Delete Specific Row Based on ID

[Signit]

I've written a piece function that is supposed to delete a particular row in table based on the id of that row. For some reason beyond my comprehension the below code deletes multiple rows from my table but not the one I am interested in deleting. Why is this? What am I missing?

function deleteRows(obj)
{
  for (var i = 0; i <= obj.rows.length; i++)
  {
    if (obj.rows[i].getAttribute("id") == "acc_date");
      obj.deleteRow(i);
  }
}

Okay, so moments after I posted this I found my problem and I am blushing. Though it does lead me to another question. Why does the below code throw an "Expected Identifier" error?

deleteRows(document.getElementById("entire_page"), "acc_date");

function deleteRows(obj)
{
  for (var i = 0; i < obj.rows.length; i++)
  {
    if (obj.rows[i].getAttribute("id") == "doe_acc_date")
      obj.deleteRow(i);
  }
}

My copy and paste skills leave something to be desired today, please use the below code:

function deleteRows(obj, var rowToDelete)
{
  for (var i = 0; i < obj.rows.length; i++)
  {
    if (obj.rows[i].getAttribute("id") == rowToDelete)
      obj.deleteRow(i);
  }
}
