I'm having a table with tr generating in a loop

<table>
    <div id="trresults">
    {FOR LOOP}
         <tr>
             <td>sample text</td>
             <td>sample text</td>
             <td>sample text</td>
         </tr>
         <tr>
             <td>sample text</td>
             <td>sample text</td>
             <td>sample text</td>
         </tr>
    {END FOR LOOP}
     </div>
</table>

I want to group the tr's and set a id for that. So that I used div for that, but div will not work as in table all the items should be inside td's. So how can I solve this problem?

• 1 depending on what your goal is, maybe you can give all the tr's inside the loop the same class? – leeny Commented Jan 11, 2011 at 9:56
• I want id to be set not classes – Rajasekar Commented Jan 11, 2011 at 9:56
• Is there a reason you can't use multiple tables, and set the ID on each table? – Sam Dufel Commented Jan 11, 2011 at 9:59
• what code generates all the tr's? can the same code assign a unique id to each tr? please give us some details on the {FOR LOOP} part. – KBoek Commented Jan 11, 2011 at 10:00
• Hi Rajasekar, What is your reasoning for wanting an ID rather than class? – Alex KeySmith Commented Jan 11, 2011 at 10:04

You can use a TBODY element to group your rows

<table>
    <tbody id="trresults1">
      {FOR LOOP}
         <tr><td>for loop message</td></tr>
      {END FOR LOOP}
     </tbody>
    <tbody id="trresults2">
      {FOR LOOP}
         <tr><td>for loop message</td></tr>
      {END FOR LOOP}
     </tbody>
</table>
