insertRow and id tag

[Christopher Berg]

hi.
is there a way to add an id='...' tag to a table row when using
the javascript insertRow() ?

i wish to be able to manipulate this row later if i need to
using that identifier (eg to toggle its display style).

thank you.

You mean add an id attribute? Yes, insertRow returns a reference to the
newly created row:

var newRow = tableSection.insertRow(-1);
newRow.id = 'someUniqueID';

using that identifier (eg to toggle its display style).

That seems to indicate that you will use getElementById. Consider
other methods, say keeping references to rows in an object or array, or
use an intrinsic event - they may be more robust and faster.
