thanks guys, good point.

That being the case, if I want to insert two rows into the table, using
javascript, how could I do that within the bounds of valid HTML? One of
two code options is inserted by the js - one option having one row, the
second having two...? by inserting two rows (which will have rows before
and after), I'm going to have to have the div overlapping the cells and
rows at some point?
