read csv-data and put it in an array

@Perlchamp i usually don’t use it for wrapper, but yes… the routine would have to check and not set if parent null, same for id

[Perlchamp]

doesn’t work (black screen) yet, BUT:

1. the classes set in “” ?
2. no use of appendchild ?
3. the wrapper set in “” ?

i did :

1. no
2. correct
3. no

question:
get i problems with this.create… because of “var self = this” ?

my code (only table):

	    // create table
	    var wrapper = this.createEl('table', "birthday-table", table , 0)
	    //var wrapper = document.createElement("table");
	    //wrapper.className = 'table';

@Perlchamp all except parent in quotes

tables parent is wrapper, wrappers parent is null/0

[Perlchamp]

wrapper in quotes , too ?

[sdetweil]

@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)) {

@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 )
	    var headerTR = this.createEl('tr', "birthday-tr-head", "tr-head" , tHeader)
	    var headerTH = this.createEl('th', "birthday-th-head", "th-head" , headerTR)

[Perlchamp]

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);
	return el;
    },

    getDom: function() {
	var self = this;
	var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
		
	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 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" , wrapper)
