How to put parameter for object/table ID in BW Web Report

Question

Hi All,
In my BW Web report, i want to get my object TABLE_1 but the code below seems not to work.
var mytable = document.getElementsByTagName("table");
Checking on it, i think IE recognize only document.getElementsByID. ( I tested it by manually creating a table in my template and putting a tag for table ID) But BW does not generate the Object ID in the parameters below, only the name.
         <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
         <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
         <param name="NAME" value="TABLE_1"/>
         <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_GRID"/>
         <param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
         <param name="GENERATE_CAPTION" value=""/>
         <param name="CAPTION" value="jezel"/>
         <param name="ONLY_HIERARCHY_NAVIGATION" value="X"/>
         <param name="BLOCK_SIZE" value="0"/>
         <param name="SHOW_PAGING_AREA_BOTTOM" value=""/>
         ITEM:            TABLE_1
do you know how i can add a parameter for object ID? do you know any steps how i can retrieve my table using javascript?
Thanks in advance.

Hi JTi,
what i have understood from your requirement is that you want to access the web item table_1 in javascript, you can get that as below:
Add
<span> 
tag before your web item and set its id to table.
<span id = "table">
<param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
<param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
<param name="NAME" value="TABLE_1"/>
<param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_GRID"/>
<param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
<param name="GENERATE_CAPTION" value=""/>
<param name="CAPTION" value="jezel"/>
<param name="ONLY_HIERARCHY_NAVIGATION" value="X"/>
<param name="BLOCK_SIZE" value="0"/>
<param name="SHOW_PAGING_AREA_BOTTOM" value=""/>
ITEM: TABLE_1
</span>
In javascript access it as :
var mytable = document.getElementsById("table");
Hope this helps
Thanks
