: cell.firstChild.onclick = showDetails;

: then all is ok again!
:
: A bit of info:
:
: 1. Our app is targeted at IE6+.
: 2. Changing all events in the app is not an option.
: 3. On one machine the original code works for some users and not for
others
: (active dir 2003 profiles - all admins and supposedly identical).
: 4. Conversely, the behaviour follows the user profile around on whatever
: machine they happen to use.
: 5. In a test page in the same app inline onclick events always work for
all
: users.

: this behaviour I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Will...
If you're wanting to expand (display) hidden elements, I have some examples
that might help.
