Re-defining a varible

[mbs5023]

I'm working on a periodic table of elements as a project
these are the important pieces of code


var numb; <- global variable, i think

function read()
{

str = "Element - "
str += xmlObj.childNodes(numb).firstChild.text
str +="\n"
str += "Atomic Number - "
str += xmlObj.childNodes(numb).getAttribute("Atomic_Number")
str +="\n"
str += "Weight - "
str += xmlObj.childNodes(numb).getAttribute("Weight")
str +="\n"
str += "Type - "
str += xmlObj.childNodes(numb).getAttribute("Type")
alert(str);
}

</script>
</head>



<TD ALIGN=center><span style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: underline";
var numb = 1; onclick="read()">
H
</span> </TD>

this site only works in IE

I'm attempting to re-define the variable numb to some number, something from 1-150

<TD ALIGN=center><span style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: underline"; onclick="numb=1; read();">H</span> </TD>
