    Exclamation Java/DIV help!!!!!

    here is what im using:

    function JODShow()
    {
    document.body.insertAdjacentHTML('BeforeEnd','<div style="position:absolute; top:1000px; left:450px"; ID="JOD"><font color = "white" size = "4">hello


    <a href="jokes.html" onMouseOver="JODShow()" onMouseOut="JODHide()">


    you probably get the idea, ok, now its not working they way i want position wise, when it pops up it is in the wrong place 75% of the time because of screen resolutions and all that, so how can i alter th code to make it appear in a table? when it mouses over, just have it appear in a <td>, thanks in advance

    It is so late at night.

    I don't know Java, so I can't help you.

    But you can do this in JavaScript. But why are you using absolute positioning? And if you want it in a table, why not put it in the table?

    Do you have a table on the page? If so, grab the table (getElementById()) and add a last child (check the DOM at W3C). And add a tr with a td in it. Don't use a div.
