Variables

align:String

Is a DOMString containing an enumerated value reflecting the align attribute. It indicates the alignment of the element's contents with respect to the surrounding context. The possible values are "left", "right", and "center".

bgColor:String

Is a DOMString containing the background color of the cells. It reflects the obsolete bgColor attribute.

border:String

Is a DOMString containing the width in pixels of the border of the table. It reflects the obsolete border attribute.

caption:TableCaptionElement

Is a HTMLTableCaptionElement representing the first caption that is a child of the element, or null if none is found. When set, if the object doesn't represent a caption, a DOMException with the HierarchyRequestError name is thrown. If a correct object is given, it is inserted in the tree as the first child of this element and the first caption that is a child of this element is removed from the tree, if any.

cellPadding:String

Is a DOMString containing the width in pixels of the horizontal and vertical sapce between cell content and cell borders. It reflects the obsolete cellpadding attribute.

cellSpacing:String

Is a DOMString containing the width in pixels of the horizontal and vertical separation between cells. It reflects the obsolete cellspacing attribute.

frame:String

Is a DOMString containing the type of the external borders of the table. It reflects the obsolete frame attribute and can take one of the following values: "void", "above", "below", "hsides", "vsides", "lhs", "rhs", "box", or "border".

read onlyrows:HTMLCollection

Returns a live HTMLCollection containing all the rows of the element, that is all tr that are a child of the element, or a child or one of its thead, tbody and tfoot children. The rows members of a thead appear first, in tree order, and those members of a tbody last, also in tree order. The HTMLCollection is live and is automatically updated when the HTMLTableElement changes.

rules:String

Is a DOMString containing the type of the internal borders of the table. It reflects the obsolete rules attribute and can take one of the following values: "none", "groups", "rows", "cols", or "all".

summary:String

Is a DOMString containing a description of the purpose or the structure of the table. It reflects the obsolete summary attribute.

read onlytBodies:HTMLCollection

Returns a live HTMLCollection containing all the tbody of the element. The HTMLCollection is live and is automatically updated when the HTMLTableElement changes.

tFoot:TableSectionElement

Is a HTMLTableSectionElement representing the first tfoot that is a child of the element, or null if none is found. When set, if the object doesn't represent a tfoot, a DOMException with the HierarchyRequestError name is thrown. If a correct object is given, it is inserted in the tree immediately before the first element that is neither a caption, a colgroup, nor a thead, or as the last child if there is no such element, and the first tfoot that is a child of this element is removed from the tree, if any.

tHead:TableSectionElement

Is a HTMLTableSectionElement representing the first thead that is a child of the element, or null if none is found. When set, if the object doesn't represent a thead, a DOMException with the HierarchyRequestError name is thrown. If a correct object is given, it is inserted in the tree immediately before the first element that is neither a caption, nor a colgroup, or as the last child if there is no such element, and the first thead that is a child of this element is removed from the tree, if any.

width:String

Is a DOMString containing the length in pixels or in percentage of the desired width fo the entire table. It reflects the obsolete width attribute.

Methods

createCaption ():Element

Returns an HTMLElement representing the first caption that is a child of the element. If none is found, a new one is created and inserted in the tree as the first child of the table element.

createTHead ():Element

Returns an HTMLElement representing the first thead that is a child of the element. If none is found, a new one is created and inserted in the tree immediately before the first element that is neither a caption, nor a colgroup, or as the last child if there is no such element.

deleteCaption ():Void

Removes the first caption that is a child of the element.

deleteRow (index:Int):Void

Throws:

null

DOMError

deleteTFoot ():Void

Removes the first tfoot that is a child of the element.

deleteTHead ():Void

Removes the first thead that is a child of the element.

Throws:

null

DOMError

Defined by Node

read onlybaseURI:String

Returns a DOMString representing the base URL. The concept of base URL changes from one language to another; in HTML, it corresponds to the protocol, the domain name and the directory structure, that is all until the last '/'.

read onlychildNodes:NodeList

Returns a live NodeList containing all the children of this node. NodeList being live means that if the children of the Node change, the NodeList object is automatically updated.

read onlyfirstChild:Node

Returns a Node representing the first direct child node of the node, or null if the node has no child.

read onlylastChild:Node

Returns a Node representing the last direct child node of the node, or null if the node has no child.

read onlylocalName:String

Returns a DOMString representing the local part of the qualified name of an element.

Note: In Firefox 3.5 and earlier, the property upper-cases the local name for HTML elements (but not XHTML elements). In later versions, this does not happen, so the property is in lower case for both HTML and XHTML. 1.9.2

read onlynamespaceURI:String

The namespace URI of this node, or null if it is no namespace.

Note: In Firefox 3.5 and earlier, HTML elements are in no namespace. In later versions, HTML elements are in the https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/ namespace in both HTML and XML trees. 1.9.2

read onlynextSibling:Node

Returns a Node representing the next node in the tree, or null if there isn't such node.

read onlynodeName:String

Returns a DOMString containing the name of the Node. The structure of the name will differ with the name type. E.g. An HTMLElement will contain the name of the corresponding tag, like 'audio' for an HTMLAudioElement, a Text node will have the '#text' string, or a Document node will have the '#document' string.

read onlynodeType:Int

Returns an unsigned short representing the type of the node. Possible values are:

Name Value

ELEMENT_NODE 1
ATTRIBUTE_NODE (deprecated) 2
TEXT_NODE 3
CDATA_SECTION_NODE (deprecated) 4
ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE (deprecated) 5
ENTITY_NODE (deprecated) 6
PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE 7
COMMENT_NODE 8
DOCUMENT_NODE 9
DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE 10
DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE 11
NOTATION_NODE (deprecated) 12

nodeValue:String

Returns / Sets the value of the current node

read onlyownerDocument:HTMLDocument

Returns the Document that this node belongs to. If no document is associated with it, returns null.

read onlyparentElement:Element

Returns an Element that is the parent of this node. If the node has no parent, or if that parent is not an Element, this property returns null.

read onlyparentNode:Node

Returns a Node that is the parent of this node. If there is no such node, like if this node is the top of the tree or if doesn't participate in a tree, this property returns null.

read onlyprefix:String

Is a DOMString representing the namespace prefix of the node, or null if no prefix is specified.

read onlypreviousSibling:Node

Returns a Node representing the previous node in the tree, or null if there isn't such node.

textContent:String

Returns / Sets the textual content of an element and all its descendants.
