You can't use DHTML to change the contents of <table> or <tr> elements in IE6.

>MSDN says this: "However, because of the specific structure required by tables, the innerText and innerHTML properties of the table and tr objects are read-only."

Of course, the Safari and Mozilla/Firefox engineers seem to have been able to make the "structure required by tables" work for them, as my javascript works just fine there.
