Using javascript to change the "Overall Result" cell in WAD

Question

Hi experts,
I am trying to use javascript to change the text of the "Overall Result" cell in my web template using BI 7.0. I am not familiar with javascript, but I this is what I have done so far.
I dragged the web item "Script" into my web template and I inserted the following code:
function change_overall_result_to_average() {
var cell = document.getElementsByTagName("TD");
var cellText;
for (i = 0; i < cell.length; i++)
      cellText = cell<i>.innerText;
           if (cellText == "Overall Result")
                 cell<i>.innerText = "Average";               
In the XHTML view I am using added the onload function to start the javascript every time the web template is loaded. The code works fine when the web template is first loaded and the cell text is changed to "Average". However, if I navigate in my web template, the javascript function is not triggered, and the cell is therefore changed back to "Overall Result". For example, this happens when I pick another selection from one of my dropdown boxes, such as changing the selection from year 2008 to year 2007.
I don't really know how to solve this problem in an easy way, and the current solution is not good enough. I hope one of you guys can suggest an easy way of fixing this:-)
Best Regards,
Morten

Woodstock apparently renders some Javascript/DOM with some homegrown widget framework which on its turn renders the HTML DOM tree instead of plain vanilla HTML. Correct me if I'm wrong, to confirm this, just view the generated HTML source of the page.
After some Googling I found out that you need getProps() and setProps() to get and set element attributes respectively.

If you stucks with this, I recommend you to post this question at a forum or mailinglist devoted to Woodstock, e.g at their own homepage at dev.java.net or the Netbeans forum at nabble.com. You're here at a Sun JSF forum, not at a Woodstock forum.
