var newId = 2; row.insertCell( 6 ).innerHTML = "<a href=Update_Gate.cfm?GateIdVar=" + newId + ">Edit Gate</a>"; You need to concatenate your variable value (newId) with the literal string (everything else). By just passing one quoted literal string, 'newID' is just that... a literal string. -- Charlie Griefer http://charlie.griefer.com (http://charlie.griefer.com/) I have failed as much as I have succeeded.
