@Perlchamp oh by the way TD-IMAGE color is black, on black background!
my email was in the chat message

[Perlchamp]

yes black on black, why not ? because of the mirrors lucidity … better safe than sorry ;-)

[sdetweil]

great progress. smaller more manageable code…

off to sleep

[Perlchamp]

bloody nice dreams, sam

[Perlchamp]

hi sam, for me it’s a milestone :

    // type: td, id: id of element, className: classname of element
    // parent: parent of element, value: value
    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;
    },
    
    // creates a tableheader with columnnaes
    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;
    },

    // creates a tablefooter with columns
    createTableFooter: function(parent, className, column) {
	var footer = document.createElement("tr");
	for(colContent of column) {
	    this.createEl("td", null, className, footer, colContent);
	}
	parent.appendChild(footer);
	return footer;
    },

    // 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,null);
	
	// tell MM to call and get our content
	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();
	    var now_day_month = moment().format("DD.MM");

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

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

		// create tableheader here
		var table_header = this.createTableHeader(table, null, [" "," "]);

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

		var day_month_now = moment().format("DD.MM");
		var birthdays_seen= {}
		var spacer = " ";
		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, null);

			// delete leading 0 and month
			var bd = "";
			if(birthdays_seen[birthday] == undefined) {
			    bd =(birthday.startsWith("0")? birthday.substring(1): birthday).split('.')[0];
             		    birthdays_seen[birthday] = true;
			}
			let date1 = moment(birthday,'DD.MM').valueOf();
			let date2 = moment(now_day_month,'DD.MM').valueOf();
			if (date1 < date2) {
			    var imageTD = this.createEl('td', "birthday-td-image", "TD-IMAGE_DIMMED" , bodyTR, bd);
			    var nameTD = this.createEl('td', "birthday-td-body", "TD-BODY_DIMMED" , bodyTR, person.name);
			    var spanTD = this.createEl("span", "birthday-span-body", "TD-AGE_DIMMED", nameTD, person.age);
			}
			else {
			    var imageTD = this.createEl('td', "birthday-td-image", "TD-IMAGE" , bodyTR, bd);
			    var nameTD = this.createEl('td', "birthday-td-body", "TD-BODY" , bodyTR, person.name);
			    var spanTD = this.createEl("span", "birthday-span-body", "TD-AGE", nameTD, person.age);
			}
			var spacerTR = this.createEl('tr', null, null , tBody, null);
			var spacerTD = this.createEl('td', null, "SPACER" , spacerTR, spacer);
			spacerTD.colSpan = "2";
		    }
		}

		// Create TFOOT section -- currently used for debugging only
		if (this.config.debugging) {
		    var table_footer = this.createTableFooter(tBody, null, [" "," "]);
		    //footerTD.innerHTML = "Birthdaylist is currently in DEBUG mode!<br />Please see console log.";
		}
		else {
		    var table_footer = this.createTableFooter(tBody, null, [" "," "]);
		}

	    }

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

	}
	// Dom is loaded
	this.loaded = true;

    },

the next working step:

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, null);

			// delete leading 0 and month
			var bd = "";
			if(birthdays_seen[birthday] == undefined) {
			    bd =(birthday.startsWith("0")? birthday.substring(1): birthday).split('.')[0];
             		    birthdays_seen[birthday] = true;
			}
			let entrie = moment(birthday,'DD.MM').valueOf();
			let now = moment(now_day_month,'DD.MM').valueOf();
			if (entrie < now) {
			    if(this.config.dimmEntries) {
				var imageTD = this.createEl('td', "birthday-td-image", "TD-IMAGE_DIMMED" , bodyTR, bd);
				var nameTD = this.createEl('td', "birthday-td-body", "TD-BODY_DIMMED" , bodyTR, person.name);
				var spanTD = this.createEl("span", "birthday-span-body", "TD-AGE_DIMMED", nameTD, person.age);
				var spacerTR = this.createEl('tr', null, null , tBody, null);
				var spacerTD = this.createEl('td', null, "SPACER" , spacerTR, spacer);
				spacerTD.colSpan = "2";
			    }
			    else {
			    }
			}
			else {
			    var imageTD = this.createEl('td', "birthday-td-image", "TD-IMAGE" , bodyTR, bd);
			    var nameTD = this.createEl('td', "birthday-td-body", "TD-BODY" , bodyTR, person.name);
			    var spanTD = this.createEl("span", "birthday-span-body", "TD-AGE", nameTD, person.age);
			    var spacerTR = this.createEl('tr', null, null , tBody, null);
			    var spacerTD = this.createEl('td', null, "SPACER" , spacerTR, spacer);
			    spacerTD.colSpan = "2";
			}
		    }
		}

now should be the last step:
people who are their birthday at the same day in one cell separated by < /br > … that’s (maybe) too difficult for me, but just figuring out …

@Perlchamp ok, busy at the moment… about an hour 13:30 my time

[Perlchamp]

ok, doesn’t matter. enjoy your meal with your family.

[Perlchamp]

i’m a step foward (did write two functions for smarter code) :

   // creates a tablefooter with columns
    createTableFooter: function(parent, className, column) {
	var footer = document.createElement("tr");
	for(colContent of column) {
	    this.createEl("td", null, className, footer, colContent);
	}
	parent.appendChild(footer);
	return footer;
    },
    
    // compares two dates, requires moment.js :
    // output "1"  : date1 > date2
    // output "-1" : date1 < date2
    // output "0"  : fault
    compareDate: function(now, entrie, format) {
	let date_1 = moment(now,format).valueOf();
	let date_2 = moment(entrie,format).valueOf();
	if (date_1 > date_2) {
	    return 1;
	}
	else if (date_1 < date_2) {
	    return -1;
	}
	else {
	    return 0;
	}
    }, 

the lastone is used here:

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, null);

			// delete leading 0 and month
			var bd = "";
			if(birthdays_seen[birthday] == undefined) {
			    bd =(birthday.startsWith("0")? birthday.substring(1): birthday).split('.')[0];
             		    birthdays_seen[birthday] = true;
			}

			if (this.compareDate(now,birthday,"DD.MM") === 1) {
			    if(this.config.dimmEntries) {
				var imageTD = this.createEl('td', "birthday-td-image", "TD-IMAGE_DIMMED" , bodyTR, bd);
				var nameTD = this.createEl('td', "birthday-td-body", "TD-BODY_DIMMED" , bodyTR, person.name);
				var spanTD = this.createEl("span", "birthday-span-body", "TD-AGE_DIMMED", nameTD, person.age);
				var spacerTR = this.createEl('tr', null, null , tBody, null);
				var spacerTD = this.createEl('td', null, "SPACER" , spacerTR, spacer);
				spacerTD.colSpan = "2";
			    }
			    else {
			    }
			}
			else {
			    var imageTD = this.createEl('td', "birthday-td-image", "TD-IMAGE" , bodyTR, bd);
			    var nameTD = this.createEl('td', "birthday-td-body", "TD-BODY" , bodyTR, person.name);
			    var spanTD = this.createEl("span", "birthday-span-body", "TD-AGE", nameTD, person.age);
			    var spacerTR = this.createEl('tr', null, null , tBody, null);
			    var spacerTD = this.createEl('td', null, "SPACER" , spacerTR, spacer);
			    spacerTD.colSpan = "2";
			}
		    }
		}

it works fine for me :-). for the last step (people with the same birthday in one cell, separeted via < /br >) i have momently no ideas…

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp ok, not sure how u want to present the two people with the same date
simplified code

	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 looped row section
			var tBody = this.createEl('tbody', "birthday-t-body", "tbody", table, null);		

			var birthdays_seen= {}
			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', null, "TR-BODY" ,tBody, null);	

					let now = moment().format('DD.MM').valueOf();				
					let entrie=now
				    if(this.config.dimmEntries) {				
						entrie = moment(birthday,'DD.MM').valueOf();
					}
					var bd = "";					
			    	if(birthdays_seen[birthday]==undefined){
						bd =(birthday.startsWith("0")? birthday.substring(1): birthday).split('.')[0];
						var imageTD = this.createEl('td', null, "TD-IMAGE_"+(entrie < now)?"DIMMED":'' , bodyTR, bd);						
					}	
					else{
						this.createEl('span', null , null , bodyTR,bd);
					}					

					var nameTD = this.createEl('td', null, "TD-BODY_"+(entrie < now)?"DIMMED":'' , bodyTR, person.name);
					var spanTD = this.createEl("span", null, "TD-AGE_"+(entrie < now)?"DIMMED":'', nameTD, person.age);
					var spacerTR = this.createEl('tr', null, null , tBody, null);
					var spacerTD = this.createEl('td', null, "SPACER" , spacerTR, "----");
					spacerTD.colSpan = "2";
					birthdays_seen[birthday] = true;

				}
		    }
		}
		return wrapper;
	},

maybe? but why?

we have currently two rows, 3 columns

   day       name   age
   empty  name   age

you want ?? two columns?

   row (2 cols)
     day      name + age < br>
                 name + age 
   row (3 cols)
     dayn   name   age
