createElement problem

sg_maat · Mar 4, 2005

I have a little problem with createElement(and msie).

I was experimenting a bit with createElement and made the following
script:
<script>
var tmp = document.createElement("div");
tmp.setAttribute("name", "tmpdiv2");
tmp.setAttribute("id", "calendar");
var image = document.createElement("img");
image.setAttribute("src", "img/ok.gif");
tmp.appendChild(image);

document.getElementById("body").appendChild(tmp);
</script>

Now this script works fine in msie, netscape, mozilla, firefox and
opera.

Then i made the following script:
//create new element div
var tmp = document.createElement("div");
tmp.setAttribute("name", "tmpdiv");
tmp.setAttribute("id", "calendar");

var table = document.createElement("table");
table.setAttribute("border", "1");
var tr1 = document.createElement("tr");
var td1 = document.createElement("td");
var text = document.createTextNode("Test Text");

td1.appendChild(text);
tr1.appendChild(td1);
table.appendChild(tr1);
tmp.appendChild(table);

document.getElementById("body").appendChild(tmp);
</script>

But this script show notthing in msie(other browser work fine). And my
question really is why???

var table = document.createElement("table");
table.setAttribute("border", "1");
var tr1 = document.createElement("tr");
var td1 = document.createElement("td");
var text = document.createTextNode("Test Text");

td1.appendChild(text);
tr1.appendChild(td1);
table.appendChild(tr1);

This worked for me:
(note: document.body, not document.getElementById("body") and the addition of
tbody in the table)

</head>

<body>
<script>
var tmp = document.createElement("div");
tmp.setAttribute("name", "tmpdiv");
tmp.setAttribute("id", "calendar");

var table = document.createElement("table");
table.setAttribute("border", "1");
var tbody = document.createElement("tbody");
var tr1 = document.createElement("tr");
var td1 = document.createElement("td");
var text = document.createTextNode("Test Text");

td1.appendChild(text);
tr1.appendChild(td1);
tbody.appendChild(tr1);
table.appendChild(tbody);
tmp.appendChild(table);

document.body.appendChild(tmp);
</script>
</body>
</html>

thanks,

including a tbody did the trick.
And both document.body and document.getElementById("body") work for
appendChild().

Is there a reason why msie needs a tbody and opera, netscape, mozilla
and firefox don't???

I had problems with document.getElementById("body") for some odd reason.
I often have problems for odd reasons. *grins*

MSIE sucks ass?
