Change id of element in DOM, IE7...

I have some javascript to rearrange a list of elements...

1) Each element (div) is initially given a unique id, the same id of
the database record the element represents.
2) User "moves" element from slot 3 to slot 6, for example (result: 3-

6, 6->5, 5->4, 4->3).

3) I copy the innerHTML of each div (3-6) into an array.
4) I set the innerHTML of each div (3-6) to now contain the
appropriate content from the array.
5) I update the id's of each div (3-6)...

Seems simple enough for me, and seems to work flawlessly in Firefox...

IE7, however, seems to forget the effects of step 5, so on the second
"move," step 4 puts the innerHTML's in the wrong slots...grrrrrr...any
ideas?
