<DIV></DIV><FONT size=-1><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">Hi
folks,<BR><BR>I've got another simple question. Is this not how you set an
element's attribute?<BR>[from inside an
.each()]<BR><BR>$(this).attr("AttributeName", "Value");<BR><BR>I thought that
worked... I thought it had worked for me in the past.<BR><BR>Is there any reason
that this wouldn't work:<BR><BR>var i =
1;<BR>$("div.OrderEntryListRow").not(".Selected").each(function(){<BR>   
alert("before: " + $(this).attr("ID"));<BR>    $(this).attr("ID",
"Row_" + i);<BR>    alert("after: " +
$(this).attr("ID"));<BR>    i++;<BR>});<BR><BR>In this sample
code above, the before and after alerts are identical. Is there something else
I'm missing?<BR><BR>I think I've got the above idea correct, but wanted to get
some different eyes to look at it with
me.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Chris<BR></FONT></FONT><PRE class=moz-signature cols="72">--
