    IE DOM appendChild problem

    Hey,

    Please try this code:


    Code:
    <html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">

function initialise(){	
		mytable = document.createElement("table");
		mytr = document.createElement("tr");
		mytd = document.createElement("td");
		
		mytd.innerHTML = "Test";
		
		mytr.appendChild(mytd);
		mytable.appendChild(mytr);
		
		mydiv = document.getElementById("test");
		mydiv.appendChild(mytable);
		
		
		
		alert(mydiv.innerHTML);
}

</script>
<head>
<body onload="initialise();">


<div id="test"></div>

</body>
</html>

    Seems to work in Firefox but not in IE. I put the alert() in to show that the html is actually inserted into the div but it just doesnt show up


    Can anyone help out with why?


    Cheers

    Andy

              ...or a tbody. IE for some reason requires a tbody whereas other browsers don't.
