Bug in prototype from svn

This page uses the prototype library to insert new cells into table rows. The stable 1.4.0 release of prototype works in Opera and Gecko based browers such as firefox but not IE or Konqueror. The svn version (as of 2006/6/23) works a little better in IE but not quite.

Table without tbody, thead, or tfoot

Table with Tbody

Table with thead

This table uses Insertion.Bottom:

Table with tfoot

My Code

This is the code that runs in the loading of this page. It grabs the table row and uses the Insertion object from the prototype library. Note that the use of document.getElementById() and the use of $(). Niether works in Konqueror. In IE the prototype library (svn) shows the new cell but it overlaps the rest of the table row. I have tried adding css to fix it but have not had success. The other browswers work properly as in the new cell does not overlap the rest of the row. var p = $('row1'); new Insertion.Top(p, '<td>New Cell</td>'); var g = document.getElementById('row2'); new Insertion.Top(g, '<td>New Cell</td>');
