Note : The Cells collection is Internet Explorer 4.0 specific. For properties, methods and events that are supported by <TD>
and <TH>
elements, see their respective topics.
The Cells collection is an ordered, indexed array, containing a reference to every cell in contained in a referenced <TR>
element. This is a collection containing <TH>
and <TD>
elements.
Cell Objects would normally be retrieved by their index in the Cells collection (for example document.MyTR.cells(3)
contains a reference to the 4th cell in the table row referenced by the MyTR
reference (this could be the rows ID
attribute), but a string value can be used, as long as that string is a valid identifier (ID
attribute value) for an element in the document.
E.g.
document.MyTR.cells('MyGreyCell').width
...would return the value of the WIDTH
attribute for the <TH>
or <TD>
element whose ID
property is MyGreyCell
, contained in the <TR>
element referenced by MyTR
length
The length
property returns the number of elements in the collection. Note that the length
count starts at 1, not 0 as the cells collection index does. Therefore, the length
property may return a value of 5, but to access the 3rd cell, you'd need to use document.MyTR.cells(2).property
item
The item
method retrieves single items, or sub-collections from the cells collection. It accepts the following arguments:
<TR>
reference.item(index, sub-index)
If index
is a number, then the method returns a reference to the cell object at that position in the cell collections index.
If the index
argument is a string value, then the item
method returns a sub-collection, containing a reference to every cell in the row that has its ID
or NAME
attribute set to the string contained in the index
argument. To retrieve certain element objects from this sub-collection, the sub-index
argument must be used.
tags
The tags
method returns a collection of cell objects whose tagName
property is the same as the tag
argument used for the method. This differs from the item
property in that that interrogates ID
and NAME
values if necessary.
document.MyTR.cells.tags('TD')
would return a collection of just the <TD>
cell objects in the row.
