A simple question ref Array vars into HTML <TD>

How can I get the program to put the returned value into a table on the same page as the original link. So far, all I have manged to achieve is to use the document.write method but this puts the value onto a fresh page and I want it in the page it was requested.

The code is as follows:

<body>
<table width="300">
<tr>
<td>
<a href="#" onmouseover="subMenu(0);">Link A</a>
</td>
<td>
<script type="text/javascript">
function subMenu(funcNum){
newFuncNum=new Array("<a href=#>Link A</a>");
return(newFuncNum[funcNum]);
}
</script>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Just in case you are wondering why I only have one value in my array it is due to wanting to get the function to return the value before I expand the program.

As you can tell I'm kinda new to this so any help would be appreciated

Yes, document.write is not a good practice since it produces 'unpredictable' outputs and overrides your page's contents.

You should be using <div> instead of tables..and when div, the easiest way is to have it display during onClick.

Hope made some sense Wink
