This actually makes sense.
insertCell returns a reference to a newly inserted element. IE
obviously has none of the methods on a returned element. Have you
tried "wrapping" this into a helper method?
Element.addMethods('tr', {
insertCell: function(element, index) {
return $($(element).insertCell(index));
}
});
// then the following should work
$('someRowElement').insertCell(-1).writeAttribute({ ... });
