      @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

        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
        	    var tFooter = document.createElement('tfoot');
        	    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 {

        	    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";

        		bodyTR.className = "tr-body";
        		bodyTR.id = "birthday-tr-body";

        		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");
        		bodyAgeSpan.className = "age-span";
        		bodyAgeSpan.id = "birthday-age-span";
        		bodyAgeSpan.innerHTML = "&nbsp;&nbsp;46";
        		bodyTD.appendChild(bodyAgeSpan);
        */		
        
        		bodyTR.appendChild(bodyTDimage);
        		bodyTR.appendChild(bodyTD);
        		tBody.appendChild(bodyTR);
        		wrapper.appendChild(tBody);
        	    }
        	
        	    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

            @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

                the tbody section:

                any < must have a space after it to display on the forum… no way to escape them yet…

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

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

                        @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

                              if i do this :

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

                              it looks like:
                              image

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

                                @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

                                  but the other cell (name plus age) works, WHY ?

                                      no i don’t override the general td-class, cause i use:
                                      .modulname .classname
                                      {
                                      font: 16px;
                                      …
                                      }

                                        @Perlchamp but you SET the ONLY classname to be yours… classame=
                                        wipes out what was there

                                        you do not append yours to the list of classNames already assigned className +=
