Unique Id For Dynamic Table

I will be generating a HTML table with data pulled from MySQL.The number of rows in my MySQL table are not fixed. &l

Solution 1:

Why can't you do something like this ?

<?php$i = 1;
  while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
  { ?><trid="row<?phpecho$i;?>"><tdid="cell-left-<?phpecho$i;?>"><?phpecho$row['col1'];?></td><tdid="cell-right-<?phpecho$i;?>"><?phpecho$row['col2'];?></td></tr><?php$i++;
   } ?>

Please note, I have added ids row, cell-left- and cell-right- by myself. You may change them as per your requirements.

Solution 2:

You can use a counter when iterating through the rows, maybe something like this:

<?php$rowCount = 0;

    while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
    {
        $rowCount++;
        ?><trid="<?phpecho'row' . $rowCount;?>"><td><?phpecho$row['col1'];?></td><td><?phpecho$row['col2'];?></td></tr><?php
    }

?>

You can now select an element with

var rowID = 1;
document.getElementById("row" + rowID);

Hope this helps.
