    Dynamic table, setting v-align of a new cell

    Hello,

    I am working on something that only needs to work in IE, and I've got
    this code:

    var aRows=oTable.ro ws;
    var oCell1_1=aRows( 0).insertCell() ;
    oCell1_1.innerH TML= 'new cell'

    Which inserts a row in my table and I can populate the cell with the
    text using the innerHTML property. No problem.

    My question is, how do I set the VALIGN of this new cell?

    I have tried this..

    oCell1_1.valign ='top'

    and that does not generate a JavaScript error but it doesn't
    vertically align the text in the cell either.

    Other attempts generate javascript errors..

    Can someone please help!

    Thanks,

    Rich

      Probably using the CSS style:
      oCell1_1.style. verticalAlign = "top";

          In a brand new td node, there is no firstChild. In this case, you should
          rather do a
          oCell1_1.append Child(document. createTextNode( 'new cell'));
          to create the text node.

          Not necessarily. The DOM node is a host object, so behavior doesn't
          have to follow Javascript objects, but I haven't seen a DOM
          implementation yet that didn't allow you to create any property.
          It's not an error. It just won't do anything.
