[assign ID attribute dynamically to the html tags]

That is as impossible as your posting "style".

Why would that be impossible ?

<html>
<body>
<p>content</p>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

The `language' attribute is deprecated long since, and your markup
is not Valid; especially, the missing DOCTYPE declaration triggers
Quirks Mode, which can change DOM behavior.

document.getElementsByTagName('p')[0].setAttribute('id','myID');
alert(document.getElementById('myID').innerHTML);
</script>
</body>
</html>

That is setting the attribute, not changing it. Note the Subject header.
Furthermore:

- This requires other DOM methods that may not be available.

- It is known to be not possible for some elements in some DOMs
(IIRC there are issues in the IE DOM).

- setAttribute() implementations are known to be buggy.

Hmmmm, that Asperger-smell in the morning :-)
