ScrollTo fires too early resulting in not scrolling all the way

I am making an Angular application which shows a table with a single tr. This row contains multiple td's which contain data. the table is built up like this:
<div class="col" id="TableCol">
<table id="Table">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td *ngFor="let item of items;">
<div
(click)="ItemSelected(item)"
draggable="true"
[class.selected]="item.id == selecteditem?.id"
(dragstart)="dragStart($event, item)"
(drop)="dropItem($event, item)"
(dragover)="dragoverItem($event, item)">
{{item.description}}
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
The table is scrollable when it overflows its X value
#TableCol{ overflow-x: scroll; }
Now i have a function which adds a td at the right side of this tr.
When this function is called an extra td shows up into my table and scrolling works fine.
The thing I want to achieve is that the table automatically scrolls all the way to the right when I add a new td.
I've tried to call this function right AFTER I've added the new item to the items array.
this.items.push(item);
scrollRight() {
document.querySelector('#mapLocationTableCol').scrollLeft = 10000;}
and
scrollRight() {
document.querySelector('#mapLocationTableCol').scrollTo(10000, 0);}
Both these give the same result:
They scroll my row all the way to the right except for the last element.
I think this is due to the scrollRight() being called before the table is redrawn.
Anyone have a solution to make it scroll after the table is drawn?
edit: I've made a stackblitz example:
https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-d6lm6k

You should monitor the creation of the table cell with ViewChildren and the QueryList.changes event. In the markup, set a template reference variable on the td elements:
<td #cells *ngFor="let item of items;">
In the code, use ViewChildren to get the list of these elements, and subscribe to the QueryList.changes event in ngAfterViewInit. If a new cell was added, do the scrolling. In the code below, I set a flag to make sure that automatic scrolling is performed only when desired.
#ViewChildren("cells") cells: QueryList<ElementRef>;
private shouldScrollRight = false;
...
addItem() {
this.shouldScrollRight = true;
this.items.push(item);
}
ngAfterViewInit() {
this.cells.changes.subscribe((cellList) => {
if (this.shouldScrollRight) {
this.shouldScrollRight = false;
this.scrollRight();
}
});
}

Trying to remove a child html element with javascript

I have 3 tables in my boostrap tab. Each tab as a table. The rows of this table is dynamically generated with csharp asp.net code. Right I Want a scenario were if a user click on the row of the first table, the clicked role of the first table get remove from the first table and is added to the rows of the second table.
My challenge as been getting to remove the row after the onClick process.
<tbody>
<tr id="kayode#yahoo.com">
<td> kayode <a class="chat" connectionid="135976e6-799b-4cda-a764-a00f7110d515"
data-parentid="kayode#yahoo.com"
href="/Visitor/StartChat?threadid=3&email=kayode%40yahoo.com"
operatorid="1" target="_blank" threadid="3">chat</a></td>
<td>271.0.0.1</td>
<td>Active</td>
<td></td>
<td>9/13/2014</td>
<td>04:15:18</td>
<td>02:52:55</td>
<td>271.0.0.1</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
My javascript code which I am trying to use to remove the row after the Click event.
function updateWaitingState(sender) {
var parentid = $(sender).attr("data-parentid");
//alert(parentid);
//we are going to remove the role from this field
var element = document.getElementById(parentid);
element.parentNode.removeChild(element); //This line is a problem says
//document.querySelector("tablebody4 first").appendChild(element);
console.log(element);
}

This is untested, but I imagine jQuery will greatly reduce your headache here:
function updateWaitingState(sender) {
var parentId = $(sender).attr("data-parentid");
$('#' + parentId).appendTo('.tablebody4:first');
}
You may need to adjust the selector in the appendTo function, as it was a guess on my part.

function updateWaitingState(sender) {
var parentid = $(sender).attr("data-parentid");
var element = document.getElementById(parentid);
$(element).appendTo('.tablebody2:first');
}

Showing/Hiding DOM for only one element

I basically have multiple elements like this:
<tr class="class1">
...
</tr>
<tr class="class1">
...
</tr>
<tr class="class1">
...
</tr>
<tr class="class1">
...
</tr>
etc. I want to request the DOM like this:
dom.query(".class1").live("click", function() {
if (dom.query("#div1InsideClass1").is(':visible')) {
dom.query("#div1InsideClass1").hide();
...
} else {
dom.query("#div1InsideClass1").show();
...
}
});
But the way that this function works is that it does the function for every single instance of the above, as well as every instance of #div1InsideClass1. Is there a way to detect which particular tr element was clicked on? I heard the .next() function usually helps, but I'm not sure.

You have a root problem: there can't be duplicated ids on your html. You'll need to address that first of all.
Assuming you add a css class to those divs named div1InsideClass1, this should do the trick
$(".class1").live("click", function() {
$(this).find('.div1InsideClass1').toggle();
});
If you need to keep using the if statement, this code is equivalent but allows you to add extra logic within if else
$(".class1").live("click", function() {
var $this = $(this);
var $div = $this.find('.div1InsideClass1');
if ($div.is(':visible')) {
$div.hide();
...
} else {
$div.show();
...
}
});

What's the smartest way to select specific table elements in javascript?

I've got a table with hidden rows on it, like such
-visible-
-invisible-
-visible-
-invisible-
When I click on a table row, I want it to show the invisible row. Currently I have that using this function:
var grid = $('#BillabilityResults');
$(".tbl tr:has(td)").click(
function () {
$(grid.rows[$(this).index()+1]).toggle();
}
However, this table also hides the visible rows if I click on one of the (now visible) hidden rows.
I'd like the click function to only work on the specific visible rows. Currently all my invisible rows have the class "even" so I figured I could limit the click based on that. However, I can't seem to find the syntax to explain that to my function. How would I go about doing that? And, more importantly, is there a better way to approach this?

Use next:
$(".tbl tr:has(td)").click(
function () {
$(this).next().toggle();
}
);
And also if you have specific selector for odd or even:
$(".tbl tr.odd").click(
function () {
$(this).next().toggle();
}
);
But I think that the major help with my answer is to use next() that get you the next row, instead of the index process that you were doing.

var grid = $('#BillabilityResults');
$(".tbl tr:visible").click(
function () {
$(this).next('tr').toggle();
});

Use the NOT function to disregard the EVEN tr elements:
http://jsfiddle.net/7AHmh/
<table class="tbl">
<tr><td>one</td></tr>
<tr class="even" style="display:none"><td>two</td></tr>
<tr><td>three</td></tr>
<tr class="even" style="display:none"><td>four</td></tr>
</table>​
$(".tbl tr:has(td)").not("tr.even").click(function() {
alert("Click triggered.");
$(this).next("tr").show();
});

I guess you could check for even/odd rows with the modulus operator before calling your toggling code:
function() { // your anonymous function
if (rowNumber % 2 == 0) { // only even rows get through here
// toggle code here
}
}
I hope it helps.

Display jQuery-ui dialog box if <div> is not empty

I have a div block like this:
<div id="myDiv">
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>Some data</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
All I want to do is check if the <tr></tr> has some text in it and display this div block in a dialog box, otherwise don't do anything.
What would be the best way to do this? I don't know how to check if the <tr></tr> is empty or not.

First of all you have invalid html. The tr tag can contains one or more th or td elements (W3C). So fix your html.
As for validation using jQuery:
if ($('#myDiv table tr td').is(':empty')) {
}
else {
}
http://jsfiddle.net/JnyJs/1/

DEMO
var text = $.trim($('#myDiv').text());
if (text) {
alert(text);
}

You can check the "emptiness" usng jQuery's .text() function:
var $tr = $('#myDiv > table > tbody > tr');
if ($tr.text())
{
// div is not empty
}
else
{
// div is empty
}
You may want to $.trim() the whitespace from the returned string.
