Displaying Variables in a Table

[Guest RCugs]

I new to java script so i need a little help. Im simply trying to display variables in cells of a table. This is what iv'e tried so far.Attempt 1

var Winner = "You!";document.write("<tr><td>" + Winner + "</td><tr>");

Attempt 2

var Winner = "You!";<tr><td>	<script>document.write(Winner)</script> </td><td>

Attempt 3

var Winner = document.getElementById('Winner);Winner.style.innerHTML = "you";  //wasn't sure so i tried both.Winner.style.innerText = "You";<tr><td id="Winner"></td></tr>

Basically I want it to produce this.<tr><td>You</td></tr>I don't know why these arn't working.Again, Im new to this so I dont know if im close or way off but I've been working on it FOREVER and I cant get it. Someone please help! Thanks!

How about something like this:HTML

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">  <tr><td><div id="WinnerCell" /></td></tr></table>

Javascript

var winner = "You!";var cell = document.getElementById("WinnerCell");cell.innerHTML = winner;

Your attempt #3 might have worked if you'd tried:

var Winner = document.getElementById('Winner);Winner.innerHTML = "You!";

Hope this helps!

I'm hoping someone can give me a push in the right direction too!!!I have a random number generator that displays to "OutPut"... what I want to do is take the figure generated to "Output" and throw it to a case statement that loads an image. I have the output, I can write the case statement, but I am having major issues with the bit that goes in the middle!!!!!//startif (document.all)document.all.layer1.innerHTML=OutPut;if (document.getElementById)document.getElementById("layer1").innerHTML=OutPut;if (document.layers){ document.layers.layer1.document.open(); document.layers.layer1.document.write("<span style='position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;font-family:Verdana;font-size:20px;color:#888888;text-align:center'>"+OutPut+"</span>"); document.layers.layer1.document.close(); } T=setTimeout('lotto()',20);//window.status=OutPut;}case 1: document.write(<caption>JACKPOT!!!!</caption><td><img src="dracula.jpg" width="1024" height="576" border="0" align="middle"></td> breakcan anyone tell me how to take Output and link to a case statement????????thanks in advance

I'm not quite sure what you're going for there, but maybe this'll help (I haven't tested this, but it should be close):

<div id="caption" /><img id="display" align="middle" /><script type="text/javascript">// do whatever code you do to generate the random number// and/or recieve user input.var someNumber = 1;  // you would have your code assign some value herevar captionObj = document.getElementById("caption");var displayObj = document.getElementById("display");switch(someNumber){    case 1:  // someNumber == 1        captionObj.innerHTML = "JACKPOT!";        displayObj.src = "dracula.jpg";        displayObj.width = "1024";        displayObj.height = "576";        displayObj.alt = "JACKPOT!";        displayObj.border = "0";        break;    case 2:  // someNumber == 2        break;    default:        break;}</script>
