Say my dynamic HTML looks something like this:
<table id="DanishCompanies">
<tr><th>Name</th><th>Employees</th><th>Founded</th></tr>
<tr id="19"><td>Company A</td><td>80</td><td>1980</td></tr>
<tr id="17"><td>Company B</td><td>12</td><td>1910</td></tr>
<tr id="26"><td>Company C</td><td>5000</td><td>2015</td></tr>
</table>
<table id="SwedishCompanies">
<tr><th>Name</th><th>Employees</th><th>Founded</th></tr>
<tr id="10"><td>Company D</td><td>500</td><td>1950</td></tr>
<tr id="12"><td>Company E</td><td>900</td><td>1990</td></tr>
<tr id="17"><td>Company F</td><td>90</td><td>2010</td></tr>
</table>
<table id="NorwegianCompanies">
<tr><th>Name</th><th>Employees</th><th>Founded</th></tr>
<tr id="17"><td>Company G</td><td>105</td><td>1970</td></tr>
<tr id="18"><td>Company H</td><td>100</td><td>1980</td></tr>
<tr id="19"><td>Company I</td><td>45</td><td>2000</td></tr>
</table>
Each tr has an ID, but ID only relatively unique to the table, as other tables might have the ID, and the number of rows might vary.
How would I obtain the founding year (column 2) of a Swedish company with an id of 17?
I would imagine you would do it like this but I fail to find the correct code.
var table = document.getElementById("SwedishCompanies");
var row_index = ??? //should return 2
return table[row_index].cells[2].innerHTML;
I can't use getElementById just to get id "17", because I would risk getting Danish or Norwegian's company because the order of these tables is random.
you're just not using the right selector,
#DanishCompanies tr[id="17"]
will get you the tr with id 17 that's a child of DanishCompanies :
const row = document.querySelector('#DanishCompanies tr[id="17"]');
const year = row.cells[2].innerHTML;
console.log(year);
<table id="DanishCompanies">
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Employees</th>
<th>Founded</th>
</tr>
<tr id="19">
<td>Company A</td>
<td>80</td>
<td>1980</td>
</tr>
<tr id="17">
<td>Company B</td>
<td>12</td>
<td>1910</td>
</tr>
<tr id="26">
<td>Company C</td>
<td>5000</td>
<td>2015</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table id="SwedishCompanies">
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Employees</th>
<th>Founded</th>
</tr>
<tr id="10">
<td>Company D</td>
<td>500</td>
<td>1950</td>
</tr>
<tr id="12">
<td>Company E</td>
<td>900</td>
<td>1990</td>
</tr>
<tr id="17">
<td>Company F</td>
<td>90</td>
<td>2010</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table id="NorwegianCompanies">
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Employees</th>
<th>Founded</th>
</tr>
<tr id="17">
<td>Company G</td>
<td>105</td>
<td>1970</td>
</tr>
<tr id="18">
<td>Company H</td>
<td>100</td>
<td>1980</td>
</tr>
<tr id="19">
<td>Company I</td>
<td>45</td>
<td>2000</td>
</tr>
</table>
this way (id with number values complicates the css select syntax)
function getTDval( tableId, rowId, colNum)
{
return document
.querySelector(`table#${tableId} tr[id="${rowId}"]`)
.cells[colNum].textContent
}
console.log( getTDval('SwedishCompanies','17',2) )
<table id="DanishCompanies">
<tr><th>Name</th><th>Employees</th><th>Founded</th></tr>
<tr id="19"><td>Company A</td><td>80</td><td>1980</td></tr>
<tr id="17"><td>Company B</td><td>12</td><td>1910</td></tr>
<tr id="26"><td>Company C</td><td>5000</td><td>2015</td></tr>
</table>
<table id="SwedishCompanies">
<tr><th>Name</th><th>Employees</th><th>Founded</th></tr>
<tr id="10"><td>Company D</td><td>500</td><td>1950</td></tr>
<tr id="12"><td>Company E</td><td>900</td><td>1990</td></tr>
<tr id="17"><td>Company F</td><td>90</td><td>2010</td></tr>
</table>
<table id="NorwegianCompanies">
<tr><th>Name</th><th>Employees</th><th>Founded</th></tr>
<tr id="17"><td>Company G</td><td>105</td><td>1970</td></tr>
<tr id="18"><td>Company H</td><td>100</td><td>1980</td></tr>
<tr id="19"><td>Company I</td><td>45</td><td>2000</td></tr>
</table>
It is invalid HTML to reuse the same id value within a page. You might use private data-... attributes for that.
Apart from that, the following line gets the human readable text of the third child node (third column in this case), which is the year (as a string).
document.querySelector('#DanishCompanies tr[id="17"]')
.children[2].innerText;
If you can't rely on getElmentById that means that you are doing something wrong, an id should be unique in the whole html. I suggest a new naming technique, you can concatenate the parent table id with the current row id. Example:
<table id="NorwegianCompanies">
<tr><th>Name</th><th>Employees</th><th>Founded</th></tr>
<tr id="NorwegianCompanies17"><td>Company G</td><td>105</td><td>1970</td></tr>
<tr id="NorwegianCompanies18"><td>Company H</td><td>100</td><td>1980</td></tr>
<tr id="NorwegianCompanies19"><td>Company I</td><td>45</td><td>2000</td></tr>
</table>
In that way you can simply call
const row = document.getElementById(rowId)

On my html I have multiple tables, which are for different valuations. The results of those valuations are supposed to be in another table. The text of valuation_all in the tables.taglist should be transferred into another table. I'm really lost here. Newby with this topic so I'll appreciate every help!
Table for summary results
<table id="results" class="summary">
<th>Test</th>
<th>result</th>
<tr>
<td>E-01</td>
<td>text</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>E-02</td>
<td>text</td>
</tr>
</table>
Tables of valuation
<p>
<table id="results1" class="taglist">
<th>Name</th>
<th>result</th>
<tr>
<td class="valuation">FAIL</td>
<td rowspan=2 class="valuation_all">FAIL</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="valuation">PASS</td>
</tr>
</table>
</p>
<p>
<table id="results2" class="taglist">
<th>Name</th>
<th>result</th>
<tr>
<td class="valuation">x</td>
<td class="valuation_all" rowspan=2>OPEN</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="valuation">x</td>
</tr>
</table>
</p>
Assuming your results list tables are ordered the same way you ordered rows in your global results table, you can perform a forEach on all .valuation_all, and then mirror each text on the global results table:
const resTables = document.querySelectorAll('.valuation_all')
const results = document.querySelectorAll('#results tr > td + td')
resTables.forEach( function(el, i) {
results[i].textContent = el.textContent
})
<table id="results" class="summary">
<tr>
<th>Test</th><th>result</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>E-01</td><td>text</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>E-02</td><td>text</td>
</tr>
</table>
<hr>
<table id="results1" class="taglist">
<tr>
<th>Name</th><th>result</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="valuation">FAIL</td><td rowspan="2" class="valuation_all">FAIL</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="valuation">PASS</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table id="results2" class="taglist">
<tr>
<th>Name</th><th>result</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="valuation">x</td><td class="valuation_all" rowspan="2">OPEN</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="valuation">x</td>
</tr>
</table>
Please consider using data attributes for better matching.

I got 2 tables one of them has my products data such name,and bar-code.
The other one is empty and I want to copy products' table (selected rows only) into the second table via jQuery.
<table id="exampleTable1" style="max-width:50%;">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>bar-code</th>
<th>product name</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr role="row" class="odd selected">
<td class="sorting_1">545333456</td>
<td>Galaxy S9</td>
</tr>
<tr role="row" class="even selected">
<td class="sorting_1">876543</td>
<td>Galaxy S6</td>
</tr>
<tr role="row" class="odd">
<td class="sorting_1">407654</td>
<td>SD 64G </td>
</tr>
<tr role="row" class="even selected">
<td class="sorting_1">876543</td>
<td>Galaxy S5</td>
<tr role="row" class="odd">
<td class="sorting_1">407654</td>
<td>Iphone 7 </td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
My second table :
<table id="exampleTable2" style="max-width:50%;">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>bar-code</th>
<th>product name</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
</tr>
<tr>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<button class="btn btn-success" data-panelId="copy1" id="copy1">
Copy from exampleTable1 To exampleTable1
</button>
There are a few jQuery methods that make this easy to do, namely the .clone() and .each() method. You could achieve what you want by the following:
$('#copy1').click(function() {
$('tr.selected', '#exampleTable1').each(function() {
// For each "selected" row of table1 ..
var rowFromTable1 = $(this);
// .. Take a clone/copy of it ..
var clonedRowFromTable1 = rowFromTable1.clone();
// .. And append the cloned row to the tbody of table2
$('tbody', '#exampleTable2').append( clonedRowFromTable1 )
})
})
I am trying to move a selected row in my DataTable to another DataTable. I have this almost working but the problem is with the cells that have data-search attributes on them. That data just gets placed into my other table as [object Object]. I've tried finding an example on how to handle this case in the documentation but I'm not having any luck. Here is what I have..
https://jsfiddle.net/dmcgrew/x85o0mgL/5/
HTML..
<table id="selected_items">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Item</th>
<th>Description</th>
<th>Crest Allowed</th>
<th> </th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
</tbody>
</table>
<table id="select_items">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Item</th>
<th>Description</th>
<th>Crest Allowed</th>
<th> </th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr id="1">
<td data-search="test">1</td>
<td>Testing Bowl</td>
<td data-search="nocrest">NO</td>
<td><button class="button select">Select</button></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td data-search="test">32</td>
<td>Cup Test</td>
<td data-search="nocrest">NO</td>
<td><button class="button select">Select</button></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td data-search="pristine">3335</td>
<td>Bowl Test</td>
<td data-search="nocrest">NO</td>
<td><button class="button select">Select</button></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td data-search="pristine">120</td>
<td>Plate Test</td>
<td data-search="yescrest">YES</td>
<td><button class="button select">Select</button></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td data-search="test">1000</td>
<td>Mug Test</td>
<td data-search="yescrest">YES</td>
<td><button class="button select">Select</button></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td data-search="pristine">65</td>
<td>Ramekin Test</td>
<td data-search="yescrest">YES</td>
<td><button class="button select">Select</button></td>
</tr>
</tbody>

JS...
var select_items = $('.select_items').dataTable();
var selected_items = $('#selected_items').DataTable();
$('.select_items').on("click", "button.select", function(){
var selectedRow = select_items.api().row( $(this).parents("tr") ).data();
selected_items.row.add(selectedRow).draw(true);
});
Your basic problem is the data.
When a td has a data attribute (data-search), it is included in the data object so your data array looks like this:
[{display:"1", #data-search:"test"}, "Testing Bowl", {display: "NO", #data-search: "nocrest"}, "Select"] so first and third items in the array are, in fact objects, hence [object, object]
so the quickest (not the best in my mind) is to alter the data before you add it.
select_items.on("click", "button.select", function(){
var selectedRow = select_items.api().row( $(this).parents("tr") ).data();
console.log(selectedRow);
selectedRow[0] = selectedRow[0].display;
selectedRow[2] = selectedRow[2].display;
selected_items.row.add(selectedRow).draw(true);
});

I am unable to edit the HTML directly in a form and would like to move some things around. I created a very simplified version of what is going on below. So for example, if I would like to move the row with class "comments" to just below the row with class "matching" how could I do this on page load?
I tried doing something like:
$('tr.comments').closest('tr').after($('tr.matching').closest('tr'));
Here is the basic code, thank you for your help!! :)
<table>
<tbody>
<tr class="designation">
<td>Some text</td>
</tr>
<tr class="comments">
<td>More text</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody>
<tr class="levels">
<td>level 1</td>
</tr>
<tr class="amount">
<td>$500</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody>
<tr class="matching">
<td>donor</td>
</tr>
<tr class="mailing">
<td>yes</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
Try with this $('tr.matching').after($('tr.comments'));.
$('tr.matching').after($('tr.comments'));
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr class="designation">
<td>Some text</td>
</tr>
<tr class="comments">
<td>More text</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody>
<tr class="levels">
<td>level 1</td>
</tr>
<tr class="amount">
<td>$500</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody>
<tr class="matching">
<td>donor</td>
</tr>
<tr class="mailing">
<td>yes</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
$(".matching").after($(".comments"));
I know that I can use ng-repeat-start and ng-repeat-end to repeat two elements, <tr>s for example like this
<table>
<tr ng-repeat-start="item in list">
<td>Some text</td>
</tr>
<tr ng-repeat-end>
<td>More text</td>
</tr>
</table>
but how can I do the same for more than two elements? I want 3 <tr>s to be repeated for each item in list. Does Angular have other directives for this purpose or can I surround my repeated elements somehow, so as to be repeated for each item?
Example
<tr>
<td>Text</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Some text</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>More text</td>
</tr>
Try this
<table>
<tr ng-repeat-start="item in list">
<td>{{item}}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{item}}</td>
</tr>
<tr ng-repeat-end>
<td>{{item}}</td>
</tr>
</table>
For more reference check above link: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngRepeat
Also a more simple way to do this without making this kind of ... weird thing, is the following :
<div ng-repeat="item in list">
<tr>
<td>{{item}}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{item}}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{item}}</td>
</tr>
</tr>
No need to use start, end .. for this particular use case
