Inserting an IE5+/Windows Table Row
function addRow(item1) {
if (item1) {
// assign long reference to shorter var name
var theTable = document.all.myTable
// append new row to the end of the table
var newRow = theTable.insertRow(theTable.rows.length)
// give the row its own ID
newRow.id = newRow.uniqueID
// declare cell variable
var newCell
// an inserted row has no cells, so insert the cells
newCell = newRow.insertCell(0)
// give this cell its own id
newCell.id = newCell.uniqueID
// display the row's id as the cell text
newCell.innerText = newRow.id
newCell.bgColor = "yellow"
// reuse cell var for second cell insertion
newCell = newRow.insertCell(1)
newCell.id = newCell.uniqueID
