Hey Adam0101 !

WOW this was fast!

The question is: how ?
(because in the above mentioned way it did not work for me.... or have I made some stupid typo again ?)

thx

the exact way you did it should work, as long as you pass the element into the function as you displayed...

heeeep72, although what you're trying should work, you may want to look into the javascript method [!]setAttribute[/!]. You may have more luck with that. You can copy/paste the example below into a new page to see how it works.

<script type="text/javascript">

function blah(obj) {
   obj.[!]setAttribute("value", "I've been clicked")[/!];
   obj.[!]setAttribute("id", "thatWasntSoHard")[/!];
   alert(obj.id);
}

</script>

<input type="button" value="click me" id="theHardestButtonToButton" onclick="blah(this)" />
