How do I access a dynamically created span id's innerText?

[Guest_imported]

Here's the code:

for (N=1; N<=10; N++)
{
<span id=N></span>
}

This will create 10 span fields with id's of 1 to 10

How do I access each of these id's innerText without hardcoding them?

for (N=1; N<=10; N++)
{
N.innerText = N
}

This doesn't work, as it's trying to write to N.innerText and not 1.innerText to 10.innerText? I need to access N's variable & not N itself!

Thanks if you can help

in IE, this is easy. First of all, remember that valid ids cannot start with a number, so change your span generating code to:

for (N=1; N<=10; N++)
{
document.body.innerHTML+=&quot;<span id='span_&quot;+N+&quot;'></span>&quot;
}

Then to access them:

for (N=1; N<=10; N++)
{
document.getElementById(&quot;span_&quot;+N).innerText = N;
