As your Ajax result is a TD, innerHTML wont work if you don't create
whole TABLE with TBODY. You should do this:
var old = $('thisisatd');
var tr = TR(null);
var tbl = TABLE(null, TBODY(null, tr));
tr.innerHTML = '<td id="thisisatd" colspan="3">A new text</td>';
swapDOM(old, tr.firstChild);
For your information, I'm implementing a jQuery style helper module
(see previous post) that will easy such tasks, for example:
MochiKit.Query('#thisisatd').replaceWith('<td id="thisisatd"
colspan="3">A new text</td>');
The MochiKit.Query will take care of creating valid DOM from the given
row html text and also executes JavaScript within the text if any.
Though almost finished, the module is still not made public. I'm
reviewing some of the code and will release the code within a week or
so...
