Building a Table in JS and it Will Not Display

**justasiam** · November 24th, 2013, 02:06 PM

I am trying to create a table in JavaScript that contains a list of degrees, radians, sin, cos, and tan.

I have the math right, but I am having trouble with the creating the table.

It is not displaying. I know it is something simple, but I am missing it.

Ideas?

I solved the problem. It was two-fold

1 - The <script type="text/JavaScript"> was typed incorrectly.
2 - the line that says "tCell_CosX.appendChild(document.createTextNode(resultCosX));"
resultCosX should have been result_CosX

Now it works.
