Dr John (and the others):

    My phone book has two visible columns. Each column has 307 cells. Each 
cell has 3 rows

    Each of the rows contains 5 <td> elements for each of the visible 
columns.

    When the user 'clicks' a sorting button (for Name, for street address, 
or for Lot No.), then the following javascript function is called:

    It is this next function that I would like to add (bolding/unbolding) 
code to

    Denis McMahon is the original designer of this fone book. (and I made 
several mods over the last year)

Thanks,

-Mel Smith

********************   one of the fone book table functions below

// build the table from the sorted data
function rebuildTable() {
  var theTable, theCells, i, r, baseRow;
  theTable = document.getElementById("theTable");
  for (i = 0; i < allData.length; i = i + 2) {
    baseRow = 2 + (4 * (i / 2)); // first 2 rows are header & spacer, then 4 
rows for each 2 data records
    // left side data is allData[i];
    // right side data is allData[i+1];
    for (r = 0; r < 3; r = r + 1) { // don't worry about spacer rows, just 
do data rows 0, 1, 2
      theCells = theTable.rows[baseRow + r].cells;
      if (r === 0) {
        theCells[0].innerHTML = allData[i].memName;    // would like to test 
'unbolding' here when address below is bolded
        theCells[1].innerHTML = allData[i].editButt;
        theCells[3].innerHTML = allData[i + 1].memName;
        theCells[4].innerHTML = allData[i + 1].editButt;
      } else if (r === 1) {
        theCells[0].innerHTML = "<b>"+allData[i].localAddr+"</b>";  // 
testing bolding here
        theCells[1].innerHTML = allData[i].lotNum;
        theCells[2].innerHTML = allData[i].localTel;
        theCells[4].innerHTML = "<b>"+allData[i + 1].localAddr+"</b>";
        theCells[5].innerHTML = allData[i + 1].lotNum;
        theCells[6].innerHTML = allData[i + 1].localTel;
      } else if (r === 2) {
        theCells[0].innerHTML = allData[i].otherAddr;
        theCells[1].innerHTML = allData[i].otherTel;
        theCells[3].innerHTML = allData[i + 1].otherAddr;
        theCells[4].innerHTML = allData[i + 1].otherTel;
      }
    }
  }
}
