Is there a way to assign an element ID to a newly created element using JavaScript DOM?
The code I've written generates a table that is displayed when a button is clicked.
I'm looking to give this table a unique ID so it can have a distinct style from other tables on my website.
Below is an example of the code I've written:
var tab = document.createElement("ViewShoppingCart");
document.getElementById("shopping_list").appendChild(tab);
var tbdy = document.createElement("tbody");
tab.id = "new_cart";
tab.appendChild(tbdy);
new_cart = true;
var total = 0;
for (var a = 0; a <= nameArray.length-1; a++) {
var tr = document.createElement("tr");
tbdy.appendChild(tr);
var td = document.createElement("td");
td.appendChild(document.createTextNode("x " + quantityArray[a]));
tr.appendChild(td);
var td2 = document.createElement("td");
td2.appendChild(document.createTextNode(nameArray[a]));
tr.appendChild(td2);
var td3 = document.createElement("td");
td3.appendChild(document.createTextNode(sumArray[a]));
tr.appendChild(td3);
}
