@Perlchamp fiddling with it here… technically you are supposed to have a text element as a child of the td

< table>
   < tr>
      < td> value < /td>

var n = document.createTextNode(value);

sdetweil

@Perlchamp


			    var bodyTR = document.createElement("tr");
			   // bodyTR.className = "tr-body";
			    bodyTR.id = "birthday-tr-body";
			    tBody.appendChild(bodyTR);		    

			    var bodyTDimage = document.createElement("td");
			   // bodyTDimage.className = "td-image";
			    bodyTDimage.id = "birthday-td-image";
			   // bodyTDimage.innerHTML = birthday;
			    bodyTR.appendChild(bodyTDimage);
			    bodyTDimage.appendChild(document.createTextNode(birthday));

			    var bodyTD = document.createElement("td");
			   // bodyTD.className = "td-body";
			    bodyTD.id = "birthday-td-body";
			   // bodyTD.innerTEXT = person.name ;
				bodyTD.appendChild(document.createTextNode(person.name));
			    bodyTR.appendChild(bodyTD);		
			     

				var ageTD = document.createElement("td");
			   // bodyTD.className = "td-body";
			    ageTD.id = "birthday-td-age";
			    //ageTD.innerTEXT = person.age ;	 
			    ageTD.appendChild(document.createTextNode(person.age)); 
			    bodyTR.appendChild(ageTD);

and set the class for the text element

Perlchamp

you were too fast !!
to your information:
table needs a header (thead, tr, th) and a footer (tfoot, tr, td), and, of
course a boda (tbody, tr, td), my cose, where a put html-tags in the table and text without variable works fine.
but later, if i should dissapointed, i will try this.

sdetweil

@Perlchamp >where a put html-tags in the table

its exactly the same as writing the html

they don’t NEED a thead/tfoot, these are optional

you could create a big text string of the html < table>… < /table>
and then assign that text string to the wrapper div innerHTML.

same result…

sdetweil

@sdetweil when I had a big pile of html objects to create I wrote a little routine to hide the 4 lines per object

createEl(type, id, class, parent){
   var el = document.createElement(type)
   el.id=id
   if(class) 
     el.classname=class
   parent.addChild(el)
   return el
},

then to use

    var table= this.createEl('table', "birthday-tbody", null , wrapper)
            etc
            etc

Perlchamp

in the moment you’re too fast for me …
this code is from the test-module:

    getDom: function() {
	var wrapper = document.createElement("div");


	if ((moment() > this.midnight) || (!this.loaded)) {
	    var month = moment().month();
	    var year = moment().year();
	    var monthName = moment().format("MMMM");
	    var monthLength = moment().daysInMonth();

	    // tabelle erstellen
	    var wrapper = document.createElement("table");
	    wrapper.className = 'table';
	    wrapper.id = 'birthday-table';

	    // tabellenkopf erstellen
	    var tHeader = document.createElement("thead");
	    tHeader.className = "thead";
	    tHeader.id = "birthday-thead";

	    var headerTR = document.createElement("tr");
	    headerTR.className = "tr-head";
	    headerTR.id = "birthday-tr-head";			    

	    var headerTH = document.createElement("th");
	    headerTH.colSpan = "2";
	    headerTH.scope = "col";
	    headerTH.className = "th-head";
	    headerTH.id = "birthday-th-head";
	    headerTH.innerHTML = this.translate(this.config.title);
	    headerTR.appendChild(headerTH);
	    			
	    tHeader.appendChild(headerTR);
	    wrapper.appendChild(tHeader);
		    
	    // Create TFOOT section -- currently used for debugging only

	    tFooter.className = "tfoot";
	    tFooter.id = "birthday-tfoot";

	    var footerTR = document.createElement("tr");
	    footerTR.className = "tr-foot";
	    footerTR.id = "birthday-tr-foot";

	    var footerTD = document.createElement("td");
	    footerTD.colSpan ="2";
	    footerTD.className = "td-foot";
	    footerTD.id = "birthday-td-foot";
	    if (this.config.debugging) {
		footerTD.innerHTML = "Birthdaylist is currently in DEBUG mode!<br />Please see console log.";
	    }
	    else {
		footerTD.innerHTML = "";
	    }

	    footerTR.appendChild(footerTD);
	    tFooter.appendChild(footerTR);
	    wrapper.appendChild(tFooter);
			
	    // Create TBODY section with day names
	    var eintraege = 3;
	    for (var i=1; i<=eintraege; i++) {
		var tBody = document.createElement("tBody");
		tBody.className = "tbody";
		tBody.id = "birthday-tbody";

		var bodyTR = document.createElement("tr");
		bodyTR.className = "tr-body";
		bodyTR.id = "birthday-tr-body";

		var bodyTDimage = document.createElement("td");
		bodyTDimage.className = "td-image";
		bodyTDimage.id = "birthday-td-image";
		bodyTDimage.innerHTML = "23";

		var bodyTD = document.createElement("td");
		bodyTD.className = "td-body";
		bodyTD.id = "birthday-td-body";
		bodyTD.innerHTML = "Bettina Zimmermann&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"age-span\">46</span></br>Frank Dubiel&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"age-span\">54</span></br>Jürgen Gruse&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"age-span\">52</span>";

/*
		var bodyAgeSpan = document.createElement("span");

	    }
	
	    this.loaded = true;
	    return wrapper;
	}
		
    },

and looks like :

@Perlchamp ok, so you WANT a title, header and footer…

still no different than an actual table in all html
by using document.creatElement and appendChild() there are no close tags to create

a td is a closed thing you add text to a td…

with my little helper routine, you write exactly what you would have written in html
and can indent/outdent to match for readability

sdetweil

@Perlchamp maybe a nunjuks template , but its the same work to create the template the generate the content
the template has to have all the same stuff you are doing, including the loop part
