Newbie: I needs to add a ID attribute to a TD cell tag

Question

Hi,
I feel like I bug u to much... but I needs to hide columns and rows so I needs to add a ID attribute to a TD cell tag or a report region, report.
I tried adding Column Attributes: CSS Class: myclass - it only affects the column text
do I use "Element Attributes" or "Element Option Attributes" if so how?
thanks. RJ

Sorry I posted a little too quick. I see you want to hide a column in a report.
Place this code in the HTML Header of the page
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function getCellIndex(pRow, pCell) {
  if (document.all ){ // if IE do things the MS way
    for (var i=0; i<pRow.cells.length; i++) {
      if (pRow.cells[i] == pCell) {
        lCount = i
  } else { // do things the standard way
    lCount = pCell.cellIndex;
  return lCount;
function cellColumn(pId, pFunction) {
  var lCell      = $x(pId);
  var lTable     = $x_UpTill(lCell, 'TABLE');
  var lRows      = lTable.rows;
  var lCellIndex = getCellIndex(lCell.parentNode, lCell);
  for (var i=0; i<lRows.length; i++) {
    switch(pFunction){
      case 'TOGGLE':$x_Toggle(lRows.cells[lCellIndex]);break;
case 'SHOW' :$x_Show (lRows[i].cells[lCellIndex]);break;
case 'HIDE' :$x_Hide (lRows[i].cells[lCellIndex]);break;
default:break;
return;
</script>
If your table contained the EMP column you could hide or show with
    cellColumn('EMP', 'SHOW');
    cellColumn('EMP', 'HIDE');
