How to cbind DF:s with differing number of rows?

This should do it for you by padding out the rows so they are the same length:
# use your 'g' and pad out the rows so they are the same length
str(g)
List of 5
 $ x    :'data.frame':  3 obs. of  2 variables:
  ..$ x   : Factor w/ 3 levels "1","2","3": 1 2 3
  ..$ Freq: int [1:3] 9 9 8
 $ y    :'data.frame':  30 obs. of  2 variables:
  ..$ x   : Factor w/ 30 levels "4.21178116845085",..: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...
  ..$ Freq: int [1:30] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
 $ f    :'data.frame':  2 obs. of  2 variables:
  ..$ x   : Factor w/ 2 levels "lev1","lev2": 1 2
  ..$ Freq: int [1:2] 15 15
 $ g    :'data.frame':  20 obs. of  2 variables:
  ..$ x   : Factor w/ 20 levels "2000-01-02","2000-01-03",..: 1 2 3 4

  ..$ Freq: int [1:20] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
 $ wdays:'data.frame':  7 obs. of  2 variables:
  ..$ x   : Factor w/ 7 levels "Friday","Monday",..: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
  ..$ Freq: int [1:7] 2 3 3 4 3 2 3
# determine max nrows

#Hi R-users,
#Suppose that I have a data.frame like this:

y1 <- rnorm(10) + 6.8
y2 <- rnorm(10) + (1:10*1.7 + 1)
y3 <- rnorm(10) + (1:10*6.7 + 3.7)
y <- c(y1,y2,y3)
x <- rep(1:3,10)
f <- gl(2,15, labels=paste("lev", 1:2, sep=""))
g <- seq(as.Date("2000/1/1"), by="day", length=30)
DF <- data.frame(x=x,y=y, f=f, g=g)
DF$g[DF$x == 1] <- NA
DF$x[3:6] <- NA
DF$wdays <- weekdays(DF$g)

DF

#For EDA purposes, I would like to calculate frequences in each variable
g <- lapply(DF, function(x) as.data.frame(table(x)))

#After this, I would like to cbind these data.frames (in g) into a
single data.frame (which to export to MS Excel)
#do.call(cbind, g) does not seem to work because of the different
number of rows in each data.frame.
#The resulting data.frame shoul look like this (only two variables
printed here):

Rowid;x;Freq.x;y;Freq.y; # etc...
