Removing the space between cells of a grid [duplicate] - javascript

This question already has answers here:
Space between <td>. Why and how can I remove?
(7 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I want to remove the spaces between the cells so that the grid looks kind of like graph paper. There is a small space between the cells right now and I would like to remove that that.
Here is that I have now:
function generateGrid(rows, cols) {
var grid = "<table>";
for (row = 1; row <= rows; row++) {
grid += "<tr>";
for (col = 1; col <= cols; col++) {
grid += "<td></td>";
}
grid += "</tr>";
}
return grid;
}
$("#tableContainer").append(generateGrid(5, 5));
$("td").click(function() {
var index = $("td").index(this);
var row = Math.floor((index) / 5) + 1;
var col = (index % 5) + 1;
$("span").text("That was row " + row + " and col " + col);
$(this).css('background-color', 'red');
});
td {
border: 1px solid;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<span>Select a cell!</span>
<div id="tableContainer"></div>

In your CSS:
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}

table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
th, td {
padding: 0;
}

How to add class by referring to array in html table

I would like to addclass in 2nd row, by referring to array and its index.
I prepared array and all that remains to add class by referring to index.
through my work, it didn't work well.
How can I achieve them?
Thanks
let html = ''
html += '<table>';
let i = 0;
html += '<tr>';
for (let d = 0; d < 15; d++) {
i = i + 1;
html += '<td data-layer=0>' + '<div>' + i + '</div>' + '</td>'
}
html += '</tr>';
for (let w = 0; w < 1; w++) {
html += '<tr>';
for (let d = 0; d < 15; d++) {
html += '<td class=color></td>'
}

You should not have any space between the tag name and the class if both refer the same element. You can use includes() to check if the index + 1 is exists in the array or not.
Try the following way:
let html = ''
html += '<table>';
let i = 0;
html += '<tr>';
for (let d = 0; d < 15; d++) {
i = i + 1;
html += '<td data-layer=0>' + '<div>' + i + '</div>' + '</td>'
}
html += '</tr>';
for (let w = 0; w < 1; w++) {
html += '<tr>';
for (let d = 0; d < 15; d++) {
html += '<td class=color></td>'
}
html += '</tr>';
}
html += '</table>'
document.querySelector('#calendar').innerHTML = html;
const arr = [1, 2, 10, 11, 14];
$("td.color")
.filter(function() { return arr.includes($(this).index()+1); })
.addClass('red');
td {
transition-duration: 0.5s;
border: solid black 1px;
cursor: pointer;
}
div {
padding: 5px;
}
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
.color{
padding:5px;
}
.red {
background-color: red;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id=calendar></div>
You could tidy up your loops a bit by first building the indexes, and then use backquote to clean up your html template.
Note: you should be using double quotes for attributes eg class="color"
const columnCount = 15;
const columnIndexes = [...Array(columnCount).keys()]; // make array of indexes
const rowsCount = 1;
const rowIndexes = [...Array(rowsCount).keys()];
const html =
`<table>
<tr>
${columnIndexes.map(c =>
`<td data-layer="0"><div>${c + 1}</div></td>
`)}
</tr>
${rowIndexes.map(r =>
`<tr>
${columnIndexes.map(c =>
`<td class="${r % 2 === 0 ? 'red' : ''}"></td>`
)}
</tr>`
)}
</table>

Using httpRequestXML to request a xml document how would you strip out the information from the xml document using javascript

I need help with running an if and else statement that will retrieve certain amounts of entries using XMLRequest and only return 10 entries instead of 30. I would like some assistance on how to make a function that will get the next set of entries so an example would be get 5 entries the first time and then 2nd click get 10 entries and so on..

set dynamically colspan jquery

I'm setting table rows dynamically. When there are more than 4 rows, table is too big and I have to cut it.
The idea is, when there is 5th row coming, it goes into second column of previous row, so there are still 4 rows, where last row has 2 columns. And then I'm trying to set colspan="2" for the rows that have 1 col.
But the thing is it doesn't want to work. I'm stuck with that for 2 days now and i can't find any idea for it... Would really love to hear any tips from You. Thanks in advance.
I've tried also setting colspan="2" into generateTD() function - no effects so far.
var container = document.getElementById('container');
function generateTD(){
var output = '';
for(var i=1; i<7; i++){
output += '<tr>';
if(i<5){
output += '<td class="merged-col">Row#'+[i]+'</td>';
if(i>=4){
output += '<td>Row#'+[i]+'</td>';
}
}
output += '</tr>';
}
container.innerHTML = output;
}
generateTD();
$('.merged-col').attr('colspan', 2);
td{
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 4px;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table id="container"></table>
Just calculate rows and columns.
var container = document.getElementById('container');
function generateTD(){
var output = '';
for(var i=1; i<7; i++){
output += '<tr>';
if(i < 4){
output += '<td class="merged-col">Row#'+[i]+'</td>';
//if(i>=4){
// output += '<td>Row#'+[i]+'</td>';
//}
}
else{
output += '<td>Row#'+[i]+'</td>';
output += '<td>Row#'+[i]+'</td>';
}
output += '</tr>';
}
container.innerHTML = output;
}
generateTD();
$('.merged-col').attr('colspan', 2);
td{
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 4px;
}

Spliting row of table according to table data

It's making table with data 1 to 31 numbers in it. Now I want, as soon as a row is filled with seven numbers, it should automatically add a new row & insert numbers in that & it should continue till table finish. I mean first it will insert from 1 to 7, then next row should be added & data begins with 8 & after 15 a new row again started. Something like a calendar.
See the code snippet below.
var myDays = ["SUN", "MON", "TUE", "WED", "THU", "FRI", "SAT"];
var tableHeader = "";
var tableData = "";
var tableRow = "";
for (j = 1; j < 32; j++) {
tableData += "<td>" + j + "</td>";
}
document.getElementById("days").innerHTML = tableData;
#days, th, td {
border: 1px solid black;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
#days {
width: 50%;
text-align: center;
}
<table id="days"></table>
Have an outer loop for controlling the rows, and an inner loop for adding each <td> element. You can control the values of elements in the inner loop by offsetting them based on a multiple of the index of the outer loop.
Basically, if j is the index of your inner loop, and i is the index of your outer loop, then take a multiple of i (in this case i*7) and offset the start of j by that. See code example below.
var myDays = ["SUN", "MON", "TUE", "WED", "THU", "FRI", "SAT"];
var tableHeader = "";
var tableData = "";
var tableRow = "";
for (var i=0; i<32/7; i++) {
var k = i * 7;
tableData += "<tr>";
for (var j = 1 + k; j <= 7 + k; j++) {
if (j > 31) break;
tableData += "<td>" + j + "</td>";
}
tableData += "</tr>";
}
document.getElementById("days").innerHTML = tableData;
#days, th, td {
border: 1px solid black;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
#days {
width: 50%;
text-align: center;
}
<table id="days"></table>
You can try this answer
counter=0;
tableData+='<tr>';
for(j=1; j<32; j++){
if(counter==7)
{
tableData+='</tr>';
counter=0;
}
tableData+= "<td>" + j + "</td>";
++counter;
}

Create table using Javascript

I have a JavaScript function which creates a table with 3 rows 2 cells.
Could anybody tell me how I can create the table below using my function (I need to do this for my situation)?
Here is my javascript and html code given below:
function tableCreate() {
//body reference
var body = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];
// create elements <table> and a <tbody>
var tbl = document.createElement("table");
var tblBody = document.createElement("tbody");
// cells creation
for (var j = 0; j <= 2; j++) {
// table row creation
var row = document.createElement("tr");
for (var i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
// create element <td> and text node
//Make text node the contents of <td> element
// put <td> at end of the table row
var cell = document.createElement("td");
var cellText = document.createTextNode("cell is row " + j + ", column " + i);
cell.appendChild(cellText);
row.appendChild(cell);
}
//row added to end of table body
tblBody.appendChild(row);
}
// append the <tbody> inside the <table>
tbl.appendChild(tblBody);
// put <table> in the <body>
body.appendChild(tbl);
// tbl border attribute to
tbl.setAttribute("border", "2");
}
<table width="100%" border="1">
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td rowspan="2"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
Slightly shorter code using insertRow and insertCell:
function tableCreate() {
const body = document.body,
tbl = document.createElement('table');
tbl.style.width = '100px';
tbl.style.border = '1px solid black';
for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
const tr = tbl.insertRow();
for (let j = 0; j < 2; j++) {
if (i === 2 && j === 1) {
break;
} else {
const td = tr.insertCell();
td.appendChild(document.createTextNode(`Cell I${i}/J${j}`));
td.style.border = '1px solid black';
if (i === 1 && j === 1) {
td.setAttribute('rowSpan', '2');
}
}
}
}
body.appendChild(tbl);
}
tableCreate();
Also, this doesn't use some "bad practices", such as setting a border attribute instead of using CSS, and it accesses the body through document.body instead of document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
This should work (from a few alterations to your code above).
function tableCreate() {
var body = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
var tbl = document.createElement('table');
tbl.style.width = '100%';
tbl.setAttribute('border', '1');
var tbdy = document.createElement('tbody');
for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
var tr = document.createElement('tr');
for (var j = 0; j < 2; j++) {
if (i == 2 && j == 1) {
break
} else {
var td = document.createElement('td');
td.appendChild(document.createTextNode('\u0020'))
i == 1 && j == 1 ? td.setAttribute('rowSpan', '2') : null;
tr.appendChild(td)
}
}
tbdy.appendChild(tr);
}
tbl.appendChild(tbdy);
body.appendChild(tbl)
}
tableCreate();
function addTable() {
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 < 3; i++) {
var tr = document.createElement('TR');
tableBody.appendChild(tr);
for (var j = 0; j < 4; j++) {
var td = document.createElement('TD');
td.width = '75';
td.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Cell " + i + "," + j));
tr.appendChild(td);
}
}
myTableDiv.appendChild(table);
}
addTable();
<div id="myDynamicTable"></div>
Here is the latest method using the .map function in javascript.
You create a table in html and then insert body with javascript.
const data = [{Name:'Sydney', Day: 'Monday', Time: '10:00AM'},{Name:'New York', Day: 'Monday',Time: '11:00AM'},]; // any json data or array of objects
const tableData = data.map(value => {
return (
`<tr>
<td>${value.Name}</td>
<td>${value.Day}</td>
<td>${value.Time}</td>
</tr>`
);
}).join('');
const tableBody = document.querySelector("#tableBody");
tableBody.innerHTML = tableData;
<table border="2">
<thead class="thead-dark">
<tr>
<th scope="col">Tour</th>
<th scope="col">Day</th>
<th scope="col">Time</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="tableBody">
</tbody>
</table>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

var student;
for (var j = 0; j < 10; j++) {
student = {
name: "Name" + j,
rank: "Rank" + j,
stuclass: "Class" + j,
};
var table = document.getElementById("myTable");
var row = table.insertRow(j);
var cell1 = row.insertCell(0);
var cell2 = row.insertCell(1);
var cell3 = row.insertCell(2);
cell1.innerHTML = student.name,
cell2.innerHTML = student.rank,
cell3.innerHTML = student.stuclass;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
This solution will be perfect when you want rows and columns dynamic. You can accept rows and columns as arguments.
function tableCreate(row, col){
let body = document.body;
let tbl = document.createElement('table');
tbl.style.width = '200px';
tbl.style.border = '1px solid black';
for(let i = 0; i < row; i++){
let tr = tbl.insertRow();
for(let j = 0; j < col; j++){
let td = tr.insertCell();
td.appendChild(document.createTextNode(`${i},${j}` ));
td.style.border = '1px solid black';
}
}
body.appendChild(tbl);
}
tableCreate(4,4);
Output -

Might not solve the problem described in this particular question, but might be useful to people looking to create tables out of array of objects:
function createTable(objectArray, fields, fieldTitles) {
let body = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
let tbl = document.createElement('table');
let thead = document.createElement('thead');
let thr = document.createElement('tr');
fieldTitles.forEach((fieldTitle) => {
let th = document.createElement('th');
th.appendChild(document.createTextNode(fieldTitle));
thr.appendChild(th);
});
thead.appendChild(thr);
tbl.appendChild(thead);
let tbdy = document.createElement('tbody');
let tr = document.createElement('tr');
objectArray.forEach((object) => {
let tr = document.createElement('tr');
fields.forEach((field) => {
var td = document.createElement('td');
td.appendChild(document.createTextNode(object[field]));
tr.appendChild(td);
});
tbdy.appendChild(tr);
});
tbl.appendChild(tbdy);
body.appendChild(tbl)
return tbl;
}
createTable([
{name: 'Banana', price: '3.04'},
{name: 'Orange', price: '2.56'},
{name: 'Apple', price: '1.45'}
],
['name', 'price'], ['Name', 'Price']);
I hope you find this helpful.

I wrote a version that can parse through a list of objects dynamically to create the table as a string. I split it into three functions for writing the header columns, the body rows, and stitching it all together. I exported as a string for use on a server. My code uses template strings to keep things elegant.
If you want to add styling (like bootstrap), that can be done by adding more html to HEAD_PREFIX and HEAD_SUFFIX.
// helper functions
const TABLE_PREFIX = '<div><table class="tg">';
const TABLE_SUFFIX = '</table></div>';
const TABLE_HEAD_PREFIX = '<thead><tr>';
const TABLE_HEAD_SUFFIX = '</tr></thead>';
const TABLE_BODY_PREFIX = '<tbody><tr>';
const TABLE_BODY_SUFFIX = '</tr></tbody>';
function generateTableHead(cols) {
return `
${TABLE_HEAD_PREFIX}
<td>#</td>
${cols.map((col) => `<td>${col}</td>`).join('')}
${TABLE_HEAD_SUFFIX}`;
}
function generateTableBody(cols, data) {
return `
${TABLE_BODY_PREFIX}
${data.map((object, index) => `
<tr><td>${index}</td>
${cols.map((col) => `<td>${object[col]}</td>`).join('')}
</tr>`).join('')}
${TABLE_BODY_SUFFIX}`;
}
/**
* generate an html table from an array of objects with the same values
*
* #param {array<string>} cols array of object columns used in order of columns on table
* #param {array<object>} data array of objects containing data in a single depth
*/
function generateTable(data, defaultCols = false) {
let cols = defaultCols;
if (!cols) cols = Object.keys(data[0]); // auto generate columns if not defined
return `
${TABLE_PREFIX}
${generateTableHead(cols)}
${generateTableBody(cols, data)}
${TABLE_SUFFIX}`;
}
Here's an example use:
const mountains = [
{ height: 200, name: "Mt. Mountain" },
{ height: 323, name: "Old Broken Top"},
]
const htmlTableString = generateTable(mountains );
var btn = document.createElement('button');
btn.innerHTML = "Create Table";
document.body.appendChild(btn);
btn.addEventListener("click", createTable, true);
function createTable(){
var div = document.createElement('div');
div.setAttribute("id", "tbl");
document.body.appendChild(div)
document.getElementById("tbl").innerHTML = "<table border = '1'>" +
'<tr>' +
'<th>Header 1</th>' +
'<th>Header 2</th> ' +
'<th>Header 3</th>' +
'</tr>' +
'<tr>' +
'<td>Data 1</td>' +
'<td>Data 2</td>' +
'<td>Data 3</td>' +
'</tr>' +
'<tr>' +
'<td>Data 1</td>' +
'<td>Data 2</td>' +
'<td>Data 3</td>' +
'</tr>' +
'<tr>' +
'<td>Data 1</td>' +
'<td>Data 2</td>' +
'<td>Data 3</td>' +
'</tr>'
};
var div = document.createElement('div');
div.setAttribute("id", "tbl");
document.body.appendChild(div)
document.getElementById("tbl").innerHTML = "<table border = '1'>" +
'<tr>' +
'<th>Header 1</th>' +
'<th>Header 2</th> ' +
'<th>Header 3</th>' +
'</tr>' +
'<tr>' +
'<td>Data 1</td>' +
'<td>Data 2</td>' +
'<td>Data 3</td>' +
'</tr>' +
'<tr>' +
'<td>Data 1</td>' +
'<td>Data 2</td>' +
'<td>Data 3</td>' +
'</tr>' +
'<tr>' +
'<td>Data 1</td>' +
'<td>Data 2</td>' +
'<td>Data 3</td>' +
'</tr>'
Here is an example of drawing a table using raphael.js.
We can draw tables directly to the canvas of the browser using Raphael.js
Raphael.js is a javascript library designed specifically for artists and graphic designers.

<script>
paper = new Raphael(0,0,500,500);// width:500px, height:500px
var x = 100;
var y = 50;
var height = 50
var width = 100;
WriteTableRow(x,y,width*2,height,paper,"TOP Title");// draw a table header as merged cell
y= y+height;
WriteTableRow(x,y,width,height,paper,"Score,Player");// draw table header as individual cells
y= y+height;
for (i=1;i<=4;i++)
{
var k;
k = Math.floor(Math.random() * (10 + 1 - 5) + 5);//prepare table contents as random data
WriteTableRow(x,y,width,height,paper,i+","+ k + "");// draw a row
y= y+height;
}
function WriteTableRow(x,y,width,height,paper,TDdata)
{ // width:cell width, height:cell height, paper: canvas, TDdata: texts for a row. Separated each cell content with a comma.
var TD = TDdata.split(",");
for (j=0;j<TD.length;j++)
{
var rect = paper.rect(x,y,width,height).attr({"fill":"white","stroke":"red"});// draw outline
paper.text(x+width/2, y+height/2, TD[j]) ;// draw cell text
x = x + width;
}
}
</script>

So you create the table head according to the number of columns you want and the rows will depend on the number you specified in the iteration..... i.e this one will be 3.
