[Javascript] innerHTML assignment overflows TD cell in FF

[Troy III Ajnej]

Netscape was never fit for dynamicity. Not even now (after more 
than 11 years), it still fails to handle and render dynamic content 
properly.
 
You might solve this issue if you find a way to force the browser to
reflow its content. Because it will not do it out of its politeness. 
 
What happens if you dynamically add another shorter content than 
the previous? I guess you will find a hole there. 
 
Dinosaurs are lazy breed, that's why they died in the first place. 
 
It is hopefuly possible to force mozilla reflow this cell by once again
specifying the width of it along with innerHTML injection command. 
 
But before you try this or other similar trials, like reseting te fontsize
that might also trigger the content reflow forcedly, make sure you 
didn't specify the hight of cells Since in this casse, even if you
successfully reflow the table your problem with firefox will remain
unsoved! 
Because here you'll be dealing yet with another netscape ackward 
programming decision: The content bleeding.
