read csv-data and put it in an array

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp well, part of the problem is the ID of the cells is the same for each row… removing id and class (which I don’t have)
works

cells don’t NEED ids… but if u wanted, you would have to create a counter to append each loop to make the ids unique

new createEl which does text value too

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

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

	},

and table header

	createTableHeader: function(parent, className, columnlabels){

		var header = document.createElement("tr")
		for(columnName of columnlabels){
			this.createEl("th",null,className, header,columnName)
		}
		parent.appendChild(header)
		return header
	},

getdom()

	// this is the major worker of the module, it provides the displayable content for this module
	getDom: function() {
		var wrapper = this.createEl("div",null,null,null);

		if(Object.keys(this.active_birthdays).length>0){

			// create your table  here
			var table = this.createEl("table", "birthday-table", null, wrapper );

			// table header here, array of column names
			var table_header=this.createTableHeader(table, null, ["date","Name","age"])

		    // create TBODY section with day names
		    var tBody = this.createEl("tBody", "birthday-tbody", null, table );	

			for(var birthday of Object.keys(this.active_birthdays)){
				for(var person of this.active_birthdays[birthday]){
			
				    var bodyTR = this.createEl("tr", null,null, tBody);

					    var bodyTDimage = this.createEl("td",null, null, bodyTR , birthday );

					    var bodyTD = this.createEl("td", null, null, bodyTR , person.name);
					     
						var ageTD = this.createEl("td",null, null, bodyTR  ,person.age );

				}
			}
		}
// create your table footer here	

		// pass the created content back to MM to add to DOM.
		return wrapper;
	}

ok, i’ve seen, the header function … uff, all is placed right (code).
i don’t see the day of birth. the first cell is still the problem :-(

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp with my code I see
I removed class
date Name age
12.05 Sam 69
02.05 Frank 81
02.05 Sue 81
05.05 mary 65
10.05 eee EEEEE 51
16.05 fff FFFFF 8
16.05 ggg GGGGG 32
27.05 hhh HHHHH 18

[Perlchamp]

i have a calendar OVER the birthdaylist, so i DON#T need the month in the first cell. the FIRST cell has a calendar sheet as background-image, THOUGH i DON’T need the leading null of the day of birth. should be:
5 Sam 69
Mary 12
8 Frank 81
15 Sue 81
…
did you seen the images i did send ?
and, of course, people with the same day of birth without day of birth

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp no images email or text
(cannot do fixed font here)

date	Name	age
12	Sam	69
2	Frank	81
        Sue	81
5	mary	65
10	eee EEEEE	51
16	fff FFFFF	8
        ggg GGGGG	32
27	hhh HHHHH	18

@Perlchamp the short birthday

bd =(birthday.startsWith(“0”)? birthday.substring(1): birthday).split(‘.’)[0]

if the birthday starts with ‘0’ then get the rest skipping the 0

01.05 -> 1.05
then split the result on ‘.’
yields array of [ 1, 05]
and take the first element in the array [0] = 1
if it doesn’t start with 0,use the whole string, split and take the 1st element of array
10.05 = [10,05] = 10

[Perlchamp]

sorry, i’m still sorting my code …uff

[Perlchamp]

back again. WITHOUT a class reference (third element = null) i see the days.
WITH class-reference (“TD-IMAGE”) i see NO days.
the rest is working very good, thank you for that :-)

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp what does TD-IMAGE class def look like?
