I have run into an issue, and I am not sure if its me, or code.

if I build a table, with an arbitrary number of rows.
Then, via an ajax call, add a new row to the table, without anything in each TD.
It seems that the new row DOES NOT inherit the styles that were set in a stylesheet when the page first loads.

with ajax, do you need to do inline styles? In otherwords, are new elements that you add to the dom, ignorant of the original stylesheet???

Adding rows to a table dynamically is fraught with peril. Your issue here is one of the doesnt-work-consistently-anywhere items.

That is my experience, that dynamically adding new rows the CSS does not inherit correctly, if at all. But by calling out the class name that you want a row to be then you'll get what you want ie., <tr class="myclass">. It's slightly more pain but quite worth it.

actually I have discovered this.

weirdness with adding via the dom.
fine when adding via inner html.

so
document.getElementById('tableid').innerHTML = newrow+document.getElementById('tableid').innerHTML;

dumb, but meh, whatever.
