So what is the problem? That seems to be what you are doing here. You 
are not using the value of the variable elem for anything, but that's a 
different issue.

On the other hand, if this is about processing a table, as the variable 
name antalColumner suggests, you could just traverse the table row by 
row and cell by cell, without needing id attributes.
