What am I missing?

they are different due to the way they interpret the w3c standards


Ie was out before the standards were even in place (I think) but in any case its the way they handle the code.

post a link to the page you are working on.

Change the number of guests first and all looks perfect in FF, but not IE. Click Group Booking radio button, or change the number again, and another column is added. Just want it to look like when it first runs on FF, and then replace itself if it gets called again.

function types(tip){
 var num=document.form1.rms.value
 var tmp = "<strong>Please enter all expected guests names:</strong><br />"
 for (var n=0;n<num;n++) {
 tmp += "Guest name: <input name='guest"+n+"' type='text' id='guest"+n+"' size='15' /> Service Num: <input name='guestnum"+n+"' type='text' id='guestnum"+n+"' size='15' /><br />";
 }
 if (tip=="ind"){
 document.getElementById("grpbook").style.visibility="hidden"
 document.form1.unit.style.visibility="hidden";
 document.getElementById("glist").innerHTML="";
 }
 else{
 document.getElementById("grpbook").style.visibility="visible";
 document.form1.unit.style.visibility="visible";
 var trow = document.getElementById('glist');
 removeChildren(trow);
 addcolumn('glist', '<strong>Guest List:</strong>', 'lft', 'top', 'center', '1');
 addcolumn('glist', tmp, 'lft', 'top', 'center', '3');
 }
}
function addcolumn(rowid, ctext, tclass, tvalign, talign, span) {
 var trow = document.getElementById(rowid);
 var tcolumn = document.createElement("td");
 tcolumn.setAttribute("class", tclass);
 tcolumn.setAttribute("valign", tvalign);
 tcolumn.setAttribute("align", talign);
 tcolumn.setAttribute("colspan", span);
 tcolumn.innerHTML = ctext;
 trow.appendChild(tcolumn);
}
function removeChildren(obj) {
 while (obj.hasChildNodes()) obj.removeChild(obj.firstChild);
}

give this a whirl

F MS. WTH won't rowspan work in IE? lol

[iam_clint]

but did this fix your problem? make your table bigger or width 100% the td with set attribute.



and for a number being passed through it doesn't need to be '3' but 3

and do it this way..
tcolumn.colSpan = span;

[Vanecelli]

The column gets replaced when the function is called, but IE is still messed up. rowspan seems to not work. Actually, none of the attributes are working in IE. It's ignoring the class assignment alltogether. Plus the valign, well, everything. Stupid MS.

Ah hah!!!

tcolumn.className = tclass;

instead of

 tcolumn.setAttribute("class", tclass);

worked!!

Well, thank you very much for the help. And, I know. It's a copy of the working page and I was too lazy to add my includes. :)
