@Perlchamp need to specify width of td

By default, a browser will adjust table columns to fit the contents of the table. However, if you want to control the width of each column, you can do so by adjusting the width of each or of a single row.

if you had th, then you could see the length of the names as they go by, and then adjust the th width before sending the content to MM…

[Perlchamp]

width:27px; is placed in css
but this:

//bodyTDimage.id = "birthday-td-image";

works. i really have to write html-text in the module-file ?

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp eh? commenting out a line?

have a th is the same as what you have document.createElement(“th”)

[Perlchamp]

wrong line, moment:

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

this works, but unformatted, of course

i don’t like things like:
innerHTLM = tags, tags, tags …

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp eh? where is that?

@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…
