Values for the attribute id that begin with numbers often do not work in many situations. Also, the way you have it (with two double quotes followed by the id and then another double quote), would be read by most browsers as no id. Is there any way that they could be changed to, say:
Code:
<TABLE Id="MyTable" name="Mytable">
<TR>
<TD Id="a89">Donald Duck</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD Id="a7659">Donald Duck</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
so that they would at least be valid id's?
If so, you could then have their values available like so:
document.getElementById('a89').innerHTML
for whatever use you have in mind, ex:
Code:
alert(document.getElementById('a89').innerHTML)
