getElementById and multiple tags...

Lets say I have 2 or more elements with the ID "total". I am passing the index of the one I want to a function. I thought I could say:

document.getElementById('total')[index].innerText = "Whatever";

by that doesn't work. Is there a way I can do this?

Thanks

Uhm, no. ID is meant to be a unique ID.

You can crawl through the document (so to speak) and grab the element you want if you know where it is. But getElementById will have unpredictable results.
