[Javascript] Non-Scrolling Titles

[Cutter Bl]

Somebody stop me if I'm wrong here, but I think if you cell contents were 
within a span (<td><span id="spCellA1">contents</span></td>) then you could 
change the contents by writing to the span. Here is some code generated by 
Installshield for it's "Install From The Web" page:

/* Used to replace static text on page */
function writeText(id, str) {
	var strTag = '<FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2" 
color="#ea9b02"><B>' + str + '</B></FONT>';

	if (document.all)
		document.all[id].innerHTML = strTag;
	else
	if (brw == 'nav406up')
		with (document[id].document)
			{open();
			write(strTag);
			close();}
}

Just a suggestion...

Thank you all for the input.  It has been very helpful.  I've worked with
it some more and almost have it working in a top an bottom frame I
think.  The top frame has the single row of titles and no vertical scroll
bar for that frame.  The bottom frame has the body of the table with the
vertical scroll bar enabled.

I used your scaling logic to adjust the width.  My problem is that after it
adjusts the width and goes on to the next <TD> in the title table it
sometimes changes the width of the frame it just adjusted.  I saw this by
using "alert" function in the loop that adjusts width.

I think my solution is to create one more row below the table titles and
use a spacer .gif to adjust the width.  I can then hide it by letting it go
over the edge to just show the top row.

My question is this.  Is there a DOM method to change the content of a <TD>
cell in an existing table?    I noticed you used the method - z.style.width
= x; - to change the width of the cell.  How do you change the contents of
a table <tr> cell?

I'd like the end result to be interpreted something like this:
<td width=x ><IMG src="images/spacer.gif"  width=x height="1"></td>

Thanks again.

Paul
