//CAPTURE THE 'MIDDLE' NUMBER FROM .attr("iid") INTO AN ARRAY. So get "33803' from the .attr("iid) into an array using .each and the object $(this). I guess i'm still missing something regarding this jquery 'looping' business. if someone could please get me past this hump I'd appreciate it. thanks -dave
<table>
<TR class=ms-itmhover id="wtf" iid="1112,33803,0" setEdgeBorder="true">wtw</TR>
<TR class=ms-itmhover id="wtf" iid="1112,34443,0" setEdgeBorder="true">xxx</TR>
<TR class=ms-itmhover id="wtf" iid="1112,31113,0" setEdgeBorder="true">yyy</TR>
</table>
$(document).ready(function () {
var arr1 = []
var xiid = $("TR").attr("iid");
$(xiid).each(function() {
var xval = $(this).replace(/^\d{4},/,""); //DELETES PREFIX
xval = $(this).replace(/\,\d{1}$/, "");//DELETES SUFFIX
arr1.push(xval);
alert(arr1);
}); //END EACH
}); //END READY
