Accessing table cells via Row #, Col #

Using JavaScript, I want to be able to access cells within an HTML table,
via computed row
number and column number.

I was considering using oTableID.children[] and oTR.children[] arrays.

My question is what browsers and browser versions support this?

If the children[] constructs are not fairly universally supported, then what
is a better approach to doing this?

FYI, I got some good replies to this question on comp.lang.javascript. If
you are interested, take a look at them there.
