Ok, here is where I'm at -- tried what Joel said..still getting an
endless loop, even if I remove the numrows = numrows - 1

---
function tempDelete()
{
	var table = document.getElementById("mydocs");
	var tbody = document.getElementById("doclist");
	var numrows = table.getElementsByTagName("TR").length;

	x = 0;

	while(x < numrows)
	{
		if(!x == 0) // don't do any operations on the delete checkbox.
		{
		curID = table.getElementsByTagName("TR").item(x).id;
		CBID = "cb_" + curID;
		curCB = document.getElementById(CBID);

			if(curCB.checked == true)
			{
				row = table.getElementsByTagName("TR").item(x);
				tbody.removeChild(row);
				numrows = numrows - 1;
			}
			else
			{
			x++;
			}
		}

	}
}

I've hit the wall here..any other suggestions?
