'TypeError: xxx is not a function' is thrown only in Firefox
 
Hi

I am trying to go through rows of table using

var table= document.getElementById('table');
var trows = table.getElementsByTagName('tr');


I am able run through the table and review each row in IE, Chrome it works perfectly. The same code when viewed in FireFox throws 'TypeError: trows is not a function' error. The error occurs when I try to get the row id by using 'trows(i).id' while 'trows.length' works fine.

I am foxed!! Any way to get over this.

The code HTML page is
Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <title>Firefox Error</title>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function checkTable(){
    var table= document.getElementById('table');
     
        var trows = table.getElementsByTagName('tr');
           
        for (var i= 0; i <  trows.length; i++) {
          try{
         
            alert(trows(i).id);
         
            }
            catch(e){
                alert(e);
            } 
        }

  }
    </script>
</head>
<body onload="checkTable();">
<table id="table">
    <tr id="tr1">
        <td>Trial1</td>
        <td>Trial2</td>
    </tr>
      <tr id="tr2">
        <td>Trial4</td>
        <td>Trial5</td>
    </tr>
      <tr id="tr3">
        <td>Trial6</td>
        <td>Trial7</td>
    </tr>
      <tr id="tr4">
        <td>Trial11</td>
        <td>Trial21</td>
    </tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

Thanks

You're trying to call it like a function (with parentheses), but it isn't a function, hence the error.

What you really want to do is access the entries of an array-like object, and that you do with brackets:

Code:

alert(trows[i].id);
