Subject: [Javascript] innerHTML trouble with IE 5-mac os 9

Hello. I'm new to the list. Searched the archives, but could not find 
this issue.

I am using innerHTML to change the contents of a table cell. It works 
well in Windows and almost all Macs. On IE 5/Mac OS9 there is a 
problem. The new content is supposed to be a new table. But in IE 5/Mac 
OS9 the table does not draw properly. The table gets displayed. Then 
all the contents of the rows get placed underneath the table (on the y 
axis) with all the rows stacking on top of each other (on the z axis).

I have a sample page that shows the problem in IE 5/Mac OS9
http://cpe1.com/jstest/inner_test.html

Here's the code if you prefer

Thanks for the help

Geoff
