Getting id from table

[AndyApp]

If I name a CELL in a table i.e. <TD ID=&quot;var&quot;> how do I call that ID later?

I need to be able to put the value into a session to be used on another page.

The ID is dynamically made using response.write so I don't know it in advance.

The value needs to be put into a SQL Statement that uses the TD ID as a comparison to the WHERE part of the statement.

Any help appreciated!

Merry Christmas

Im not sure i understand your question here. if you are writing the value using a response.write can you not assign it to a session variable at the same time? that way you dont need to retrieve it from the table id.


i dont think there is any easy way to find the id using javascript.

hope this helps

Having thought more about it this still wouldn't resolve what i'm trying to do.

It's hard to explain as you've probably noticed.

If one result is returned then it is easy to get that and build an SQL statement with it. However if 2 or more results are returned I can only get it to recognise the last result that was written to screen.

I need to be able to make each individual result returned a link that uses either a variable or session to pass a SQL statement to another page. However the SQL Statement needs to reference the result the user clicks on and use it in the SQL Statement.

Understand? Not sure I do! The problem is 'catching' which result is actually clicked.

If you can understand that, then any help is appreciated.

what are they clicking on?
you should be able to cycle up though the nodes till you hit a &quot;tr&quot; and grab the id, won't work in all browsers though.
