Hello,
I have a dell laptop that we want to convert whats on laptop to our tv. Computer does not have hdmi connection. Does an inexpensive $10 convertor cord do the trick?

There are probably devices that will do what you want, but as Pinhedd mentioned they won't do a very good job (unless you spend a lot of money). I think most HDTVs support D-Sub (VGA), so if you have that input you're fine.

Also, if you want to get a clear answer, what type of television do you have? HDTV, tube/CRT, etc.
