Appending new table to existing table

[Girish Kumar Prabhakar]

Hi All,

I have a table which have one row and one column. Inside this i have a second table(inner table).
I want to add a new table to this existing table through javascript.
My code is working for Mozilla FF but not for IE.

Can someone please tell me whats wrong in this code.

var maintable = document.getElementById("maintable");
var innertable = document.getElementById("innertable");
var rowcount = innertable .rows.length;

mytable     = document.createElement("table");
myhead = document.createElement("thead");
mytablebody = document.createElement("tbody");

for(var j = 0; j < rowcount; j++) {

mycurrent_row = document.createElement("tr");
	
mycurrent_cell = document.createElement("td");
				
var element = document.createElement("input");
element.type = "text";
element.id = "test"+j;				
mycurrent_cell.appendChild(element);
mycurrent_row.appendChild(mycurrent_cell);
				
nextcell = document.createElement("td");
var myTextNode = document.createTextNode("world");
nextcell.appendChild(myTextNode);				
mycurrent_row.appendChild(nextcell);
						
mytablebody.appendChild(mycurrent_row);
			 
}

mytable.appendChild(myhead);
mytable.appendChild(mytablebody);

[b]maintable.appendChild(mytable);[/b]

Thanks in advance.

When you are doing maintable.appendChild(mytable) you are basically creating markup that would look something like this

<table> <!-- main table -->
<table> <!-- new Table -->
</table>
</table>

I bet that is not what you are after.

Hi Eric,

Yes, i am not looking for this.

what i want is i have a main table. Inside thid main table there is already one table.(for eg innertable1).
I want to add a new table( for eg innertable2) to main table.

Something like this :

<maintable>
<innertable1> //which is already there.
<innertable2> // the one created dynamically.
</maintable>

Hope i am able to explain properly.

Thanks.

well you would have to add a new row to the main table and add it or append it to the same cell the inner table is in.
