title: Insert a cell with javascript and then insert checkboxes into it?
body: <p>I want to create a table with javascript, and in some of the cells, put in radiobuttons and checkboxes with javascript.
  I found this code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>function insRow() {
          var x = document.getElementById('myTable').insertRow(0);
          var y = x.insertCell(0);
          y.setAttribute('id', "NewDiv");
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(the last line (<code>setAttribute</code>) is a line that I added.  I thought that I could give the new table cell an ID, and then use <code>document.GetElementByID</code> with that ID in various subroutines.  That does not work.  Now maybe making a global variable to store a copy of 'y' in would work - I could use it in the routines.  But shouldn't the above code also work?</p>
