accessing table cell attributes

[wadars01]

I have a large table that I place no data in but just
colors but as you pass over cells I have information in
the ID and TITLE attributes of the td tag. I am trying
now to place the TITLE attribute value into a text field
in a form when the mouse is clicked over the cell. I have all
the code working except getting the value of the TITLE
attribute. I have looked and looked and tried various
code but no success.

I thought it would be something like

document.td.title
or
document.td.getAttribute("title")
or some variation of this

Hiya. Welcome to the forums.

Because it needs a specific html element, that always tells you you need to access the ID of the tag to get any results. Here is a simple script I did to show how I accessed this -

<h1 id="thisisit" title="Badger Badger">Stoaty</h1>

<script language="JavaScript">
alert(thisisit.title);
</script>
