JQuery :: Merging The Table Cells?
Feb 2, 2010
I am trying to manipulate table cells in a dynamically created table but I find it next to impossible how to do it.
The table I have has the following structrure:
--------------
| Color | Item |
|------|------|
|Blue...| Car |
|------|------|
|Blue...| Boat |
---------------
what i want to do is using javascript or jquery on the client side to convert this table to the following structure:
--------------
| Color | Item |
|------|------|
|........| Car |
|Blue...|------|
|........| Boat |
---------------
I can get up to the point to increase colspan of row1, cell 1 to 2 but this creates the following structure:
--------------
| Color | Item |
|------|------|
|.........| Car. |
|Blue |------|-------|
|........| Blue. | Boat. |
----------------------|
how to delete the extra table cell.

I wrote the following script in order to traverse an HTML table and
merge the cells that have the same value across multiple rows. For some
reason, however, it works for the first, third, and fourth columns in
my table, but in the second column, the merged cell is not aligned at
the center vertically. The cells do get merged, but the cells in the
second column are always aligned at the top. Trying cell.valign =
"middle" had no effect.
Any thoughts? Could it be because I'm not actually deleting the cells
that are to be merged with the top of each such block; instead I merely
set style.display to none for these cells.
Here's my script:
var currCell;
var totRows = T1.rows.length;
var totColumns = T1.rows[1].cells.length;
var numValues = T2.rows[0].cells.length-2;
var i,j;
var nextRowMatch = true;
var myCell;
for (i=0; i<(totColumns-numValues); ++i) {
var currRow = 1;
var j=currRow+1;
var numCellsMerge = 1;
var identical = false;
while (j<totRows) {
var currCell = T1.rows[currRow].cells[i].innerText;
var nextCell = T1.rows[j].cells[i].innerText;
if (currCell != nextCell) {
if (i>0) {
var start=(i-1);
var sameValues = 1;
while ((start >=0) && (sameValues == 1)) {
var prevColText =
T1.rows[currRow].cells[start].innerText;
var prevColNextRowText =
T1.rows[currRow+1].cells[start].innerText;
if (prevColText != prevColNextRowText) {
sameValues = 0;
} else {
start = start-1;
}
}
if (sameValues == 0) {
numCellsMerge = 1;
}
}
if (numCellsMerge 1) {
for (var k=currRow+1; k<j; ++k) {
T1.rows[k].cells[i].style.display = 'none'
}
myCell = T1.rows[currRow].cells[i];
myCell.rowSpan = numCellsMerge;
}
currRow=j;
++j;
numCellsMerge = 1;
identical = false;
} else {
++numCellsMerge;
++j;
identical = true;
}
}
if (identical) {
if (numCellsMerge 1) {
for (var x=currRow+1; x<totRows; ++x) {
T1.rows[x].cells[i].style.display = 'none'
}
myCell = T1.rows[currRow].cells[i];
myCell.rowSpan = numCellsMerge;
}
}
}

I have a table that I wrote/borrowed a function to clone a row in a table. I want the new row to be cleared of data.
$("#addrow").live("click", function() {
//clone last row to variable
var row = $('#dataTable tbody>tr:last').clone(true);
//clear text boxes
[Code]....
The code to clear the text boxes and selection boxes work great. The code to clear the text from the table cells that do not have a form element do not work at all. The .Client and .Project cells that I want to clear are populated by an ajax call and the .total cell is populated by a function that sums the values the text boxes.

I know that JQuery is a very powerful library and was just wondering if it had the following capability that I really need.
Lets say I need to insert new cells into a table row, I know how to do this basic task, but I need to insert my cells in a highly unusual way due to some of the requirements that are needed for the new cells.
I need to be able to insert cells a certain distance into the row, For example, if a row was 1000pixels wide, is there a feature in JQuery that would allow me to insert the cell 250pixels into the row and have a cell width of 50pixels and insert another cell 500pixels into the row with a cell width of 100pixels. I know how to set a cells width using JQuery, just not distance into a row.
The values wont ever be the exact same as above though because they are actually read from a database, so for example, one cell would have the following values [code]...

I'm dynamically creating an HTML table using JQuery. I'm not assigning id's to the tr or td tags in the table. The reason I'm not, is that it seems complicated, given that the table is initially loaded and then the user can add and delete rows. I'll also need to sort the table on demand.
I maintain the current row the user has clicked on as a global variable (curRow) using this...
$("#prodTable tbody tr").live('click', function() {
curRow = $(this)[0].rowIndex;
});
I want to do input validations on certain cells based on values in other cells in the row. for example, the value of cellA cannot be greater than the sum of the values of cellB-CellD. The question is, given a certain table rowindex, how can I access the cells in the row? Is this not a good approach?

See the table code below. Because this table is created by a third party application, I can't modify their code. So, I'm stuck trying to find other ways to change the table styles. I figured jQuery would be a great way to accomplish this, but I can't figure out the correct code. Can someone show me how to change all cells, or certain cells (dddefault and ddlabel) to have a border? I've gotten close, but it only affects the first cell.
<TABLE CLASS="datadisplaytable" SUMMARY="This layout table is used to present the weekly course schedule." WIDTH="80%">
<TR>
<TH CLASS="ddheader" scope="col" > </TH>
<TH CLASS="ddheader" scope="col" > Monday </TH>
[code]....

What i'm currently trying to do is find all columns associated with a table header.
For example:
<table id="thetable">
<thead>
<tr><th colspan="2">Column 1 header</th></tr>
</thead>
[Code].....
I would be really happy if when something like this would be possible:
var jqTh = $( '#thetable thead th:eq(0)' )
jqTh.getTBodyColumns( ).toggle( ); // Get all cells for first th and hide them

In my attempt to understand the workings of the code at: [URL].. I modified it a bit. My question is: What am i doing wrong with the 'testContents()' function? The rows of the table see to be added to the display, but I can not confirm that fact with the test function.

I have written a simple webpage that presents a table. A JS function
allows the viewer to click on a cell and each cell with the same
content has the background color changed to lime green. Each cell that
was previously highlighted has the background color changed back to
white. This works great with Firefox but does not work correctly with
IE. In IE, none of the previously highlighted cells has the background
color changed back to white. How can I modify the syntax so that it
will work in both browsers? Below is the JS function...

I have a query regarding the hide/show of the cells in a table.
The first column is 'Yes and No' options using combo box, 2nd option is 'input field', 3rd column is also 'Yes and No' option using combo box, and 4th option is also 'input field'.
What I want is to make a table using JAVASCRIPT, in which if i select 'No' from the first row first column, i want to hide the remaining 3 cells of the first row. Otherwise if i select 'yes' from the first row first column i want to show all the 3 other options of the first row. Also in between if I select 'No' from the first row third column i want to hide the first row fourth column cell. Selecting 'yes' from the first row third column will show the first row fourth column.
I want apply the same setting of hide and show cells into the remaining columns also.
By selecting 'no' from first column -> hide other corresponding cells of the row
by selecting 'yes' from the first column -> show other corresponding cells of the row
AND ALSO
By selecting 'no' from third column -> hide fourth cell of the corresponding/same row by selecting 'yes' from the third column -> show fourth cell of the corresponding/same row

I tried to add links to open local xml files in browser in a dynamic table cells. I tried all ways but I think I miss something. I can open them without table just by document.write(xmlfile location).
Here is my code.
function showResultsTable(searched, srchedname) {
// get the reference for the body
var mybody = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];
// creates a <table> element and a <tbody> element
mytable = document.createElement("table");
mytable.setAttribute('id', 'resulttable');
mytablebody = document.createElement("tbody");
// creating all cells
var mycurrent_cell = new Array();
for(var j = 0; j < srchedname.length; j++) {
// creates a <tr> element
mycurrent_row = document.createElement("tr");
mycurrent_cell[0] = document.createElement("td");
currenttext = document.createTextNode(j);
mycurrent_cell[0].appendChild(currenttext);
mycurrent_row.appendChild(mycurrent_cell[0]);
mycurrent_cell[1] = document.createElement("td");
link = document.createElement("a");
link.name = ""+srchedname[j]);
link.href = "C:\AAA\TestCasesList.xml";
mycurrent_cell[1].appendChild(link);
mycurrent_row.appendChild(mycurrent_cell[1]);
mycurrent_cell[2] = document.createElement("td");
currenttext = document.createTextNode(searched[j]);
mycurrent_cell[2].appendChild(currenttext);
mycurrent_row.appendChild(mycurrent_cell[2]);
// appends the row <tr> into <tbody>
mytablebody.appendChild(mycurrent_row);
}
// appends <tbody> into <table>
mytable.appendChild(mytablebody);
// appends <table> into <body>
mybody.appendChild(mytable);
// sets the border attribute of mytable to 2;
mytable.setAttribute("border", "2");
}

I'm trying to remove onchange events from <td> attributes but I can't get it working. I have tried many ways of doing this but this is the way that made most sense to me and still didn't work.This function adds a new row to the table "searchTableResults" and I'm trying to make it remove the onchange attributes on all cells from the previous row. This is sort of the same effect when adding records in Access (a row is added every time you add data in a cell in the last row)
function addSearchRow() {
var mydiv = document.getElementById('searchTableResults').getElementsByTagName('tbody')[0];
var newRow = document.createElement('tr');

I know that javascript could do this but I have no idea where to start or how to do it.
has anyone done this and can paste me some code to use?

There's a CSS code which is:
<style type="text/css">
tr.hi td, td.hi {
background-color: #ccc;
}
table.extra tr.hi td, table.extra td.hi {
color: red;
text-decoration: underline overline;
background-color: transparent;
}
</style>
1. Could anyone explain to me the naming of tr.hi td, td.hi? Why couldn't they just name it tr.hi, td.hi?
Further down the page, there's a code:
parent_row.className += ' hi'
2. Why not += ".hi"?

Baffled after ages googling.
I have a large table with table-layout:fixed.
I want to fill in every cell in one column on a button click.
IE renders table perfectly every time. Firefox fails to fill in some of the cells in the other columns, it is totally repeatable.
More info: I have tabs that switch parts of the table on and off using display:none and display:
If I switch tab and switch back manually, Firefox gets it right. Forcing tab switch in javascript has no effect.
So I am getting repeatable results, and have tried all sorts of techniques to get Firefox to render correctly (it is progessive rendering).
Has anyone come across anything like this?
Small tables appear to be rendered fine, so I guess Firefox may not be rendering on time as there are a lot of cells in each column.

I'm Stephen Martin, an undergraduate Psychology student and researcher. Although I am a self-proclaimed tech geek, the extent of my knowledge ends abruptly at any sort of coding. The paradigm: I am currently investigating the decision making strategies in a particular population (I cannot reveal too much, lest our study be scooped by competing researchers in the field). The paradigm that we use is built through a package called MouseLabWeb [URL]. MLWeb basically provides an interface for researchers to create a html/php/js/css website that presents a grid (table). A small example is shown on the aforementioned website. The javascript functions allow each participant's events to be recorded, timestamped, and written to a MySQL database. This allows the researcher to know which cells the participant viewed, in what order, for how long, and ultimately to which decision the participant came.
Additionally, the PHP/HTML creates the table, but the data within it is populated by the javascript. This is a blessing and a curse. Here is why. The problem: The javascript offered by MLWeb allows the cells to be randomized. This is necessary, because in such paradigms, counter-balancing is required, otherwise there would be order effects (e.g., people tend to automatically read from the upper left) that are not controlled for. So the order of the columns and rows are randomized, the data which is then placed into the html/php table.
For the current study, we want the cells corresponding to particular types of information to be shaded differently. For example, we'd want cells that contain bad information to be dark, cells that contain neutral info to be grey, and cells that contain good information to be white. The problem is that setting these values (style="background-color: #XXXXX) only applies to the table as created by the PHP. It only affects the position, and does not consider the information that it is filled with.
