[pelegk1]

i am trying to do this :

function WriteCitys(){
for (i=0,count=0;i<maxCity;++i,++count){
if (i<tmpCityList.length) {
cityList[count]=tmpCityList[i];
tmpStr='<font face="Arial" size="6"><a href="JavaScript:Submit(cityList[0])">';
tmpStr+=tmpCityList[i]+'</a></font>';
document.all["tdCity"+count].innerHtml=tmpCityList[i];
}
}

Change this line
document.all["tdCity"+count].innerHtml=tmpCityList[i];

to this

document.getElementById("tdCity"+count).innerHtml=tmpCityList[i];

more importantly..make sure you have tdCity+count id 's assigned

[pelegk1]

beacuse when i use innerText i does change all the td's
but not using the font and the herf that i need:(
what else can i do?
thanks

It's more likely that you need to spell "innerHtml" as "innerHTML". The case is important.

that solvedthe problem!
but why sometimes the properties are case sensetive and sometimes not?

heh heh, I get days like that :D

pelegk1 - in answer to your question, JavaScript is a case-sensitive language, HTML on the other hand is case-insensitive so you are free to use whatever case you like for attributes in HTML, but not in JS.

Just a little addition,As of now a days,XHTML requires that all the attribute names and their corresponding values be in lower case,heck even elements names be in lower case.
I think in near future HTML style coding will be obsolete, Point is its a good practice to use lower case evenin html as well

This is really OT, but in your tag line - holy only has one "l".

Holly is a tree. If you have never seen it, here is one of the better pictures that I could find on the web - http://www.uksafari.com/holly.htm
