<HTML>

<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">

function table()

{
document.write("example")
}

</SCRIPT>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<TABLE BORDER=3>
<TR><TD>
"HERE"
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>

<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="FUNCTION IN TABLE" onClick="table()">

</BODY>

</HTML>

How would i call the function to work in the table instead of starting a new page? Like when i click on the button, i want it to write "example" in the table.

Can anyone help me?

Give the <td> tags an ID:
<td id="test">
</td>

And use the innerHTML property:

(Toggle Plain Text)

function table() {
    document.getElementById("test").innerHTML = "Boo!";
}
