how can i go to each td and check the innerhtml value without giving an id for each td

loop through all cells of that table, returned by getElementsByTagName()

i canot give an id for each td because the table is build by a function

that is a lame excuse. although I admit, generating IDs is not very convenient.

a simple example in PHP could look like

echo '<td id="cell' . $count++ . '">cell content</td>';

whatever you like. for, while, do … while, pick one of them.

what kind of more specific? the principle of creating the IDs ain’t much different in other languages, including JavaScript.

If you're going to use elem.getElementsByTagName("td") (elem being the table or tbody element), there's no need to set any IDs. Check out a simple JavaScript tutorial on the different types of loops (see the off-site links thread for some links). If you're familiar with a C-style language, JavaScript loops should be pretty easy to pick up.
