Create an element using javascript

I have a html table
<table id = "rpttable" name = "rpttable">
<thead>
Column Headers here...
</thead>
<tbody id = "rptbody" name = "rptbody">
data here <3 ....
</tbody>
</table>
and here is my php (sample.php)
<?php
Query Code here..
Query Code there..
and so on
//this is the way I populate a table
while (query rows) {
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>Sample Data</td>';
echo '</tr>;
}
?>
So to make this work and to populate the table this is what I do.
<table id = "rpttable" name = "rpttable">
<thead>
Column Headers here...
</thead>
<tbody id = "rptbody" name = "rptbody">
<?php
include 'folder_location/sample.php';
?>
</tbody>
</table>
Disregard the image of the ouput but when I go to Inspect Element or even Ctrl + u I will see my table structure now is like this.
<table id = "rpttable" name = "rpttable">
<thead>
Column Headers here...
</thead>
<tbody id = "rptbody" name = "rptbody">
<tr>
<td>Sample Data</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Now here is the thing. I do not do that this is what I do.
$("#rpttable tr").remove();
for (i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
tr = $("<tr />");
for (x in data[i]) {
td = $("<td />");
td.html(data[i][x]);
tr.append(td);
}
rpttable.append(tr);
}
Same output It does populate the table but when I go to Inspect Element or even Ctrl + u the output is.
<table id = "rpttable" name = "rpttable">
<thead>
Column Headers here...
</thead>
<tbody id = "rptbody" name = "rptbody">
**This is the part missing**
</tbody>
</table>
My question here is how can I literaly create an element usung javascript/ajax? same output in php. I mean write the element.
** Updated **
I am trying to run a css class from an external file and If I manualy edit it to suits my needs I will a long hour and also Its hard for me to explain its a class for table. I tried to use that class using default value in <table>. You know manualy write it at the back end. now Im trying to populate it using a php and ajax so, so far so good it does populate but when I try to run the class the class does not work.

Using jquery you can add html rows to the tbody using:
$("#rptbody").html("<tr><td>value</td></tr>");
Is this what you want to do?

You can use JQuery append() method:
$('#rptbody').append('<tr><td>my data</td><td>more data</td></tr>');
In case you need to insert after last row:
$('#rptbody> tbody:last-child').append('<tr>...</tr><tr>...</tr>');

for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
let tr = $("<tr />");
for (j=0; j < 5;j++)
tr.append($("<td />",{html:j,class:"tbl"}));
$("tbody").append(tr);
}
.tbl{border:1px solid pink;}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table>
<tbody></tbody>
</table>

You have asked roughly two questions. Let's break it down.
My question here is how can I literaly create an element usung javascript/ajax?
You are already doing this with your Javascript (client-side) code. It looks like you're using jQuery syntax, so we'll stick with that. This does create an element and inserts it into the page.
var $el = $("<div>I'm a new div element</div>");
$('body').append( $el );
This creates a new element, assigns it to the $el variable, and then appends it to the body of the page. This will not show up in "View Page Source" view, however. Why? Because this modifies the DOM -- the Dynamic Object Model.
To see this new element, you'll either need to look at the rendered output (what the user/you sees), or open up your browser's DevTools (often <F12>, or right-click -> inspect). In the DevTools, find the "Inspector" tab (or equivalent), then look for your new element in this live view of the DOM.
... same output in php.
In short, you can't. What Ctrl+U / View Page Source shows is the page as it was initially received from the server. This would be the exact content you would see if you were to use a command line tool, like curl or wget:
curl http://url.to.your.com/page
Since you include 'folder_location/sample.php' at the server, this is included in the page before the browser sees it. For your edification, I would consider reading up on the DOM.

Try this:
$("#rpttable tbody tr").remove();
var content = '' ;
for (i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
content += "<tr>" ;
for (x in data[i]) {
content += "<td>" + data[i][x] + "</td>" ;
}
content += "</tr>" ;
}
$("#rpttable tbody").html(content) ;
Updated
I am using Google Chrome too. Please try the below code, and check the inspect element each time you add a new row. You can see the html in the Inspect Element changing!
function AppendNewRowToTable() {
var trLen = $("table tbody tr").length ;
var content = "" ;
content += "<tr>" ;
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
content += "<td>" + trLen + "-" + i + "</td>" ;
}
content += "</tr>" ;
$("table tbody").append(content) ;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Add new Row
<br />
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Title 01</th>
<th>Title 02</th>
<th>Title 03</th>
<th>Title 04</th>
<th>Title 05</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody></tbody>
</table>

It seems your intent is to append extra rows to the table in your html response generated from your PHP script.
For that you don't need to clear all existing rows.
$("#rpttable tr").remove();
Build an array of rows and append once to your table body.
var $tbody = $('#rptbody');
var tableRowAdditions = [];
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
var $tr = $("<tr></tr>");
for (var x in data[i]) {
var $td = $("<td></td>");
$td.html(data[i][x]);
$tr.append(td);
}
tableRowAdditions.push(tr);
}
$tbody.append(tableRowAdditions);

For a "pure" JavaScript approach, you can create elements using the createElement Web API
For example:
A paragraph with text "Hello" would be
var container = document.getElementById('rptbody');
var hello = document.createTextNode('Hello');
var helloParagraph = Document.createElement('p');
// Add text to paragraph
helloParagraph.appendChild(hello);
// Append to container
container.appendChild(helloParagraph);

The best way to create elements using jQuery is to use the following format:
// Create the TR and TD elements as jQuery objects.
var tr = $("<tr></tr>", {
"id":"tr1",
"class":"tr"
});
var td = $("<td></td>", {
"id":"td1",
"class":"td",
"text": "Sample Data",
click: function() {
// optional: Function to attach a click event on the object
alert("Clicked!");
}
});
// Attach the element to the document by appending it
// inside rptbody (after all existing content inside #rptbody)
$("#rptbody").append(tr);
tr.append(td);
// OR, Attach the element to the document by prepending it
// inside rptbody (before all existing content in #rptbody)
$("#rptbody").prepend(tr);
tr.append(td);
// OR, Attach the element to the document by completely replacing the content of #rptbody
$("#rptbody").html(tr);
tr.append(td);
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table id = "rpttable" name = "rpttable">
<thead>
Column Headers here...
</thead>
<tbody id = "rptbody" name = "rptbody">
</tbody>
</table>

How to change the color of a table row from javascript after closing a pop up which is opened using a button in the table row

I have requirement to change the color of a table row as below
A table is having multiple lines, each having a button/image. When the user clicks on this button/image on a particular line, a pop up is opened. After saving the data successfully, the row from which the pop up is opened has to change its color. Here table, rows and cells are already having id's and style classes.
For this I used various ways as below
1.
window.opener.document.getElementById('rowId'+lineNumber).style.backgroundColor="#00FF00";
2.
window.opener.document.getElementById('rowId'+lineNumber).className="innerrowcss";
3.
var tbl = window.opener.document.getElementById('linesTableId');
tbl.rows[lineNumber].style.backgroundColor="#00FF00";
or
tbl.rows[lineNumber].style.className="innerrowcss";
None of the above options helped me changing the color of the required row.
Please help me in achieving this.
Thanks,
Eshwari

is rowID + lineNumber the tr? this does´nt work. Search the <td> inside.
var id = 2;
var el = document.querySelectorAll('table .rowId' + id + ' td');
// go trough all <td>´s and add the color
for( var i = 0, len = el.length; i < len; i++) {
el[i].style.background = 'red';
}
<table>
<tr class="rowId1">
<td>row 1</td><td>row 1.1</td>
</tr>
<tr class="rowId2">
<td>row 2</td><td>row 2.1</td>
</tr>
</table>

How can I update the attributes of an HTML element inside a table cell?

I have a table which looks essentially like this
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<table class="ui table" id="items">
<tbody>
<tr data-toggle="fieldset-entry">
<td><input id="items-0-quantity" name="items-0-quantity" type="text" value=""></td>
<td><input id="items-0-description" name="items-0-description" type="text" value=""></td>
</tr>
</body>
</html>
Using javascript, I'd like to have a button which adds a new row to the table, and I'd like the inputs in that new row to have id="items-1-xxx", and name="items-1-xxx, i.e. where there's a 0 in the original row I'd like a 1 in the new row.
I can make a new table row by cloning the old one, but I have not figured out how to modify the name and id attributes of the input.
Here's a sketch of what I've tried:
function cloneRow() {
var table = document.getElementById("items");
var original_row = table.rows[table.rows.length - 1];
var new_row = original_row.cloneNode(true);
// We have a new row and now we need to modify it as
// described in the question. The only way I've found
// is to grab the inner HTML:
var cell_contents = original_row.cells[0].innerHTML;
// Now we could do a bunch of string parsing and manipulations
// to increment the 0 to a 1 and stuff the modified HTML into
// new_row, but it seems there must be a better way.
// Finally insert the new row into the table.
original_row.parentNode.insertBefore(new_row, original_row.nextSibling);
}
What is the right way to update the input elements' id and name?

You could just build a new <td> and assign document.querySelectorAll('#items tr').length as the x in items-x-...:
function addItem() {
var items = document.querySelector('#items')
, itemcount = items.querySelectorAll('tr').length
, newitemQuantityText = 'items-' + itemcount + '-quantity'
, newitemDescriptionText = 'items-' + itemcount + '-description'
, newitem = document.createElement('tr')
, newitemQuantity = document.createElement('td')
, newitemDescription = document.createElement('td')
, newitemQuantityInput = document.createElement('input')
, newitemDescriptionInput = document.createElement('input');
newitemQuantityInput.id = newitemQuantityText;
newitemQuantityInput.name = newitemQuantityText;
newitemQuantity.appendChild(newitemQuantityInput);
newitemDescriptionInput.id = newitemDescriptionText;
newitemDescriptionInput.name = newitemDescriptionText;
newitemDescription.appendChild(newitemDescriptionInput);
newitem.appendChild(newitemQuantity);
newitem.appendChild(newitemDescription);
document.querySelector('#items').appendChild(newitem);
}
document.querySelector('#add').addEventListener('click', addItem);
<button id="add">add item</button>
<table id="items"></table>
However using good old innerHTML reads way better:
function addItem() {
var items = document.querySelector('#items')
, itemcount = items.querySelectorAll('tr').length;
items.innerHTML += '<tr><td>' +
'<input id="item-' + itemcount + '-quantity" name="item-' + itemcount + '-quantity">' +
'</td><td>' +
'<input id="item-' + itemcount + '-description" name="item-' + itemcount + '-description">' +
'</td></tr>';
}
document.querySelector('#add').addEventListener('click', addItem);
<button id="add">add item</button>
<table id="items">
</table>

You can separately reconstruct the node itself by using
createAttribute()
createElement()
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ztb9gq3d/1/

This is not the data oriented approach the question asks for, but a reasonably simple solution is
numRows = table.rows.length;
// Use a regexp so we can replace all instances of the number
// corresponding to what is currently the last table row.
var re = new RegExp((numRows - 1).toString(), "g")
for (var i = 0; i <= originalRow.cells.length - 1; i++) {
var originalHTML = originalRow.cells[i].innerHTML;
var newHTML = originalHTML.replace(re, numRows.toString());
newRow.cells[i].innerHTML = newHTML;
}
Obviously this only works if the number we replace doesn't exist elsewhere in the HTML string, so this is not a particularly good solution.
However, we could use a more complex regexp.
This solution does have the advantage that we don't need to hard-code anything except the parts we want to replace into the regexp.
Therefore, if the HTML in the table were to acquire additional parts in future development this solution will still work, up to the quality of the regexp as already mentioned.

Jquery group by td with same class

I have the current table data:
<table>
<tr class="Violão">
<td>Violão</td>
<td class="td2 8">8</td>
</tr>
<tr class="Violão">
<td>Violão</td>
<td class="td2 23">23</td>
</tr>
<tr class="Guitarra">
<td>Guitarra</td>
<td class="td2 16">16</td>
</tr>
</table>
What I want to do is groupby the TDs which are the same, and sum the values on the second td to get the total. With that in mind I´ve put the name of the product to be a class on the TR (don't know if it is needed)
and I've coded the current javascript:
$(".groupWrapper").each(function() {
var total = 0;
$(this).find(".td2").each(function() {
total += parseInt($(this).text());
});
$(this).append($("<td></td>").text('Total: ' + total));
});
by the way the current java scripr doesn't groupby.
Now i'm lost, I don't know what else I can do, or if there is a pluging that does what I want.

</tr class="Violão"> This doesn't make sense. You only close the tag: </tr>. And I'm assuming you know that since the rest of your code is proper (except for your classnames. Check this question out).
If you want to add the values of each <td> with a class of td2, see below.
Try this jQuery:
var sum = 0;
$(".td2").each(function(){
sum = sum + $(this).text();
});
This should add each number within the tds to the variable sum.

<table>
<tr class="Violão">
<td>Violão</td>
<td class="td2 8">8</td>
</tr>
<tr class="Violão">
<td>Violão</td>
<td class="td2 23">23</td>
</tr class="Violão">
<tr class="Guitarra">
<td>Guitarra</td>
<td class="td2 16">16</td>
</tr>
</table>
var dictionary = {};
$("td").each(function(){
if(!dictionary[$(this).attr("class"))
dictionary[$(this).attr("class")] = 0;
dictionary[$(this).attr("class")] += parseInt($(this).html());
});

// declare an array to hold unique class names
var dictionary = [];
// Cycle through the table rows
$("table tr").each(function() {
var thisName = $(this).attr("class");
// Add them to the array if they aren't in it.
if ($.inArray(thisName, dictionary) == -1) {
dictionary.push(thisName);
}
});
// Cycle through the array
for(var obj in dictionary) {
var className = dictionary[obj];
var total = 0;
// Cycle through all tr's with the current class, get the amount from each, add them to the total
$("table tr." + className).each(function() {
total += parseInt($(this).children(".td2").text());
});
// Append a td with the total.
$("table tr." + className).append("<td>Total: " + total + "</td>");
}
Fiddler (on the roof): http://jsfiddle.net/ABRsj/

assuming the tr only has one class given!
var sums = [];
$('.td2').each(function(){
var val = $(this).text();
var parentClass = $(this).parent().attr('class');
if(sums[parentClass] != undefined) sums[parentClass] +=parseFloat(val);
else sums[parentClass] = parseFloat(val);
});
for(var key in sums){
$('<tr><td>Total ('+key+')</td><td>'+sums[key]+'</td></tr>').appendTo($('table'));
}
I would give the table some ID and change to appendTo($('#<thID>'))

The solution:
http://jsfiddle.net/sLysV/2/

First stick and ID on the table and select that first with jQuery as matching an ID is always the most efficient.
Then all you need to do is match the class, parse the string to a number and add them up. I've created a simple example for you below
http://jsfiddle.net/Phunky/Vng7F/
But what you didn't make clear is how your expecting to get the value of the td class, if this is dynamic and can change you could make it much more versatile but hopefully this will give you a bit of understanding about where to go from here.

Get the value of a tables's cell depending on the x and y coordinates

as i am new to jQuery i would like to ask the following, i have a table like this:
<table id="lettersGrid" border="1">
<tr>
<td>..</td>
<td>..</td>
<td>..</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>..</td>
<td>..</td>
<td>..</td>
</tr>
</table>
i want to use jQuery to get the value of a specific cell depending on the x and y position of it, so i have
$("td").mouseover(function(){
x=this.parentNode.rowIndex; //get the x coordinate of the cell
y=this.cellIndex; //get the y coordinate of the cell
//??whats next??
});
any help?

If all you want is the content of the cell that you are "mouseing-over"
$('td').mouseover(function(){
var content = $(this).html();
//do whatever you like with the content....
});
Edited: Use the index function to get the col/row values
$('td').mouseover(function(){
col = $(this).parent().children().index($(this));
row = $(this).parent().parent().children().index($(this).parent());
});
To Select similar rows:
$('table tr').eq(row).find('td');
To Select similar cols:
$('table tr').each(function() {
$(this).find('td').eq(col);
}
To find the value of a specific row + col
$('table tr').eq(row).find('td').eq(col).html();

i had told it at a comment before but just to be clear enough for someone with the same problem,i have found something really interesting that solved my problem, it was that simple:
$('#lettersGrid tr:eq(1) td:eq(1)').html();to get the element at col=1 row=1 starting from 0
or
$('#lettersGrid tr:nth-child(1) td:nth-child(1)').html(); to get the element at col=1 row=1 starting from 1

DEMO fiddle
$("button").click(function() {
var row = $('input.enterRow').val()- 1; // -1 CAUSE .eq() IS zero BASED
var cell = $('input.enterCell').val()- 1;
var value = $('#lettersGrid tr:eq(' + row + ') >td:eq(' + cell + ')').html();
$('.result').html( value ); // PRINT VALUE
});
