so for my code i have i'm trying to pass along the i variable in the for loop but when i pass it on it passes the highest i value. so when it should be one it passes along 10. i am curretnly passing along the cell6 id and splitting it up to get the i value. not really sure what to do with it. thanks for the help in advance.

function displaySearch(){
    var div = document.getElementById('table')
    var table = document.getElementById('tableSearch')
    var res = xmlhttp.responseXML
    var e = res.getElementsByTagName('element')
    for(var i = 0; i < e.length; i++){
        var splitResult = e[i].textContent.split('#')
        var course = splitResult[0]
        var num = splitResult[1]
        var tut = splitResult[2]
        var email = splitResult[3]
        var capacity = splitResult[4]
        var rowCount = table.rows.length
        var row = table.insertRow(rowCount)
        var cell1 = row.insertCell(-1)
        cell1.id = "1" + i
        cell1.innerHTML = course
        var cell2 = row.insertCell(-1)
        cell2.id = "2" + i
        cell2.innerHTML = num
        var cell3 = row.insertCell(-1)
        cell3.id = "3" + i
        cell3.innerHTML = tut
        var cell4 = row.insertCell(-1)
        cell4.id = "4" + i
        cell4.innerHTML = email
        var cell5 = row.insertCell(-1)
        cell5.id = "5" + i
        cell5.innerHTML = capacity
        var cell6 = row.insertCell(-1)
        cell6.id = "6" + i
        var reg = document.createElement('input')
        reg.type = 'button'
        reg.value = "Register"
        reg.id = i
        reg.name = i
        reg.onclick = function(){registerCourse(cell6.id)}
        var cell = "row"+i
        cell6.appendChild(reg)
    }
}
