Conversion of javascript to jquery (getelementbyid, tagname, innertext, innerhtml)

I have some code written in javascript n when I am trying to convert in jQuery I am getting error.
var holder = document.getElementById('filedetails')
, rows = holder.getElementsByTagName('tr')
setSuccess = function(filename) {
if (holder != null) {
for (i = 0, j = rows.length; i < j; ++i) {
cells = rows[i].getElementsByTagName('td');
if (cells[0].innerText == filename && cells[3].innerText != "error!") {
cells[3].innerHTML = "<a href='#' class='file-delete ss-delete no-click'></a>";
}
}
}
}
I tried
var holder = $('#filedetails"),
rows = $('#filedetails tr")
I am not sure what to do with innertext and innerhtml.
<div data-behavior="delete-process" id="holder">
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="medium-5">Name</th>
<th class="medium-3">Size</th>
<th class="medium-3">Type</th>
<th class="medium-1"></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="filedetails">
<tr data-filesize="1.4" data-filename="Sample Image.jpg">
<td><strong>Sample_Image</strong></td>
<td class="nodesize">1.4 MB</td>
<td>JPG</td>
<td class="file-loading"></td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<div class="margin bottom large text-center drag-desc">drag and drop files here.</div>
</div>

Here is a "jqueryized" version of your code
var holder = $('#filedetails'),
rows = holder.find('tr');
var setSuccess = function(filename) {
rows.each(function() {
var cells = $(this).find('td');
if (cells.eq(0).text() == filename && cells.eq(3).text() != "error!") {
cells.eq(3).html("<a href='#' class='file-delete ss-delete no-click'></a>");
}
});
};
setSuccess("Sample_Image");
Alternate that just uses the rows:
var rows = $('#filedetails').find('tr');
var setSuccess = function(filename,useme) {
useme.each(function() {
var cells = $(this).find('td');
if (cells.eq(0).text() == filename && cells.eq(3).text() != "error!") {
cells.eq(3).html("<a href='#' class='file-delete ss-delete no-click'>freebeer</a>");
}
});
};
setSuccess("Sample_Image", rows);
To NOT use a positional table element, use a class and filter by that within the TD cells as here: This assumes one use of a class per row.
var rows = $('#filedetails').find('tr');
var setSuccess = function(filename, useme) {
useme.each(function() {
var cells = $(this).find('td');
if (cells.filter('.file-name').text() == filename
&& cells.filter('.file-loading').text() != "error!") {
cells.filter('.file-loading')
.html("<a href='#' class='file-delete ss-delete no-click'>noclick</a>");
}
});
};
setSuccess("Sample_Image", rows);

Check the following code snippet
$(document).ready(function(){
var holder = $("#filedetails")
, rows = holder.find('tr');
var rowsLength=rows.Length;
var setSuccess = function(filename) {
if (holder != null) {
var j=rows.length;
for (var i=0; i < j; ++i) {
var cells = $(rows[i]).find('td');
var filename=$('.filename');
var file=$('.file');
if (filename.text() == filename && file.text() != "error!")
{
var aElement=$("<a/>");
aElement.href="#";
aElement.class="file-delete ss-delete no-click";
file.html(aElement);
}
}
}
}
});

jQuery/Javascript compare two tables against each other

I need to compare two HTML tables' rows assuming that data in first cell can be duplicated but data in second cell is always unique. I need to find whether first cell AND second cell in table1 is the same as data in first cell AND second cell in table2 for instance:
Table1:
<Table>
<tr>
<td>123</td>
<td>321</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>545</td>
<td>345</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>0</td>
<td>312</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>123</td>
<td>323331</td>
</tr>
</Table>
Second table:
<table>
<tr>
<td>545</td>
<td>345</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>545</td>
<td>3122</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>123</td>
<td>321</td>
</tr>
</table>
The result of this should be:
123 321 - good, do nothing
545 345 - good, do nothing
545 3122 - wrong its not in table1 <-
Here's what I've got so far...
$('#runCheck').click(function(){
var firstTable = $('#firstDiv table tr');
var secondTable = $('#secDiv table tr');
$(secondTable).each(function(index){
var $row = $(this);
var secTableCellZero = $row.find('td')[0].innerHTML;
var secTableCellOne = $row.find('td')[1].innerHTML;
$(firstTable).each(function(indexT){
if ($(this).find('td')[0].innerHTML === secTableCellZero){
if ($(this).find('td')[1].innerHTML !== secTableCellOne){
$('#thirdDiv').append("first: " + secTableCellZero + " second: " + secTableCellOne+"<br>");
}
}
});
});
});
Where am I going it wrong?
Just to clarify once again:
2nd table says :
row1 - john|likesCookies
row2 - peter|likesOranges
1st table says :
row1 - john|likesNothing
row2 - john|likesCookies
row3 - steward|likesToTalk
row4 - peter|likesApples
now it should say :
john - value okay
peter - value fail.
a lot alike =VLOOKUP in excel

I've created two arrays which store values in each row of tables 1 and 2 as strings. Then I just compare these two arrays and see if each value in array1 has a match in array 2 using a flag variable.
Snippet :
$(document).ready(function() {
var table_one = [];
var table_two = [];
$("#one tr").each(function() {
var temp_string = "";
count = 1;
$(this).find("td").each(function() {
if (count == 2) {
temp_string += "/";
}
temp_string = temp_string + $(this).text();
count++;
});
table_one.push(temp_string);
});
$("#two tr").each(function() {
var temp_string = "";
count = 1;
$(this).find("td").each(function() {
if (count == 2) {
temp_string += "/";
temp_string = temp_string + $(this).text();
} else {
temp_string = temp_string + $(this).text();
}
count++;
});
table_two.push(temp_string);
});
var message = "";
for (i = 0; i < table_two.length; i++) {
var flag = 0;
var temp = 0;
table_two_entry = table_two[i].split("/");
table_two_cell_one = table_two_entry[0];
table_two_cell_two = table_two_entry[1];
for (j = 0; j < table_one.length; j++) {
table_one_entry = table_one[j].split("/");
table_one_cell_one = table_one_entry[0];
table_one_cell_two = table_one_entry[1];
console.log("1)" + table_one_cell_one + ":" + table_one_cell_two);
if (table_two_cell_one == table_one_cell_one) {
flag++;
if (table_one_cell_two == table_two_cell_two) {
flag++;
break;
} else {
temp = table_one_cell_two;
}
} else {}
}
if (flag == 2) {
message += table_two_cell_one + " " + table_two_cell_two + " found in first table<br>";
} else if (flag == 1) {
message += table_two_cell_one + " bad - first table has " + temp + "<br>";
} else if (flag == 0) {
message += table_two_cell_one + " not found in first table<br>";
}
}
$('#message').html(message);
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<hr>
<table id="one">
<tr>
<td>123</td>
<td>321</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>545</td>
<td>345</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>0</td>
<td>312</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>123</td>
<td>323331</td>
</tr>
</table>
<hr>
<table id="two">
<tr>
<td>545</td>
<td>345</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>545</td>
<td>3122</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>123</td>
<td>321</td>
</tr>
</table>
<hr>
<div id="message">
</div>
</div>

If I understand your requirements, it would be easier to read the first table and store the couples as strings: 123/321, 545/345, etc...
Than you can read the second table and remove from the first list all the rows found in both.
What remains in the list are couples that do not match.

From purely an efficiency standpoint if you loop through the first table just once and create an object using the first cell value as keys and an array of values for second cells, you won't have to loop through that table numerous times
this then makes the lookup simpler also
var firstTable = $('#firstDiv table tr');
var secondTable = $('#secDiv table tr');
var firstTableData = {}
firstTable.each(function() {
var $tds = $(this).find('td'),
firstCellData = $tds.eq(0).html().trim(),
secondCellData == $tds.eq(1).html().trim();
if (!firstTableData[firstCellData]) {
firstTableData[firstCellData] = []
}
firstTableData[firstCellData].push(secondCellData)
})
$(secondTable).each(function(index) {
var $tds = $(this).find('td');
var secTableCellZero = $tds.eq(0).html().trim();
var secTableCellOne = $tds.eq(1).html().trim();
if (!firstTableData.hasOwnProperty(secTableCellZero)) {
console.log('No match for first cell')
} else if (!firstTableData[secTableCellZero].indexOf(secTableCellOne) == -1) {
console.log('No match for second cell')
}
});
I'm not sure what objective is when matches aren't found

Updating row ID when swapping HTML table rows

I've been messing with manipulating HTML tables for the past few weeks and I've come across a problem I am not sure how to fix. So the collection of rows for a table can be iterated over like an array, but if you've switched out the rows a lot, won't the IDs be mixed and doesn't the browser rely on the IDs as the way to iterate over the row objects? I'm running into a problem (probably due to a lack of understanding) where the rows eventually stop moving or one row gets duplicated on top of another. Should I somehow be updating the row's ID each time it is moved? Here is my source so far for this function.
function swap(rOne, rTwo, tblID) {
tblID.rows[rOne].setAttribute('style', 'background-color:#FFFFFF');
var tBody = tblID.children[0];
var rowOne;
var rowTwo;
if (rOne > rTwo) {
rowOne = rOne;
rowTwo = rTwo;
}
else {
rowOne = rTwo;
rowTwo = rOne;
}
var swapTempOne = tblID.rows[rowOne].cloneNode(true);
var swapTempTwo = tblID.rows[rowTwo].cloneNode(true);
hiddenTable.appendChild(swapTempOne);
hiddenTable.appendChild(swapTempTwo);
tblID.deleteRow(rowOne);
var rowOneInsert = tblID.insertRow(rowOne);
var rowOneCellZero = rowOneInsert.insertCell(0);
var rowOneCellOne = rowOneInsert.insertCell(1);
var rowOneCellTwo = rowOneInsert.insertCell(2);
var rowOneCellThree = rowOneInsert.insertCell(3);
rowOneCellZero.innerHTML = hiddenTable.rows[2].cells[0].innerHTML;
rowOneCellOne.innerHTML = hiddenTable.rows[2].cells[1].innerHTML;
rowOneCellTwo.innerHTML = hiddenTable.rows[2].cells[2].innerHTML;
rowOneCellThree.innerHTML = hiddenTable.rows[2].cells[3].innerHTML;
tblID.deleteRow(rowTwo);
var rowTwoInsert = tblID.insertRow(rowTwo);
var rowTwoCellZero = rowTwoInsert.insertCell(0);
var rowTwoCellOne = rowTwoInsert.insertCell(1);
var rowTwoCellTwo = rowTwoInsert.insertCell(2);
var rowTwoCellThree = rowTwoInsert.insertCell(3);
rowTwoCellZero.innerHTML = hiddenTable.rows[1].cells[0].innerHTML;
rowTwoCellOne.innerHTML = hiddenTable.rows[1].cells[1].innerHTML;
rowTwoCellTwo.innerHTML = hiddenTable.rows[1].cells[2].innerHTML;
rowTwoCellThree.innerHTML = hiddenTable.rows[1].cells[3].innerHTML;
tblID.rows[rowOne].setAttribute('onclick', 'chkThis(event, this)');
tblID.rows[rowTwo].setAttribute('onclick', 'chkThis(event, this)');
for (iHiddenDelete = 2; iHiddenDelete >= 1; iHiddenDelete--) {
hiddenTable.deleteRow(iHiddenDelete);
}
}
EDIT: Adding HTML for page and the function for moving between tables which I suspect is causing the issue.
<body>
<form>
<input value="0" type="text" id="cubesum" size="5"/>
<input value="0" type="text" id="wgtsum" size="5"/>
</form>
<form>
<table id="tblSource">
<thead>
<tr>
<th> </th>
<th>Order</th>
<th>Cube</th>
<th>Weight</th>
<th>Move</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
</tbody>
</table>
<button type="button" onclick="move('tblSource','tblTarget')" style="width: 58px">To Trucks (Down)</button>
<button type="button" onclick="move('tblTarget', 'tblSource')" style="width: 58px">To Orders (Up)</button>
</form>
<form>
<table id="tblTarget">
<thead>
<tr>
<th> </th>
<th>Order</th>
<th>Cube</th>
<th>Weight</th>
<th>Move</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
</tbody>
</table>
</form>
<table id="hiddenTable" style="display: none"> <!--this table is hidden! -->
<thead>
<tr>
<th> </th>
<th>Order</th>
<th>Cube</th>
<th>Weight</th>
<th>Move</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
FUNCTION STARTS HERE
function move(from, to) {
var frTbl = document.getElementById(from);
var toTbl = document.getElementById(to);
chkArray.length = 0;
cbsMove = frTbl.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var oChk = 0; oChk < cbsMove.length; oChk++) {
if (cbsMove[oChk].type == 'checkbox') {
if (cbsMove[oChk].checked == true) {
var prntRow = cbsMove[oChk].parentNode.parentNode;
var prntRowIdx = prntRow.rowIndex;
chkArray.push(prntRowIdx);
cbsMove[oChk].checked = false;
}
}
}
for (iMove = chkArray.length -1; iMove >= 0; iMove--) {
var num = chkArray[iMove];
var row = frTbl.rows[num];
var cln = row.cloneNode(true);
toTbl.appendChild(cln);
frTbl.deleteRow(num);
}
sum();
}

So it turns out that my row cloning for moving between tables was causing malformed HTML where the rows would not longer be inside the table body tags. In addition, not trusting the browser to keep track of the button IDs and using the button IDs to setAttributes to the button also caused button ID overlap eventually. So, I got rid of the node cloning and did the row moving between tables the manual way and used innerHTML to add the function call inside the buttons. Upon further reflection, I've come to learn that some people actually make functions that handle ALL button clicks without calling them inside the button and route them to the proper function depending on the ID or other factors such as parent nodes of the button. Perhaps that is best. The main trick here is to STICK TO ONE METHOD. I was all over the place in how I manipulated the tables and it broke things. Here is the working source for those looking to do similar things.

Iterate over table cells, re-using rowspan values

I have a simple HTML table, which uses rowspans in some random columns. An example might look like
A | B |
---|---| C
D | |
---| E |---
F | | G
I'd like to iterate over the rows such that I see rows as A,B,C, D,E,C, then F,E,G.
I think I can probably cobble together something very convoluted using cell.index() to check for "missed" columns in later rows, but I'd like something a little more elegant...

without jquery:
function tableToMatrix(table) {
var M = [];
for (var i = 0; i < table.rows.length; i++) {
var tr = table.rows[i];
M[i] = [];
for (var j = 0, k = 0; j < M[0].length || k < tr.cells.length;) {
var c = (M[i-1]||[])[j];
// first check if there's a continuing cell above with rowSpan
if (c && c.parentNode.rowIndex + c.rowSpan > i) {
M[i].push(...Array.from({length: c.colSpan}, () => c))
j += c.colSpan;
} else if (tr.cells[k]) {
var td = tr.cells[k++];
M[i].push(...Array.from({length: td.colSpan}, () => td));
j += td.colSpan;
}
}
}
return M;
}
var M = tableToMatrix(document.querySelector('table'));
console.table(M.map(r => r.map(c => c.innerText)));
var pre = document.createElement('pre');
pre.innerText = M.map(row => row.map(c => c.innerText).join('\t')).join('\n');
document.body.append(pre);
td {
border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.3);
}
<table>
<tr>
<td colspan=2>A</td>
<td rowspan=2>B</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>C</td>
<td rowspan=3>D</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan=2>E</td>
<td rowspan=4>F</td>
</tr>
<tr></tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan=2 colspan=2>G</td>
</tr>
<tr></tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan=3 colspan=3>H</td>
</tr>
<tr></tr>
<tr></tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=3>I</td>
</tr>
</table>

Try this:
<table id="tbl">
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>

Fiddle
i am not sure about the performance, but it works well.

what I understood with your question is: You want to split the merged cell with same value and then iterate the table simply by row.
I've created a JSFiddle that will split the merged cells with the same value. Then you'll have a table that can be iterated simply by rows to get the desired output that you specified.
See it running here http://jsfiddle.net/9PZQj/3/
Here's the complete code:
<table id="tbl" border = "1">
<tr>
<td>A</td>
<td>B</td>
<td rowspan="2">C</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>D</td>
<td rowspan="2">E</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>F</td>
<td>G</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
<div id="test"> </div>
Here's the jquery that is used to manipulate the table's data.
var tempTable = $('#tbl').clone(true);
var tableBody = $(tempTable).children();
$(tableBody).children().each(function(index , item){
var currentRow = item;
$(currentRow).children().each(function(index1, item1){
if($(item1).attr("rowspan"))
{
// copy the cell
var item2 = $(item1).clone(true);
// Remove rowspan
$(item1).removeAttr("rowspan");
$(item2).removeAttr("rowspan");
// last item's index in next row
var indexOfLastElement = $(currentRow).next().last().index();
if(indexOfLastElement <= index1)
{
$(currentRow).next().append(item2)
}
else
{
// intermediate cell insertion at right position
$(item2).insertBefore($(currentRow).next().children().eq(index1))
}
}
});
console.log(currentRow)
});
$('#test').append(tempTable);

You can use this Gist. It supports all the requirements by W3C, even "rowspan=0" (which seems to be only supported by Firefox).

Finding column index using jQuery when table contains column-spanning cells

Using jQuery, how can I find the column index of an arbitrary table cell in the example table below, such that cells spanning multiple columns have multiple indexes?
HTML
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>One</td>
<td>Two</td>
<td id="example1">Three</td>
<td>Four</td>
<td>Five</td>
<td>Six</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">One</td>
<td colspan="2">Two</td>
<td colspan="2" id="example2">Three</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>One</td>
<td>Two</td>
<td>Three</td>
<td>Four</td>
<td>Five</td>
<td>Six</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
jQuery
var cell = $("#example1");
var example1ColIndex = cell.parent("tr").children().index(cell);
// == 2. This is fine.
cell = $("#example2");
var example2ColumnIndex = cell.parent("tr").children().index(cell);
// == 2. It should be 4 (or 5, but I only need the lowest). How can I do this?

Here's a plugin which can calculate the 'noncolspan' index.
$(document).ready(
function()
{
console.log($('#example2').getNonColSpanIndex()); //logs 4
console.log($('#example1').getNonColSpanIndex()); //logs 2
}
);
$.fn.getNonColSpanIndex = function() {
if(! $(this).is('td') && ! $(this).is('th'))
return -1;
var allCells = this.parent('tr').children();
var normalIndex = allCells.index(this);
var nonColSpanIndex = 0;
allCells.each(
function(i, item)
{
if(i == normalIndex)
return false;
var colspan = $(this).attr('colspan');
colspan = colspan ? parseInt(colspan) : 1;
nonColSpanIndex += colspan;
}
);
return nonColSpanIndex;
};

Mine is quite similar to SolutionYogi's, minus the creation of a plugin. It took me a bit longer... but I'm still proud of it so here it is :)
cell = $("#example2");
var example2ColumnIndex2 = 0;
cell.parent("tr").children().each(function () {
if(cell.get(0) != this){
var colIncrementor = $(this).attr("colspan");
colIncrementor = colIncrementor ? colIncrementor : 1;
example2ColumnIndex2 += parseInt(colIncrementor);
}
});
console.log(example2ColumnIndex2);

There is a more concise answer here: Get Index of a td considering the colspan using jquery
In short:
var index = 0;
$("#example2").prevAll("td").each(function() {
index += this.colSpan;
});
console.log(index);

You could do something like this:
var index = 0;
cell.parent('tr').children().each(
function(idx,node) {
if ($(node).attr('colspan')) {
index+=parseInt($(node).attr('colspan'),10);
} else {
index++;
}
return !(node === cell[0]);
}
);
console.log(index);
It'd probably make sense to do it as a plugin or via extend.

Slightly modified version is here: http://jsfiddle.net/Lijo/uGKHB/13/
//INDEX
alert ( GetNonColSpanIndex ('Type'));
function GetNonColSpanIndex(referenceHeaderCellValue) {
var selectedCell = $("th").filter(function (i) {
return ($.trim($(this).html() )) == referenceHeaderCellValue;
});
alert(selectedCell.html());
var allCells = $(selectedCell).parent('tr').children();
var normalIndex = allCells.index($(selectedCell));
var nonColSpanIndex = 0;
allCells.each(
function (i, item) {
if (i == normalIndex)
return false;
var colspan = $(selectedCell).attr('colspan');
colspan = colspan ? parseInt(colspan) : 1;
nonColSpanIndex += colspan;
}
);
return nonColSpanIndex;
};
