Change TD width in Netscape 4

We are changing the width of a column by calling the following:

This obviously doesn't work in Netscape 4 but works fine in Netscape 7.. Is there a way to change the width of a <td> using Javascript in Netscape 4+?

No. Once NN4 renders a page, there is no way to dynamically change the width of just about anything.
Question: why are you bothering to support something as antiquated as NN4?

Yeah NN 4 is a pain about DHTML type of features, One thing you can do to get around it is have the table created inside a layer tag and have it dynamically rewriteen, but that is a bit of blown out of the water for an older browser.

I like that idea. Here is what I came up with but I can't get it to work:

And here is the HTML code:

When I call updateprogress(XX), I don't get any errors but I don't see the width of the columns changing. Am I missing something?

NOTE:
I change this layout so it would not make the other replys messed up.

I just whipped this up, I am sure you can figure it out without an explaination. Code is similiar to the code I used for layers, but it uses innnerHTML instead.

Thanks alot for the javascript. When I take the function out of a form and call it, it no longer works. Below is what I want it to do. The ChangeText function runs, but the text does not get rewritten.

hey, now you wondered onto another NS4 problem. The page has to be loaded entirely before you can call the function
you can do it by adding the onload event to the body tag with the text change.
also just some info if you have <Script> you should use </Script> not </script>
It can mess up NS4 (LOL)
