Body
copied!<p>I have a table that is generated on the fly, as it is generating its TDs, I want to set the first TD to be a button. Below is my code, obviously doesn't work. I remember from another problem I had that we can change the content of a div using the .html(), but that doesnt work here neither.</p> <p>Code:</p> <pre><code> var table = document.getElementById("userinfo"); var thead, tr, td; table.appendChild(thead = document.createElement("thead")); thead.appendChild(tr = document.createElement("tr")); tr.appendChild(td = document.createElement("td")); td.innerHTML = "Email"; tr.appendChild(td = document.createElement("td")); td.innerHTML = "First Name"; tr.appendChild(td = document.createElement("td")); td.innerHTML = "Last Name"; tr.appendChild(td = document.createElement("td")); td.innerHTML = "Is Active?"; for (var i in data) { tr = document.createElement("tr"); tr.setAttribute("id", "row" + i); if (i%2 == 0) { tr.setAttribute("style", "background:white"); } var entry = data[i]; console.log(entry); table.appendChild(tr); tr.appendChild(td = document.createElement("td")); td.setAttribute("html", "<input type=\"button\" class=\"btn\" value=\'" + entry.email + "\" onclick=\"" + chooseUser(entry) + "\"/>"); tr.appendChild(td = document.createElement("td")); td.innerHTML = entry.first_name; tr.appendChild(td = document.createElement("td")); td.innerHTML = entry.last_name; tr.appendChild(td = document.createElement("td")); td.innerHTML = entry.isActive; } </code></pre>
