How can i pass info to a variable id tag with innerHTML?

This is what i tried.Say results[0] gives back 2, i want to update de info in <TD id='tag2'>. This gives no error, but no result aswell.

var vtag = 'tag'+trim(results[0]);
vtag.innerHTML= results[1];
.....

<TD id='tag2'></TD>

Thanks Joe for your quick respons, you helped me a great deal! I only had to add a trim function, and it works like a buzz now!


function trim(str)
{
return str.replace(/^\s*|\s*$/g,"");
}

function handleHttpResponse() {
if (http.readyState == 4) {
    // Put returned values in array
    results = http.responseText.split("|");
    // construct variable en assign value to it
    var vtag = document.getElementById("tag" + trim(results[0]));
    if (vtag) vtag.innerHTML = results[1]
}
}
