how can i go to each td and check the innerhtml value without giving an id for each td

loop through all cells of that table, returned by getElementsByTa gName()

i canot give an id for each td because the table is build by a function

that is a lame excuse. although I admit, generating IDs is not very convenient.

a simple example in PHP could look like

echo '<td id="cell' . $count++ . '">cell content</td>';

whatever you like. for, while, do … while, pick one of them.

what kind of more specific? the principle of creating the IDs ain’t much different in other languages, including JavaScript.

If you're going to use elem.getElement sByTagName("td" ) (elem being the table or tbody element), there's no need to set any IDs. Check out a simple JavaScript tutorial on the different types of loops (see the off-site links thread for some links). If you're familiar with a C-style language, JavaScript loops should be pretty easy to pick up.
