getelementbyid- duplicate id problem

[MDanz]

i have two id's that are the same from two different table.

 

 var newtext = document.getElementById(number).innerHTML;

 

this code is grabbing the wrong id.  the id is a counter/variable in a loop so it changes, so i can't do getElementByName.. how do i get around this?

id should be unique withina document. You're breaking the rules, you get consequences.
