It's true for all IE versions. IE uses MS Table DOM, not the W3C DOM. There's an explanation on MSDN. You can replace a tbody, you can insert another tbody above or below, but you basically can't do anything via Ajax with an existing <tbody> or <tr>. I think you can update a <td> if that does anything for you. Not 100% sure of all the caveats on that though.

I guess this was why I got that error with the Dojo FilteringTable on IE.

Hi Wes,

Good info. Thanks! I'll put this in the Save folder.
