There is rarely any need to set HTML attributes when dealing with an HTML DOM, just set the appropriate property. setAttribute and getAttribute are useful for DOMs that are not HTML, or for non-standard attributes in an HTML DOM - though that makes the markup invalid and so shouldn't be used. Again, just use standard object property access methods (dots or square brackets). -- Rob
