Insert a row at a specific index and reorder other rows.

Hello I have to insert a row at a specific position. After insert, I would have to reorder the rows and change the ids of elements inside the rows.

The problem I am having is, I am able to change ids for all the elements but for the element just successive to it.

<table id='tab'>
<tr id='tabRow_1' ><td>1</td><td>one</td><td><input type='button' name='but' onclick="getRowId(this.parentNode.parentNode.id)"/></td></tr>
<tr id='tabRow_2' ><td>2</td><td>two</td><td><input type='button' name='but' onclick="getRowId(this.parentNode.parentNode.id)"/></td></tr>
<tr id='tabRow_3' ><td>3</td><td>three</td><td><input type='button' name='but' onclick="getRowId(this.parentNode.parentNode.id)"/></td></tr>
<tr id='tabRow_4' ><td>3</td><td>three</td><td><input type='button' name='but' onclick="getRowId(this.parentNode.parentNode.id)"/></td></tr>
</table>

So if I add a new row at position 2, I would have a table that would look similar to this

<table id='tab'>
<tr id='tabRow_1' ><td>1</td><td>one</td><td><input type='button' name='but' onclick="getRowId(this.parentNode.parentNode.id)"/></td></tr>
<tr id='tabRow_2' ><td>2</td><td>two</td><td><input type='button' name='but' onclick="getRowId(this.parentNode.parentNode.id)"/></td></tr>
<tr id='tabRow_2' ><td>2</td><td>two</td><td><input type='button' name='but' onclick="getRowId(this.parentNode.parentNode.id)"/></td></tr>
<tr id='tabRow_3' ><td>3</td><td>three</td><td><input type='button' name='but' onclick="getRowId(this.parentNode.parentNode.id)"/></td></tr>
<tr id='tabRow_4' ><td>3</td><td>three</td><td><input type='button' name='but' onclick="getRowId(this.parentNode.parentNode.id)"/></td></tr>
</table>

To tackle this problem, I am passing in the row number where the row is added, i.e vtLineNum, and am passing all the rows in the table. Matching them to where the row number is greater than line num, the change would take place.

var elems = document.getElementById("tab"+vtName).rows;
for(var i in elems)
{
if(elems[i].id !==null && elems[i].id !=='' && elems[i].id !=null)
{
v = explodeArray(elems[i].id,'_');
if(Number(v[1])>=vtLineNum)
{
getRowDataAdd(vtName,vtLineNum,elems[i].id);
lineNum = Number(v[1])+ 1;
elems[i].id = v[0] +'_'+ lineNum;
rowStyle = (lineNum % 2 == 1) ? "on" : "off";
elems[i].className = "row_" + rowStyle;
}
}
}

Everything is working fine now, but I would have two identical rows where row insertion occurs, the reason being I am making sure only rows greater than the number passed would only be changed. So I have a table looking like this.

<table id='tab'>
<tr id='tabRow_1' ><td>1</td><td>one</td><td><input type='button' name='but' onclick="getRowId(this.parentNode.parentNode.id)"/></td></tr>
<tr id='tabRow_2' ><td>2</td><td>two</td><td><input type='button' name='but' onclick="getRowId(this.parentNode.parentNode.id)"/></td></tr>
<tr id='tabRow_2' ><td>2</td><td>two</td><td><input type='button' name='but' onclick="getRowId(this.parentNode.parentNode.id)"/></td></tr>
<tr id='tabRow_4' ><td>3</td><td>three</td><td><input type='button' name='but' onclick="getRowId(this.parentNode.parentNode.id)"/></td></tr>
<tr id='tabRow_5' ><td>3</td><td>three</td><td><input type='button' name='but' onclick="getRowId(this.parentNode.parentNode.id)"/></td></tr>
</table>

How do I work in reordering, specifically keeping in mind this successive row issue??
