Hi Robert and thanks for your comments.

You are right. The code works with Netscape 6.02 but not with IE6. So if 
I use the same id attribute for TDs I will only get a reference to the 
first one?? Why did Microsoft did that??
It is much simpler to use the getElementsByName!!!

Cheers,

Claudio


nice thinking! Your code will work with Netscape 6 and up, but not with
IE.
Why? The reason is that Microsoft (don't ask me why) seem to demand that
for TDs (not INPUTs)=3D20
the element in question must have both the NAME and ID attribute with
the same value.

For example, this will work for you:

<tr>
	<td id=3D3D"ind" name=3D3D"ind"></td>
	<td id=3D3D"ind" name=3D3D"ind"></td>
</tr>


The downside of this is (since an ID is supposed to be unique to an
element), when you use
document.getElementById("ind") in that case, all you will get reference
to is the first element=3D20
in the page that has the "ind" ID.


For more info about Microsoft's implementation, see:

Does anyone know why it is like this? Is it meant to be like this, or is
it a bug in the Microsoft implementation?
