Hi:

    After a bunch of head-scratching and swearing, I have 'runtime build' of 
my variable-length table:

    I initialized the table with a <th> row, then using the code below, I 
added needed data rows thru Ajax.  But each time I went 'ajaxing' for data 
for a new table, I had to eliminate the original data rows first or thedy 
kept building up !

    Anyway, the code is below

Thank y'all !

-Mel


**************************************
// other vrbls set above as var ...

var row,cell ;
var teetable = getobj("iteetable") ;   // get the tee table object
// because we're building from scratch, I have to delete all previous rows
// past the header row

while (teetable.rows.length > 1) {
   teetable.deleteRow(1) ;  // bypass the header and get the first/next/ and 
last data row
   }

for (i=0;i<ntees;i++) {
   aflds = bresult[i].split("^") ;
   nflds = aflds.length ;
   row = teetable.insertRow(i+1) ;    // after the header row
   for (j=0;j<nflds;j++) {
      cell = row.insertCell(j) ;
      cell.innerHTML = aflds[j] ;
      if ( j === 0 ) continue ;    // leave the header background as it was 
set up
      cell.style.color = "black";
      cell.style.background = "#80ff80";
      }
   }

setteewidths()        // then set the widths of the 6 columns as defined by 
Thomas and Denis

.. etcetera ...
