@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:

@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

sorry sam, but my code is displayed wrong ! what in hell …

@sdetweil said in read csv-data and put it in an array:

i will shurely take this, if my current html should work. now it’s too much “risk” for me, to change it.

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp yep… and you could use divs(as row) and spans(as column) for the table, instead of table/tr/td

https://html-cleaner.com/features/replace-html-table-tags-with-divs/

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp cool thing about the routine, if u decide to use div/span under instead is to fix the routine,
no mainline code has to change

[Perlchamp]

i don’t think so. therefor i’m a little bit toooooooo retro ;-)

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp each to their own!..

[Perlchamp]

if i do this :

//bodyTDimage.className = "td-image";

it looks like:

and i ask me, WHY css is not working only for this cell !!

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp td has a class, you are overriding it…
you want that class on the text in the td, not the td itself…

table, th, tr, all have classes… you can ADD a class instead of SET a class

+= adds to
