Hi,

Say I have 2 tables, which don't have any identifier. How could I get the innerHTML value of the first <td> in the first <tr>? I'm tottaly lost in the document.all...

Thank you,

Hi darkhalf,

This should get you started...

Code:

var tables = document.getElementsByTagName("table");
if(tables.length != 0){
    var table = tables.item(0);
    var cells = table.getElementsByTagName("td");
    if(cells.length != 0){
        alert(cells.item(0).innerHTML);
    } 
}

HTH,

Chris
