[Javascript] Accessing a nested Anchor element.

[Mike Dougherty]

If there is only one on anchor in this cell, you _could_ do this: (untested)

var loContainer = document.getElementById("G23520050328_name")
if (loContainer) {
   var loAnchors = loContainer.getElementsByTagName("A")
   if (loAnchors) { 
     var loA = loAnchors.firstChild 
     if (loA) { 
       [do something] 
       }
     }
   }

If there is any potential that there could be multiple <a> per <td> you could iterate the 
loAnchors collection and act accordingly.


Why not put the id on the <a> tag that you want to reference?
