Applying CSS to individual cells in a table

[ankonaskiff17]

How do you go about changing individual cells in a table? I have been messing with MMM-Gas and out of the box it was really small in comparison to other modules. This on on a standard computer monitor and not on big TV I have been poking at, off and on.

I got the cells/font below Price and Station enlarged no problem and at first I was anticipating them to scale up but when I dug around in MMM-Gas.js they are doing something that I have not seen before.
ajumpy.innerHTML = "Price"; & xjumpy.innerHTML = "Station";

@ankonaskiff17 that’s just setting the content of that tag

innerText is treated as text and never analyzed.
innerHtml says it may contain html.

@sdetweil What is “jumpy”? Is it similar to say moment.js or other similar libraries? I know I read a bunch of stuff relating to moment.js battling with the calendar module to see if I could figure out how to make the calendar module just show a date which I failed to succeed in doing.

@ankonaskiff17 those are just names of variables

var xjumpy = document.createElement(“th”);
var ajumpy = document.createElement(“th”);
var bjumpy = document.createElement(“th”);

no idea why he called them that name

so xjumpy is a th
and ajumpy is also
and bjumpy is also

I would have called them
stationColumnHeader
priceColumnHeader
distanceColumnHeader

i have this little function i use when doing the content via elements

       // create document element worker
	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) {
			var e = document.createTextNode(value)
			el.appendChild(e)
		}

		return el
	},

u can create and element, set its id, add a class, set its parent and add its value all in one stmt… reduces the size of the code u write, (but not the amount of code you execute)

from my bdlist module ,using it

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

@sdetweil Have it read MM/DD/YY, even on the day of event.
Either 6 or 7 days out from calendar event, the date swaps from MM/DD/YY to Monday at 12:00 AM. (For US Labor Day holiday, in this case)
hideTimegets me to it just showing Monday.

I thought getRelative: 0, was used to do what I want it to do, You have option of from between 0 - 48 hours with default being 6 hours it goes to relative time. It is swapping at about 6 - 7 DAYS in reality. Maybe just a coincidence but it seems like the default getRelative: 6;is 6 days, not hours, and setting it to zero has no effect.
