How to create a JavaScript loop that adds DOM properties to attributes?

I have a table with cells that are not contentEditable. However, using a JavaScript loop or function, I would like to make them so.
I understand that it is very simple to do this manually for each cell, and this would probably be easier for a table with only a few cells, but I would like to quicken this process with a loop/function for the table could become much larger, and the time spent manually setting each cell to be contentEditable would be tedious.
Below is a quick example that displays a table calculator, un-editable at present. But using a loop or function, I'd like to make every cell in the right column set to .contentEditable = true in the DOM. I imagine that the parameters would look something like (var i = 0; l != rows.length; i < l; i+2), but I'm struggling with what the statements following the argument would have to be for the loop/function to work. Any help would be much appreciated!
function myFunction() {
var jack2 = document.getElementById("jack").innerText;
var john2 = document.getElementById("john").innerText;
var joe2 = document.getElementById("joe").innerText;
var total2 = (parseInt(jack2) || 0) + (parseInt(john2) || 0) + (parseInt(joe2) || 0);
document.getElementById("total").innerHTML = total2;
}
table {
width: 100%;
}
table,
tr,
th,
td {
border: 1px solid gray;
border-collapse: collapse;
font-family: Arial;
margin: 5px;
}
<table>
<caption>Weight Calculator</caption>
<tr class="cell">
<th>Person</th>
<th>Weight (kg)</th>
</tr>
<tr class="cell">
<td>Jack</td>
<td id="jack" oninput="myFunction()">1</td>
</tr>
<tr class="cell">
<td>John</td>
<td id="john" oninput="myFunction()">2</td>
</tr>
<tr class="cell">
<td>Joe</td>
<td id="joe" oninput="myFunction()">3</td>
</tr>
<tr class="cell">
<td>Total</td>
<td id="total"></td>
</tr>
</table>

Get all cell in the tabel that have a left neigbour (the header is not effected because there are th and not td). Add to each of these cells your attribute.
Edited: For getting the totalsum add an eventlistener on each td that calls the calc-function if the content changes.
function myFunction() {
let weightCells = document.querySelectorAll("table tr:not(:last-child) td ~ td");
weightCells.forEach(td => {
td.setAttribute('contentEditable', true);
td.addEventListener ("change", calcSum());
});
}
function calcSum() {
let sum=0;
let weightCells = document.querySelectorAll("table tr td ~ td");
let count = weightCells.length-1;
for (i=0; i<count; i++) {
sum += parseInt(weightCells[i].innerHTML) || 0;
}
weightCells[count].innerHTML = sum;
}
myFunction();
table {
width: 100%;
}
table,
tr,
th,
td {
border: 1px solid gray;
border-collapse: collapse;
font-family: Arial;
margin: 5px;
}
<table>
<caption>Weight Calculator</caption>
<tr class="cell">
<th>Person</th>
<th>Weight (kg)</th>
</tr>
<tr class="cell">
<td>Jack</td>
<td id="jack" oninput="myFunction()">1</td>
</tr>
<tr class="cell">
<td>John</td>
<td id="john" oninput="myFunction()">2</td>
</tr>
<tr class="cell">
<td>Joe</td>
<td id="joe" oninput="myFunction()">3</td>
</tr>
<tr class="cell">
<td>Total</td>
<td id="total"></td>
</tr>
</table>

You can select the whole table, then use querySelectorAll to get all rows then for each rows change the contenteditable for the second td like this
codepen
let table = document.getElementById('table')
let rows = table.querySelectorAll('tr')
rows.forEach(row => {
let tds = row.querySelectorAll('td')
// all the cells of the row
if (tds.length > 0) { // if it is not the header
tds[1].contentEditable = true
// change the contenteditable
}
})
(you need to add an id to your table in case you have more than one table)
<table id="table">
...
</table>

How to loop through a table and get the td elements to follow a condition

I just want make so it the tr hides when the td does not follow the requirements, tried with jQuery and JavaScript, don't know what's wrong.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("td").each(function() {
var id = $(this).attr("price_search");
if (id > value4 && id < value5) {
$(this).hide;
}
else {
$(this).hide;
}
});
});

You can do this.
Hope this will help you.
$(document).ready(function() {
var value4 = 2;
var value5 = 4;
$("td").each(function() {
var id = $(this).attr("price_search");
if (id > value4 && id < value5) {
$(this).hide();
} else {
$(this).show();
}
});
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table>
<tr>
<td price_search="3">10</td>
<td price_search="2">20</td>
<td price_search="3">30</td>
</tr>
</table>

I am going to go out on a limb here and make broad assumptions on content not in the question.
Your .hide; is invalid syntax
You are missing value for two variables value4 and value4 which frankly are not well named variables at all. I will make an assumption that those are better named and that they come from somewhere during the page rendering.
I make an assumption that you have something you want to filter/hide by those upper/lower price points.
I make the assumption the attribute might contain values that need to be parsed (not a number as they are)
var lowerPricePoint = .45;
var upperPricePoint = 5.25;
$(function() {
$("td").filter('[price_search]').each(function() {
// parse out a price from perhaps formatted values
let price = Number.parseFloat($(this).attr("price_search").replace(/\$|,/g, ''));
// toggle visibility of the row
$(this).closest('tr').toggle(price > lowerPricePoint && price < upperPricePoint);
});
});
td {
border: solid black 1px;
padding: 0.4em;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Wear it</td>
<td price_search="123.13">Shoes</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Drive it</td>
<td price_search="$23,123.13">Car</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Drink it</td>
<td price_search="3.13">Beet Juice</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Eat it</td>
<td price_search="12.13">Can of expensive corn</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Cheap</td>
<td price_search="35">Radish</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Use it</td>
<td price_search="1.45">Paper towel</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Plain</td>
<td price_search="$1.87">Butter</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Herb</td>
<td price_search="$2.45">Butter</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Cheap</td>
<td price_search="15">Gum</td>
</tr>

How can I get only one column value from html table?

I have a html table that shows a list of users ID, Name and E-mail. When my user clicks in any row, I get the id number of that row and send to my backend. So, I did this:
//Making the table
var trs = document.getElementsByTagName('tr');
for (var i = 0; i < trs.length; i++) {
trs[i].onclick = clickHandler;
}
Function that handles the click:
function clickHandler(event) {
var numb = this.innerText.match(/\d/g);
numb = numb.join("");
window.location.replace("chooseParticipant.php?id="+numb);
}
Table Example:
<div id="table">
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>E-mail</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<td>7</td>
<td>Test User</td>
<td>testuser123#example.com</td>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
What happens then? If an user have numbers in their e-mail, the "numb" variable gets these numbers too. I don't know how to filter only the id number. Did someone have any ideas?

You could assign a class to you tag.
Something like below:-
<td class="id">7</td>
And in the javascript code you could fetch all the elements with class "id".
And then perform your click handler on each one.
var trs = document.getElementsByClassName('id');
I hope this helps.

Try this code snippet which use data-* attribute
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(e) {
var trs = document.querySelectorAll('#table tbody tr');
var repeater = Array.prototype.slice;
repeater.call(trs).forEach(function(tr) {
tr.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
var data = tr.querySelector('td[data-id]').dataset;
console.log('id=', data.id);
});
});
});
tbody {
cursor: pointer;
}
<div id="table">
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>E-mail</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td data-id="7">7</td>
<td>Test User 1</td>
<td>testuser1231#gmail.com</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td data-id="8">8</td>
<td>Test User 2</td>
<td>testuser1232#gmail.com</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td data-id="9">9</td>
<td>Test User 3</td>
<td>testuser1233#gmail.com</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>

How to find the corresponding th to a given td?

Basically the same question as How can I get the corresponding table header (th) from a table cell (td)? but not jQuery specific.
From a given <td> is there an easy way to find the corresponding <th>?
<table width="100%" id="stock">
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Type</th>
<th>Quantity</th>
<th>Options</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>foo</td>
<td id="target">bar</td>
<td>-1</td>
<td>...</td>
</tr>
I'd like something doing this:
document.getElementById('target').correspondingTH // would return HTMLObject <th>Type</th>
An ideal answer might contain both a jQuery way to do it and a vanilla one but I'm personally looking for a vanilla one.

Pure JavaScript's answer.
var index = Array.prototype.indexOf.call(your_td.parentNode.children, your_td)
var corresponding_th = document.querySelector('#your_table_id th:nth-child(' + (index+1) + ')')
As posted here in the more jQuery specifc question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/37312707/1524913

HTML table model gives easier solution. jquery in this case is more sophisticated. I tested following table:
<table style="width:100%" id="stock">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>foo</td>
<td id="target">bar</td>
<td>-1</td>
<td>...</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>foo</td>
<td id="target">bar</td>
<td>-1</td>
<td>...</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tr>
<td>foo</td>
<td id="target">bar</td>
<td colspan="2">-1</td>
<!--<td>...</td>-->
</tr>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Type</th>
<th>Quantity</th>
<th>Options</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
Script without jquery is simple and straightforward.
window.onload = function () {
var tbl = document.getElementById('stock');
var tds = document.getElementsByTagName('td');
for (var i = 0, td; td = tds[i]; ++i) {
td.onclick = function () {
var tr = this.parentNode;
console.log(tbl.rows[0].cells[this.cellIndex].innerHTML);
}
}
}
jquery also is useful.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#stock td').click(function () {
console.log($(this).parents('table').find('tr:first-child').children('th:nth-child(' + (this.cellIndex + 1) + ')').html());
});
});
<thead> can be placed at the top, at the bottom, and between rows. thead inside tbody is obvious error but browser fixes it. Scripts work in any case.

I think you need to step through the TH colSpans to exactly match the TD
Try
function getHeadCell(td) {
var index = Array.prototype.indexOf.call(td.parentNode.children, td);
var table = td;
while (table && table.tagName != 'TABLE') table = table.parentNode;
var cx = 0;
for (var c = 0; cx <= index; c++) cx += table.rows[0].cells[c].colSpan;
return table.rows[0].cells[c - 1];
}
See https://jsfiddle.net/Abeeee/upt75s2x/34/ for a working example

Adding a row that is writable in HTML

I have made a table that can add a row. But I want the row to be writable. When the user clicks the addRow a new row will appear and the user can input a text on it. Can someone help me to do it? Thankyou so much.
the code is in the jsFiddle.
jsFiddle

Here is the solution in jsFiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/96oqxz9z/
All you need to add is a simple line:
$('#tbl1').append("<TR><TD></TD><TD><input type=\"text\"></TD></TR>");

Try this
Check here
function addRow() {
$('#addmore').append('<tr><td><input type="text" value="1"></td><td><input type="text" value="2"></td></tr><tr><td> </td></tr>')
};

$(document).on('click', '#add', function() {
var row = '<tr><td><input type="text" /></td></tr>';
$(this).closest('table').append(row);
})
td {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table>
<tr>
<td id="add">add row </td>
</tr>
</table>

try using this:
function addRow() {
"use strict";
var table = document.getElementById("tbl1");
var row=table.insertRow(table.rows.length);
console.log(row);
var td1=row.insertCell(0);
var td11 = document.createElement("span");
td1.appendChild(td11);
var td2=row.insertCell(1);;
var td22 = document.createElement("input");
td22.type = "text";
td2.appendChild(td22);
td11.innerHTML = document.getElementById("a").innerHTML;
td2.value = document.getElementById("b").innerHTML;
row.appendChild(td1);
row.appendChild(td2);
table.children[0].appendChild(row);
}
<input type="button" onclick="addRow()" value="Add Row"/>
<TABLE id="tbl1">
<TR>
<TH></TH>
<TH id="a">Principal Name</TH>
<TH id="b">Principal Titles</TH>
