How come this doesn't work? 1

I'm trying to create an "Expand All" button that, when clicked, will show a bunch of rows that were previously hidden. Here's the code I'm using, but it does absolutely nothing. How come?

var arrRows = document.getElementsByTagName("td");
	
for (var i=0; i < arrRows.length; i++) {
	if (arrRows[i].id.substr(0,9) == "infoOwner") {
		arrRows[i].style.display = '';
	}
}

Aren't the ROWS the ones with initial display equal to none?

Wouldn't you want to get the TR's, not the TD's?

I just tried a test, and when I gave the <tr> tags id's of infoOwner1 - infoOwner5, then ran this function with TR instead of TD it worked fine.
