The table is not redrawn correctly after an appendChild() in the same table row in which an onchange event from a select box is received.

Example code:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
	"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
function addvalue () {
	target = document.getElementById ("foo");
	target.appendChild (document.createTextNode ("some text"));
	target.appendChild (document.createElement ("br"));
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
	<table border="1">
		<tr>
			<td>
				<form action="#" method="post">
					<select name="test1" onchange="addvalue();">
						<option value="1">foo</option>
						<option value="2">bar</option>
					</select>
				</form>
			</td>
			<td width="100" id="foo">
			</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>
				<form action="#" method="post">
					<select name="test2" onchange="addvalue();">
						<option value="1">foo</option>
						<option value="2">bar</option>
					</select>
				</form>
			</td>
			<td>
			</td>
		</tr>
	</table>
</body>
</html>


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. load example page
2. change the upper select box

Actual Results:  
Text is added to table cell, but the table is not expanded to accommodate the changed content of the cell, added text is written over the table boundary.


Expected Results:  
Table expands as required.

Is there a workaround?
