[Laszlo-user] Stupid question - call ID dynamically

[Michaela Merz]

I am trying to hide a videoview. For whatever reason, it won't work with
name, only with id.

Now suppose I have

<videoview id="foo" [..] />

var bar = "foo";

Javascript:

var ix = document.getElementById(bar);
ix.doSomething();

OL:

bar.setAttribute("visible","0"); -> Failed

How am able able to access 'setAttribute' when the id of the element is
within a variable?

Thanks.
