[thelist] dHtml <td> contents

[Joshua OIson]

Probably the technique you want to look at is assigning the desitination
cell (the cell into which you wish to load the content) an id, then set the
innerHTML of that cell through the DOM.

For example:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td id=foo>bar</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Then, somewhere in javascript, execute:

  document.all.foo.innerHTML = 'bar2';

That's all there is to it.

You also might look at the variation called outerHTML, which grants you
access to the attributes of the <td>.
