Hmm.

I’ve never used HTMLTableRowElement before, but I did a quick google and it seems like all the HTMLTable… DOM2 classes are supported by IE4 and newer.

The only thing I can suggest based on your code, is that namedItem returns a Node, whilst rowIndex is an attribute of HTMLTableRowElement.

I’m not sure if that’s what is causing the problem; I’ll have to make up some sample code myself.

Let me know if you find a solution.

Hey man, nice work! Do you by any chance know of an IE equivalent for an HTMLTableRowElement’s rowIndex property? This is what I’m doing, and it works with FF:

var rows = gTableSection.rows;
var rowAttach = rows.namedItem(“attach”);

//determine rowIndex
var rowIndex = rowAttach.rowIndex; // IE starts wining like a pussy here

var insertedRowRef = gTableSection.insertRow(rowIndex);

I know I could iterate through all table rows keep track of how many are there, and I’ll have to do that unless there’s a better way of finding an index of a HTMLTableRowElement.

Awesome. Truly awesome. I have looked at probably 20 other solutions, and this one worked. Microsoft’s official example wouldn’t run in Firefox! This runs in both IE and FF.

Hmmm. Don’t take this as gospel truth – it may still be completely wrong. All I know is that it works
