Martin Honnen,

Only IE4+ and NN6 through their full DOM implementation allow that. 
Every HTMLTableElement has a property 
  rows
which contains all the HTMLTableRowElements in the table. So you get a 
reference to a table
  var table = 
    document.all ? // IE
      document.all['tableID'] :
    document.getElementById ? // NN6 or other DOM compliant browser
      document.getElementById('tableID') :
        null; // no access
and then you script table.rows for instance
  if (table) // browser supports TABLE access
    // use table.rows for instance color rows alternatingly
    for (var r = 0; r < table.rows.length; r++)
      if (r % 2 == 0)
        table.rows[r].bgColor = 'red';
      else
        table.rows[r].bgColor = 'green';

NN4 doesn't provide DOM access to TABLE elements nor to TABLE rows (TR 
elements).
