I want to type text inside the cell but I tried to set attribute with td but it doesn't work. Please help me how can I set attribute to type text in the cell. Thank you for your help!
function addTable() {
rn = window.prompt("Input number of rows", 1);
cn = window.prompt("Input number of columns",1);
var myTableDiv = document.getElementById("myDynamicTable");
var table = document.createElement('TABLE');
table.border = '1';
var tableBody = document.createElement('TBODY');
table.appendChild(tableBody);
for (var i = 0; i < parseInt(rn, 10); i++) {
var tr = document.createElement('TR');
tableBody.appendChild(tr);
for (var j = 0; j < parseInt(cn, 10); j++) {
var td = document.createElement('TD');
td.width = '75';
td.appendChild(document.createTextNode("text"));
tr.appendChild(td);
}
}
myTableDiv.appendChild(table);
}
addTable();
if you want to operate on tables, use corrects javascript instructions ...
const
DynTb = document.getElementById('myDynamicTable')
rn = +window.prompt("Input number of rows", 1)
, cn = +window.prompt("Input number of columns", 1)
;
if( isNaN(rn) || isNaN(cn))
throw 'bad integer input value (s)'
const myTable = addTable(DynTb, rn, cn )
function addTable(tDiv, rn, cn)
{
let
tab = tDiv.appendChild( document.createElement('table') )
, tBy = tab.createTBody()
;
for(let r=0;r<rn;++r)
{
let row = tBy.insertRow()
for(let c=0;c<cn;++c)
{
row.insertCell().innerHTML =
`<input type="text" placeHolder="${r}-${c}">`
} }
return tab
}
table {
border-collapse : collapse;
margin : 2em 1em;
}
td {
padding : .2em;
border : 1px solid darkblue;
}
input {
width : 5em;
}
<div id="myDynamicTable"></div>
You need to create an input element and then append that to td:
rn = window.prompt("Input number of rows", 1);
cn = window.prompt("Input number of columns", 1);
var myTableDiv = document.getElementById("myDynamicTable");
var table = document.createElement('TABLE');
table.border = '1';
var tableBody = document.createElement('TBODY');
table.appendChild(tableBody);
for (var i = 0; i < parseInt(rn, 10); i++) {
var tr = document.createElement('TR');
tableBody.appendChild(tr);
for (var j = 0; j < parseInt(cn, 10); j++) {
var td = document.createElement('TD');
td.width = '75';
var input = document.createElement('input');
input.setAttribute('type', 'text');
input.setAttribute('value', 'text');
td.appendChild(input);
tr.appendChild(td);
}
}
myTableDiv.appendChild(table);
<div id="myDynamicTable">
</div>
You can use contenteditable attribute: td.contenteditable = 'true';.
Depending on how you want to use this value, you might also insert an input element.
