Javascript – Debugging IE8 Javascript Replace innerHTML Runtime Error

debugginginnerhtmljavascript

function DeleteData(ID)
{
 var ctrlId=ID.id;

 var divcontents=document.getElementById(ctrlId).innerHTML;
 var tabid=ctrlId.replace(/div/,'tab');
 var tabcontents=document.getElementById(tabid).innerHTML;
 alert(document.getElementById(tabid).innerHTML);
 document.getElementById(tabid).innerHTML="<TBody><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td></td></tr></TBody>";
 document.getElementById(ctrlId).innerHTML='';

}

I am trying to replace the Table with empty table but 

document.getElementById(tabid).innerHTML="<TBody><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td></td></tr></TBody>";

this line is causing Unknown Runtime Error

You can't set value to a table's innerHTML, you should access to child cells or rows and change them like that : 

document.getElementById(tabid).rows[0].cells.innerHTML = 'blah blah';

For more info/example : Table, TableHeader, TableRow, TableData Objects
