        var rowCount = table.rows.length;
        var row = table.insertRow(rowCount);
        var cell1 = row.insertCell(0);
        var element1 = document.createElement("input");
        element1.type = "text";
        cell1.appendChild(element1);     
          var cell2 = row.insertCell(1);
        var element2 = document.createElement("input");
        element2.type = "text";
        cell2.appendChild(element2);
        var cell3 = row.insertCell(2);
        cell3.innerHTML = ' <span onClick="edit(this)">Edit</span>/<span onClick="delete_row(this)">Delete</span>';
        cell3.setAttribute("style", "display:none;");
        var cell4 = row.insertCell(3);
        cell4.innerHTML = '<span onClick="save(this)">Save</span>';
}


function save(e)
{
    var elTableCells = e.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName("td");
    elTableCells[0].innerHTML=elTableCells[0].firstChild.value;
    elTableCells[1].innerHTML=elTableCells[1].firstChild.value;
    elTableCells[2].setAttribute("style", "display:block;");
    elTableCells[3].setAttribute("style", "display:none;");
}
function edit(e)
{
    var elTableCells = e.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName("td");
    elTableCells[0].innerHTML='<input type="text" value="'+elTableCells[0].innerHTML+'">';
    elTableCells[1].innerHTML='<input type="text" value="'+elTableCells[1].innerHTML+'">';
    elTableCells[2].setAttribute("style", "display:none;");
    elTableCells[3].setAttribute("style", "display:block;");

Answer 2

+4 A:

var theTable = document.getElementById("theTable");
theTable.deleteRow(0);  //0 being first row.
