setting the ID for an tr-element

[Erwin Moller]

Hi group,

This seems basic to me, but I can't find the solution.

I have a table that grows tr's and td's.
At one point I have something like this:
var new_tr = tableRef.insertRow(newRowNum);

How can I give this new tr (new_tr) an ID that can be referenced by means of
getElementById() ??

I hoped for something like:
new_tr.setID("row20");
but that doesn't fly. :-/

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
Erwin Moller

Wow, I knew it had to be simple. :-)

Thanks for your quick response!
