Oct 8th, 2000, 09:45 PM
Hi there, I would like to get the proper syntax to change the text value of a cell wihtin a table. I was thinking that I could do it like this but it didn't quite work:

<table id="mytable" border="1" cellspacing="1" width="500"
<tr>
<td id="A1" width="50" align="center" text="Monday"></td>
<td id="A2" width="50" align="center" text="Tuesday"></td>
<td id="A3" width="50" align="center" text="Wednesday"><td>
</tr>
</table>

<input id= buton1 type="button" value="change Day">


sub button1_onclick()
mytable.cells.item(A1).style.text = "Saturday"
end sub

I know the above syntax isn't quite right but if you understand what I'm trying to do, please send your suggestions for a better way to do it.
