Using The Dom To Dynamically Build A Table With Hyperlinks
Jul 23, 2005
I am just starting to use the DOM to do some more advanced
javascripting so please be patient with my question if it is an
ignorant question.
I would like to use the DOM to dynamically create an html table via
javascript. While that table is being dynamically created in a
javascript function I would like to dynamically insert text and a
hyperlink with an image into each cell.
I got pretty far on my own. I was able to dynamically create a table
and insert a string into each cell. However, I was not able to use
the DOM to insert a hyperlink into each cell. I tried adding it as a
new text node and got the text of a link rather then a link. I then
tried adding and setting an anchor element but I got nothing. Code:

I'm trying to dynamically build a table based on a checkbox being checked in the first td of every tr:
var tableID;
var isChecked;
var tableImportBuild;
function importData(id) {
[Code].....
I should note that isChecked points to a checkbox inside a table cell. I'm trying to clone the entire row the checked checkbox is in. If I alert $(tableImportBuild).html() from within the each loop I do get the result I was expecting but for some reason I don't have access to that variable once outside the loop.

I've got this XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Menu>
<Section>
<Title>Product Information</Title>
<Topic url="howto.html">How to use This Product</Topic>
<Topic url="product.html">Product Overview</Topic>
<Topic url="sysreq.html">System Requirements</Topic>
</Section>
.....
</Menu>
There's more data than that but for brevity that's the way it's constructed and repeats with several Titles and Topics. Here's the JS I'm using to build a dynamic menu. The goal is to pick up the data and build an Accordion menu out of it:
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
xhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); //create ajax var
} else {
xhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); //IE
} xhttp.open("GET","menu.xml",false);
xhttp.send("");
xmlDoc=xhttp.responseXML;
document.write("<div class='acc'>");
var x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Section");
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++) {
document.write("<dt>");
document.write("<a href='#'>" + x[i].getElementsByTagName("Title")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + "</a></dt>");
document.write("<dd><ul>");
var y=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Topic")[0].childNodes[0];
for (foo=0;foo<x.length;foo++){
document.write("<li class='acc_item'><a href='#'>" + x[i].getElementsByTagName("Topic")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + "</a></li>");
} document.write("</ul></dd>");
} document.write("</div>");
It creates the menu correctly... to a point. It has the correct styling, the accordion works perfectly, it has the correct Titles in the correct places, but when I "expand" one of the Titles it lists the first topic only, and lists it 5 times (the same amount of Titles I have). It then repeats this for every section. Example:
Product Information
How to Use This Product
How to Use This Product
How to Use This Product
How to Use This Product
How to Use This Product
I'm not very confident in the syntax, or what it is exactly doing.

I have a page and there is a 3rd party response that comes in that I have to key off of. IF the third party response exists, then I need to build the iframe and populate it with a src and attributes (height/width) etc...
So basically, the flow is like this..
page loads
callback to 3rd party.
--> is third party connected = yes --> build iframe (in parent page)
---> is third party connected = no --> do nothing

I am looking for code samples or websites that show me how to build a table that can split into multiple pages if there are more than certain rows. I am using AJAX to load the data into the table. But if the websites or code samples do not do AJAX, it's fine too because I maybe able to modify it to work with AJAX.

I am having trouble writing this javascript for my work, normally I would do this in ASP or PHP, but the environment I am working with will only allow javascript for dynamic function.
The form has two different select boxes and based on your options selected for select box #1 and select box #2, the hidden input field "redirect" (which is currently empty) would then populate dynamically with the URL associated with that combination mentioned below. The hidden redirect input field (now containing dyanmically generated data) would then pass the new value via HTTP_POST to .net script that will handle the redirect processing step fed to it. code...

At this point I have been able to add the row. But what I want to do and am having trouble with is alternating the row colour to the dynamically added row element.
Sample of code I am using:
Code:
var tbody = document.getElementById('tableItems');
var row = document.createElement("tr");
var remainder = tbody.rows.length % 2;
if(remainder) {
row.setAttribute("class", "rowLightGreen");
}
var td1 = document.createElement("td");
td1.appendChild(document.createTextNode(qty));
td1.setAttribute("class","qty");
row.appendChild(td1);
tbody.appendChild(row);
One thing that puzzles me, is that even after adding a row the table my table.rows.length still = 0.
Does anyone know how I can determine the appropriate amount of rows so that I can apply the appropriate class?
Or is there just something blatantly wrong in my approach?

how I would dynamically add another table once text fields in the existing table is clicked on. So pretty much what I have is a table with 5 textboxes lined up horizontally in the first row along with couple of buttons in the second row. What I want is that once one text box is clicked, another table like the one above is created and appears below that initial table. So this is the inital table that should be replicated on each click:
<table>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" /></td>
<td><input type="text" /></td>
<td><input type="text" /></td>
<td><input type="text" /></td>
<td><input type="text" ></td>
[Code]...

I can add rows to a table dynamically. Usually triggered by a mouse click but something I am trouble with is how to get the table to a state with no rows or columns just like it has no contents. do believe I can use this codedocument.getElementById('results').tBodies[0];but I am kind of clueless where to find a complete DOM reference or a manual and don't know the attributes or properties I must use to empty (if it is even possible) a previously created table.

can a table width be set dynamically with javascript by referencing the users browser window dimensions or the users video settings? ie: if the user video is set 1280 or less, then the table width is 75%. if the video is above 1280 then the table is 800 pixels.
it may not be a good thing to do, but i like percentages on tables except with large display settings. is it too much overhead?
another thought: would it be easier to implement server side with asp/vbscript?

I'm trying to produce a page with a form on it which is formatted using a table. In the middle is a row which has search parameters in it. What I want to do is to put a drop-down on the left which defaults to "End" but if the user selects another option ("And" or "Or") then I want to insert another row immediately below (which has a drop-down on the right.....) I know I can use the onchange() event to fire off some script, but how do I insert the row into the table?

I am in the process of writing a script that will dynamically generate a table using javascript and XML. I can get all of my data to feed in with no problem but am getting hung up on a few small syntax issues. Basically I need to assign a unique id equal to [i] (instead of id="answerDiv", in bold below) so that when calling showHide() it will show/hide one specific div.
Current Table Script
Code:
//table 2
document.write("<table id='tbl2' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' border='0' style='display: none; width:236px;'>");
var x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("feature");
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++) {
document.write("<tr><td class='eventDate'>");document.write(x[i].getElementsByTagName("question")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
document.write("</td><td class='eventText'>");
document.write(x[i].getElementsByTagName("content")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
document.write('<a href="#" class="redLink triviaAnswer" onclick="showHide();">click for answer</a><br><br>
<div id="answerDiv" style="display:none">');
document.write(x[i].getElementsByTagName("answer")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
document.write('</div></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3"><div class="tabs_hr"></div></td></tr>');
} document.write("</table>");
Show/Hide Function
Code:
function showHide(){
var answer = document.getElementById('answerDiv');
if(document.getElementById('answerDiv').style.display == 'none') {
answer.style.display = "block";
} else {
answer.style.display = "none";
} }

I am building a schedule web page and before I just had it use plain static HTML and CSS to control the styling. I wrote some javascript that goes through the table's rows, then cells (double for loop), and if the cells innerHTML == "" then the style class is changed. I do have some working code, however it only works in IE. Here's a copy of the script:
<script type="text/javascript">
for (var i = 0; i < document.getElementById('table').rows.length; i ++)
for (var j = 0; j < document.getElementById('table').rows(i).cells.length; j ++)
if (document.getElementById('table').rows(i).cells(j).innerHTML == "")

ok basically i want to move two rows in a table.
for example i have the table:
1 name1 address1
2 name2 address2
3 name3 address3
4 name4 address4
and i'd like a javascript function to which i could pass a line number, a destination number, and it would then reorganize the table accordingly.
example: rebuildtable(4,2) would result in:
1 name1 address1
4 name4 address4
2 name2 address2
3 name3 address3
and rebuildtable(1,4) in:
2 name2 address2
3 name3 address3
4 name4 address4
1 name1 address1
I have tried a method using innerHTML, I seem to be able to access <tr>s' innerhtml (if i do an alert on them i can see their current status), however when i want to replace one tr with some other html it fails for some reason.

Can someone tell me how to do this if it is possible?
I have a table based web site, and I would like to dynamically change the
text that is shown in a particular cell of a table. I give the cell the
unique ID label1 so I can get a hold of it, and I can get a javascript to
display the data in an alert box (this is just to see if I can access the
text) with:
mycel = document.getElementById('label1');
myceltext = mycel.childNodes.item(0);
currenttext = myceltext.data;
alert(currenttext);
But how do I exchange the text in this cell for something else?
