                else if(window.ActiveXObject){ // Internet Explorer

                            xhr = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
                        } catch (e) {
                            xhr = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

                    var body = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];

                // Retrieve <table> ID and create a <tbody> element

                    var tblBody = document.createElement("tbody");
                    var row = document.createElement("tr");

                // Create  <td> elements and a text node, make the text
                // node the contents of the <td>, and put the <td> at
                // the end of the table row
                    var cell_1 = document.createElement("td");
                    var cell_2 = document.createElement("td");

                    var cell_4 = document.createElement("td");

                // Create the first cell which is a text zone   
                    var cell1=document.createElement("input");
                    cell1.type="text";
                    cell1.name="fname";
                    cell1.size="20";
                    cell1.maxlength="50";
                    cell_1.appendChild(cell1);

                // Create the second cell which is a text area  
                    var cell2=document.createElement("textarea");
                    cell2.name="fdescription";
                    cell2.rows="2";
                    cell2.cols="30";
                    cell_2.appendChild(cell2);

                    var cell3 = document.createElement("div");
                    cell3.innerHTML=xhr.responseText;
                    cell_3.appendChild(cell3);


                // Create the fourth cell which is a href
                    var cell4 = document.createElement("a");
                    cell4.appendChild(document.createTextNode("[Delete]"));
                    cell4.setAttribute("href","javascrit:deleteRow();");
                    cell_4.appendChild(cell4);


                // add cells to the row
                    row.appendChild(cell_1);
                    row.appendChild(cell_2);
                    row.appendChild(cell_3);
                    row.appendChild(cell_4);


                // add the row to the end of the table body
                    tblBody.appendChild(row);

                // put the <tbody> in the <table>
                    tbl.appendChild(tblBody);
                // appends <table> into <body>
                    body.appendChild(tbl);
                // sets the border attribute of tbl to 2;
                    tbl.setAttribute("border", "1");
            }

                }

            xhr.open("GET","fstatus.php",true);
            xhr.send(null);
        }

</head>
<body >
<h1> Create an Item </h1>
<form method="post">
    <table align="center" border = "2" cellspacing ="0" cellpadding="3" id="table"> 
        <tr><td><b>Functionality Name:</b></td> <td><b>Description:</b></td> <td><b>Status:</b></td> <td><input type="button" Name= "Ajouter" Value="Ajouter" onclick="go()"></td></tr>

    </table>    

</form> 
</body>
</html>

Now, I would like to use the href [Delete] to delete one particular row.

I wrote this:

    <script type="text/javascript">
function deleteRow(r){
var i=r.parentNode.parentNode.rowIndex;
document.getElementById('table').deleteRow(i);
}
</script>

When I change the first code like this: cell4.setAttribute("href","javascrit:deleteRow(this);");

I got an error: The page cannot be displayed. I am redirected to a new pagewhich can not be displayed.

How could I delete my row by using the function deleteRow(r)? table is the id of my table

Thanks.
