assigning ID to nodes

Hi,
    Having a DOM tree, what can be the easiest way of assigning a unique ID attribute to each node? What if I want to assign to each node its height as well?
 
Regards,
Rahul.

To bind non-XML data to arbitrary nodes, see the prototype "user data"
hooks.

"Height" isn't an XML concept; that depends on how the XML markup is being
interpreted.

Either way, it sounds like you want to run a tree-walk, visit every node,
compute your additional data and attach it...
