Write to Table <TD> -TD id ? – Simple Question

@hdoggJun 11.2007

So I use document.form_name.input_cell.value to write to a form… What do I do to write to a table cell? <td> or just on the html page instead of being contained in the form?

If you have:

[code=html]
 <td id="myId">
 [/code]

you should be able to

[code=php]
 
 document.getElementById('myId').innerHTML = "your_text";
 [/code]

This works for sure for div's I haven't tried it for tds.

@c00lryguyJun 11.2007 — #I'm 100% sure innerHTML works for TDs.

@hdoggauthorJun 11.2007 — #could i put a div tag in a cell and do it that way? so it would be <td><div id=myid> </div></td>

@c00lryguyJun 11.2007 — #Absolutely, thats exactly what I use with the current code I'm working on, but the innerHTML didn't work for the TD?

@JMRKERJun 11.2007 — #Worked great for me with this simple test:

[code=php]
 <html>
 <head>
 <title>Table ID test</title>
 <script type="text/javascript">
 function TDwrite() {
 var cell = 'RC'+document.getElementById('RCcell').value;
 var info = document.getElementById('RCinfo').value;
 document.getElementById(cell).innerHTML = info;
 }
 </script>
 </head>
 
 <body>
 <h1>Table ID Text</h1>
 <input type="text" id="RCcell" value="">RC (00 to 44) <br />
 <input type="text" id="RCinfo" value="">Information
 <button onClick="TDwrite()">Write It</button>
 <p />
 
 <script type="text/javascript">
 var str = '<table border="1">';
 var cell = '';
 for (r=0; r<5; r++) {
 str += '<tr>';
 for (c=0; c<5; c++) {
 cell = 'RC'+r.toString()+c.toString();
 str += '<td id="'+cell+'">'+cell+'</td>';
 }
 str += '</tr>';
 }
 str += '</table>';
 document.write(str);
 </script>
 </body>
 </html>
 [/code]

Don't know if I'll ever need it, but it's nice to know it can be done! ?
