Why would that be impossible ?
<html>
<body>
<p>content</p>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
document.getElementsByTagName('p')[0].setAttribute('id','myID');
alert(document.getElementById('myID').innerHTML);
</script>
</body>
</html>

The `language' attribute is deprecated long since, and your markup
is not Valid; especially, the missing DOCTYPE declaration triggers
Quirks Mode, which can change DOM behavior.
document.getElementsByTagName('p')[0].setAttribute('id','myID');
alert(document.getElementById('myID').innerHTML);
</script>
</body>
</html>
That is setting the attribute, not changing it. Note the Subject header.
Furthermore:
- This requires other DOM methods that may not be available.
- It is known to be not possible for some elements in some DOMs
(IIRC there are issues in the IE DOM).
- setAttribute() implementations are known to be buggy.

takes place, nothing is going to be left on the face of earth.

Semi-valid point but irrelevant to the rebuttal to your assertion that
it was impossible.

Only in IE and in this case it makes no difference.
document.getElementsByTagName('p')[0].setAttribute('id','myID');
document.getElementById('p')[0].id = 'newID';
alert(document.getElementById('myID').innerHTML);
</script>
</body>
</html>

Yoohoo, dimwit, think about it. An element has an ID. You "set" the ID,
then alert that elements ID. It will give you the new ID. That is
changing the ID. You can be as pedantic as you want but the ID got changed.
Furthermore:
- This requires other DOM methods that may not be available.
Only if the user is using an antiquated anti-social browser.
- It is known to be not possible for some elements in some DOMs
(IIRC there are issues in the IE DOM).
Such as?
- setAttribute() implementations are known to be buggy.
Then you offer a better alternative. Or, preferably, you STFU and move on.

You can assign an id to any element simply by saying:
El.id = "foo";
If, for instance, you wanted to assign an ID to every FORM tag on the
page, you could do:
for(var i=0; i<document.forms.length; i++) {
document.forms[i].id = "formtag_" + i;
}
If you had three FORM tags on your page and you ran that loop, the form
tags would have ids "formtag_0", "formtag_1", "formtag_2".
Exactly how you will iterate over the tags you want to assign IDs to
will depend on exactly which tags you need to work with. ma***********@gmail.com wrote: hello there.....
