Populating HTML table with Google Sheet data (rows & columns)

Having issues with what it might be a rather easy fix.
Context: My code is currently pulling data from Google Sheets, crafting some sort of table and sending it back to HTML where it repopulates an already existing table.
Issue: I am unable to make it so that it builds columns as well as rows. It pastes the data back all in one go (see image for context).
Files: GS & HTML. I believe the issue is on how I'm crafting the table. I know the current disposition of '' doesn't make sense, bu
HTML table with Gsheet values:
Original Gsheet table:
Google Script
function populateStratTb2(){
var tablerows = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('supp_str').getRange(1, 5, 1000).getValue();
var tablevalues = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('supp_str').getRange(4, 1, tablerows).getValues();
var tvlen = tablevalues.length
var active = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sheet = active.getSheetByName("supp_str");
var myRange = sheet.getRange("d3:m" + tvlen);
var data = myRange.getValues();
var optionsHTML = "";
for ( var r = 0; r < 10; r+=1) {
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i+=1) {
optionsHTML += '<tr><td>' + data[i][r] + '</td></tr>';
}};
return optionsHTML;
}
HTML Script
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function(){
google.script.run
.withSuccessHandler(displayData)
.populateStratTb2();
});
function displayData(hl){
document.getElementById('strattable').innerHTML=hl;
}
console.log('MyCode');
</script>
PS. I have spent a good couple hours scrolling though the forum picking bits and improving my original code. I am sure this question (or similar) has been answered already but I can't manage to find it.

In your script, how about the following modifications?
Modification 1:
If your for loop is used, how about the following modification?
function populateStratTb2() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('supp_str');
var tablerows = sheet.getRange(1, 5, 1000).getValue();
var tablevalues = sheet.getRange(4, 1, tablerows).getValues();
var tvlen = tablevalues.length
var myRange = sheet.getRange("d3:m" + tvlen);
var data = myRange.getValues();
var optionsHTML = "";
for (var r = 0; r < 10; r += 1) {
var row = "";
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i += 1) {
row += '<td>' + data[i][r] + '</td>';
}
optionsHTML += '<tr>' + row + '</tr>';
}
optionsHTML = '<table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse">' + optionsHTML + "</table>";
return optionsHTML;
}
I'm worried that your for loop might not be your expected result. So, I would like to proposed one more modified script as "Modification 2".
Modification 2:
If your data is converted to the HTML table, how about the following modification?
function populateStratTb2() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('supp_str');
var tablerows = sheet.getRange(1, 5, 1000).getValue();
var tablevalues = sheet.getRange(4, 1, tablerows).getValues();
var tvlen = tablevalues.length
var myRange = sheet.getRange("d3:m" + tvlen);
var data = myRange.getValues();
var optionsHTML = '<table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse">' + data.reduce((s, r) => s += "<tr>" + r.map(c => `<td>${c}</td>`).join("") + "</tr>", "") + "</table>";
return optionsHTML;
}
Note:
If you don't want to add the border, please modify <table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse"> to <table>.
From your reply, I added 2 sample scripts for the script for obtaining the same result from reduce and for loop as follows.
reduce
var optionsHTML = '<table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse">' + data.reduce((s, r) => s += "<tr>" + r.map(c => `<td>${c}</td>`).join("") + "</tr>", "") + "</table>";
for loop
var optionsHTML = "";
for (var r = 0; r < data.length; r++) {
var row = "";
for (var c = 0; c < data[r].length; c++) {
row += '<td>' + data[r][c] + '</td>';
}
optionsHTML += '<tr>' + row + '</tr>';
}
optionsHTML = '<table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse">' + optionsHTML + "</table>";

How to display selected file names before uploading multiple files in javascript

How to use table instead of list for alignment. Also ones we click the cancel button the file list need to be deleted from list.
updateList = function () {
var input = document.getElementById('fileUploader');
var output = document.getElementById('divFiles');
output.innerHTML = '<ul style="list-style-type:none">';
for (var i = 0; i < input.files.length; ++i) {
output.innerHTML += '<li>' + input.files.item(i).name + ' <button>X</button></li> ';
}
output image for the above code

updateList = function () {
var input = document.getElementById('fileUploader');
var output = document.getElementById('divFiles');var HTML = "<table>";
for (var i = 0; i < input.files.length; ++i)
{
HTML += "<tr><td>" + input.files.item(i).name + "</td><td> <button>X</button></td></tr>";
}
HTML += "</table>";
output.innerHTML = HTML;
}

how to display image through XML to html

Hie i am practicing XML , Javascript. I want to display image for each animal in a row. But my main problem arises uneven nesting in images . Some have two images while some have 4. I have XML File as follows:
<zoo>
<animal>
<common_name>Elephant</common_name>
<images>
<image>elephant13.jpg</image>
</images>
</animal>
<animal>
<common_name>Emu</common_name>
<images>
<image>emu12.jpg</image>
<image>emu26.jpg</image>
<image>emu23.jpg</image>
</images>
</animal>
<animal>
<common_name>Lion</common_name>
<images>
<image>lion51.jpg</image>
<image>lion46.jpg</image>
</images>
</animal>
<zoo>`
My javascript for img is :
for(var y = 0; y < noOfImages ; y++)
{
if (images)
{
images.src ="images/" + zooRoot.getElementsByTagName("image")[i].firstChild.nodeValue;
ul.appendChild(images);
}
}

Try this. This get's the document node of xml and queries for images from it. Once you have the array, you iterate over it and get the inner text from the node.
var xmlimages = xml.getElementsByTagName('image');
for(var i=0; i< xmlimages.length; i++) {
images.src = "images/" + xmlimages[i].innerHTML.trim(); // trim used to remove all the white space from text that you get when you use innerHTML
}

Please insert loop on node:
for(var y = 0; y < noOfImages ; y++)
{
if (images)
{
var imgData = zooRoot.getElementsByTagName("image");
for (i = 0; i <imgData.length; i++) {
images.src ="images/" + imgData[i].firstChild.nodeValue;
ul.appendChild(images);
}
}
}

Try to get Animal as an object, then create a HTMLstring and insert it in node;
var animalsNode = zooRoot.getElementsByTagName('animal');
var animals = [];
for(var i=0; i<animalsNode.length; i++){
var animalName = animalsNode[i].getElementsByTagName("common_name").innerHTML;
var animalImageNodes = animalsNode[i].getElementsByTagName("image");
var animalImages = [];
//will store image paths into animalImages
for(var j=0; j<animalImageNodes.length; j++){
animalImages.push("image/" + animalImageNodes.innerHTML);
}
animals.push({
common_name: animalName,
images: animalImages //array of image urls
})
}
var animalsHTML = function(animals){
//lets cereate string with "html table"
var animalsHtml = "<table>";
for(var i=0; i<animals.length; i++){
animalsHtml += "<tr>";
animalsHtml += "<td>" + animals[i].name + "</td>"
+ "<td><img src='" + animals[i].images[0] + "' /></td>";
animalsHtml += "</tr>";
}
animalsHtml += "</table>";
return animalsHtml;
}
tableNode.innerHTML = animalsHTML(animals);
or you can define animal array more functional way =)
var animals = zooRoot.getElementsByTagName('animal').map(function(animalNode){
return {
common_name: animalNode.getElementsByTagName('common_name')[0].innerHTML,
images: animalNode.getElementsByTagName('image').map(function(imageNode){
return "image/" + imageNode.innerHTML;
})
};
});
//and more js style of draw-function
var animalsHTML = function(animals){
return "<table>" + animals.reduce(function(curr, next){
return curr + "<tr><td>" + next.name + "</td>"
+ "<td>"
+ next.images.reduce(function(c, n){
return c + "<img src='" + n "' />"
},'')
+ "</td>"
+ "</tr>";
}, '') + "</table>";
}
tableNode.innerHTML = animalsHTML(animals);
I didn't test it, but it should work.

Create a new dropdown with javascript

I am trying to create a dropdown after I choose an option in an original dropdown.
This is the HTML code:
<br>
<select id ="select-container" onchange="addSelect('select-container');">
<option>test1</option>
<option>test2</option>
<option>test3</option>
</select>
<br>
This is the javascript.
function categorygenerate() {
//for testing purposes
var categoryarray = new Array(),
i;
for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
categoryarray[i] = Math.random();
}
return categoryarray;
}
function addSelect(divname) {
var newDiv = document.createElement('div');
var html = '<select>',
dates = categorygenerate(),
i;
for (i = 0; i < dates.length; i++) {
html += "<option value='" + dates[i] + "'>" + dates[i] + "</option>";
}
html += '</select>';
newDiv.innerHTML = html;
document.getElementById(divname).appendChild(newDiv);
console.log($("#" + divname).html());
console.log(newDiv);
}
The debugger mode shows me no error.

It is because you are trying to append your code in the "original select": look at the id of your select.
You have to add a div tag with the id="select-container" and remove it from the "original select"
Here is a working snippet:
function categorygenerate() {
//for testing purposes
var categoryarray = new Array(),
i;
for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
categoryarray[i] = Math.random();
}
return categoryarray;
}
function addSelect(divname) {
var newDiv = document.createElement('div');
var html = '<select>',
dates = categorygenerate(),
i;
for (i = 0; i < dates.length; i++) {
html += "<option value='" + dates[i] + "'>" + dates[i] + "</option>";
}
html += '</select>';
newDiv.innerHTML = html;
document.getElementById(divname).appendChild(newDiv);
console.log($("#" + divname).html());
console.log(newDiv);
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<br>
<select onchange="addSelect('select-container');">
<option>test1</option>
<option>test2</option>
<option>test3</option>
</select>
<br>
<div id="select-container"></div>

Put your select in a div with the id select-container. Ofcourse, give your select an other ID. Then your code should work. It's because you try to append a new select to the original one in your HTML.

Dynamically creating an html table with Javascript

I am trying to create a table based on user input (actually two or three tables depending on the user input..) using Javascript, I am very much native to PHP and have already got this working in PHP, however i would like the user to be able to see the table before the query it. I found a script on here that partially did what I wanted and have attempted to edit it (I found it surprisingly similar to PHP) Basically it calculates the total amount of cells (ports) splits it by rows and columns, the "super" column is used if the user would like it to be split into multiple tables, which align next to each other, hence the div tag. Here's my JS:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function createTable()
{
var num_ports = document.getElementById('ports').value;
var num_super = document.getElementById('super').value;
var num_rows = document.getElementById('rows').value;
var num_cols = document.getElementById('cols').value;
var tbody = '';
var colStart = num_cols / num_super;
for( var i=0; i<num_super; i++){
var theader = '<div><table border="1">\n';
for(u=1; u<=num_row; u++){
tbody += '<tr>';
for( var j=0; j<colStart; j++)
{
tbody += '<td>';
tbody += 'Cell ' + i + ',' + j;
tbody += '</td>'
}
tbody += '</tr>\n';
}
var tfooter = '</table></div>';
document.getElementById('wrapper').innerHTML = theader + tbody + tfooter;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="tablegen">
<label>Ports: <input type="text" name="ports" id="ports"/></label><br />
<label>Super Columns: <input type="text" name="super" id="super"/></label><br />
<label>Rows: <input type="text" name="rows" id="rows"/></label><br />
<label>Columns: <input type="text" name="cols" id="cols"/></label><br/>
<input name="generate" type="button" value="Create Table!" onclick='createTable();'/>
</form>
<div id="wrapper"></div>
</body>
</html>
Here is what the final output looks like after it has been processed by PHP (ports:24, col:6, rows:2, super:2):
Here is a js fiddle that I threw together:
http://jsfiddle.net/9SnLB/
Currently, when I click the button nothing happens, but, I suppose that is my first issue, but am I going about the setup correctly? Why wont the button run the function?

Two mistakes. One you didn't close the function bracket, ie a missing } at the end. The second is you used $row instead of the variable you created num_rows. For some reason it doesn't work in the fiddle, it does however work locally. The fiddle is saying the createTable function is undefined.
function createTable()
{
var num_ports = document.getElementById('ports').value;
var num_super = document.getElementById('super').value;
var num_rows = document.getElementById('rows').value;
var num_cols = document.getElementById('cols').value;
var tbody = '';
var colStart = num_cols / num_super;
for( var i=0; i<num_super; i++){
var theader = '<div><table border="1">\n';
for($u=1; $u<=num_rows; $u++){
tbody += '<tr>';
for( var j=0; j<colStart; j++)
{
tbody += '<td>';
tbody += 'Cell ' + i + ',' + j;
tbody += '</td>'
}
tbody += '</tr>\n';
}
var tfooter = '</table></div>';
document.getElementById('wrapper').innerHTML = theader + tbody + tfooter;
}
}

var table = [["a1","a2","a3"]["b1","b2","b3"]["c1","c2","c3"]];
for(x = table.length;x > 0;x--) {
document.write("<tr>");
for(y = table[x].length;y > 0;y--) {
document.write("<td>"+y+"</td>");
}
document.write("</tr>");
}
Sorry if the syntax is wrong. You get the idea.

You need to change your jsFiddle framework to "no wrap (head)" and correct errors in the javascript. "no wrap (head)" will allow access the function. The "for ($u=1" loop is missing the close brace and $row should be num_rows. The "for (j=0" loop is missing a semicolon at the last "tbody=".
here's the corrected js.
function createTable() {
var num_ports = document.getElementById('ports').value;
var num_super = document.getElementById('super').value;
var num_rows = document.getElementById('rows').value;
var num_cols = document.getElementById('cols').value;
var tbody = '';
var colStart = num_cols / num_super;
for (var i = 0; i < num_super; i++) {
var theader = '<div><table border="1">\n';
for ($u = 1; $u <= num_rows; $u++) {
tbody += '<tr>';
for (var j = 0; j < colStart; j++) {
tbody += '<td>';
tbody += 'Cell ' + i + ',' + j;
tbody += '</td>';
}
}
tbody += '</tr>\n';
}
var tfooter = '</table></div>';
document.getElementById('wrapper').innerHTML = theader + tbody + tfooter;
}
