read csv-data and put it in an array

@sdetweil if there is no data, then you still need to return something (empty div)

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp wrapper is a div type, no id,class or parent

[Perlchamp]

my code now does not work:

            // create table
	    var wrapper = this.createEl('table', "birthday-table", table , 0)
	    
	    // create header
	    var tHeader = this.createEl('thead', "birthday-thead", thead , "")
	    var headerTR = this.createEl('tr', "birthday-tr-head", tr-head , "tHeader")
	    var headerTH = this.createEl('th', "birthday-th-head", th-head , "headerTR")
	    headerTH.colSpan = "2";
	    headerTH.scope = "col";
	    headerTH.innerHTML = " ";
	        
	    // Create TFOOT section -- currently used for debugging only
	    var tFooter = this.createEl('tfoot', "birthday-tfood", tfoot , "")
	    var footerTR = this.createEl('tr', "birthday-tf-foot", tr-foot , "tFooter")
	    var footerTD = this.createEl('td', "birthday-td-foot", td-foot , "footerTR")
	    footerTD.colSpan ="2";
	    if (this.config.debugging) {
		footerTD.innerHTML = "Birthdaylist is currently in DEBUG mode! < br / > Please see console log.";
	    }
	    else {
		footerTD.innerHTML = "&nbsp;";
	    }

	    // create TBODY section with day names
	    var tBody = this.createEl('tBody', "birthday-tbody", tbody , "")
	    
	    for(var birthday of Object.keys(this.active_birthdays)) {
		for(var person of this.active_birthdays[birthday]) {
				
		    // create looped row section
		    var bodyTR = this.createEl('tr', "birthday-tr-body", tr-body , "tBody")
		    var bodyTDimage = this.createEl('td', "birthday-td-image", td-image , "bodyTR")
		    if (birthday.charAt(0) === "0") {
			birthday = birthday.replace("0","");
			birthday = birthday.substring(0,1);
		    }
		    bodyTDimage.innerHTML = birthday.substring(0,2);
		    var bodyTD = this.createEl('td', "birthday-td-body", td-body , "bodyTDimage")
		    bodyTD.innerHTML = person.name + "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; < span class=\"age-span\" > " + person.age + " < /span > ";

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

", thead ,

again all classes in quotes, ONLY parent NOT in quotes

 var wrapper = this.createEl('table', "birthday-table", "table" , null)
	    var tHeader = this.createEl('thead', "birthday-thead", "thead" , wrapper )

does not work for me. complete getDom and your createEl :

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

    },

	Log.log(JSON.stringify(this.active_birthdays))

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

	    // create table
	    var wrapper = this.createEl("table", "birthday-table", "table" , null)
	    
	    // create header
	    var tHeader = this.createEl('thead', "birthday-thead", "thead" , wrapper)
	    
	    var headerTR = this.createEl('tr', "birthday-tr-head", "tr-head" , tHeader)
	    var headerTH = this.createEl('th', "birthday-th-head", "th-head" , headerTR)
	    headerTH.colSpan = "2";
	    headerTH.scope = "col";
	    headerTH.innerHTML = " ";
	        
	    // Create TFOOT section -- currently used for debugging only
	    var tFooter = this.createEl('tfoot', "birthday-tfood", "tfoot" , wrapper)

	    var footerTD = this.createEl('td', "birthday-td-foot", "td-foot" , footerTR)
	    footerTD.colSpan ="2";
	    if (this.config.debugging) {
		footerTD.innerHTML = "Birthdaylist is currently in DEBUG mode!<br />Please see console log.";
	    }
	    else {
		footerTD.innerHTML = "&nbsp;";
	    }

	    // create TBODY section with day names

what the html fragments with the < and space, they don’t work if there is a space there, need it for the forum, but won’t actually work

[sdetweil]

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

  headerTH.innerHTML = " ";

all things are empty when created, so don’t need this

fixed createEl routine

createEl : function (type, id, className, parent){

	var el= document.createElement(type)
	if(id)
		el.id=id
	if(className)
		el.className=className
	if(parent)
		parent.appendChild(el)
	return el

},
