I am trying to use javascript to change a bit of HTML between a set of span tags. My javascript code looks like this:

Code:
document.getElementById(currentItemSpan).innerHTML =
  '[tr][td]' + currentItemWhole + currentItemFractions +
  currentItemIngredient + currentItemForm;

When I remove the '[tr][td]' part of the previous line, things work fine. I've been able to add HTML tags such as [a href], [img], etc, but for some reason the table tags cause problems. Is there something that I am doing wrong or can this not be done using [tr][td] tags?

Anyone?

It seems to me it should work with [tr] [td] if you got it to work with other tags. Do you have an opening table tag before it and closing td & tr tags after it? What browser(s) have you tested? Sorry, I have to go to class or I'd work through this one.

edit// could you edit that code sample so that it fits in a smaller window? thx

Why don't you just leave the td and tr in the html and just set the .innertext instead? I also notice that it appears you're concatenating a string along with the addition of numbers. Javascript might be thinking that instead of addition, you want concatenation. It appears you want some addition and then concatenate the string to the numbers.ToString(). Dunno.
