I have been attempting to generate an HTML table that is filled with objects.
The goal was to make the table selectable by row (via hover), triggering a function when the row is hovered over.
Here are the table headers stored in an array:
var topTitles = ["Type","Origin","Destination","T","A","G"];
All the data is contained within arrays:
var Type = [];
var Origin = [];
var Destination = [];
var T = [];
var A = [];
var G = [];
I tried modifying some example code, but it was challenging to grasp and implement into a programmatic solution. Is there a simpler way to directly map such data into an interactive table?
function createTable() {
var table = document.getElementById('matrix');
var tr = addRow(table);
for (var j = 0; j < 6; j++) {
var td = addElement(tr);
td.setAttribute("class", "headers");
td.appendChild(document.createTextNode(topTitles[j]));
}
for (var i = 0; i < origins.length; i++) {
var tr = addRow(table);
var td = addElement(tr);
td.setAttribute("class", "origin");
td.appendChild(document.createTextNode(mode[i]));
for (var j = 0; j < topTitles.length; j++) {
var td = addElement(tr, 'element-' + i + '-' + j);
td.onmouseover = getRouteFunction(i,j);
td.onclick = getRouteFunction(i,j);
}
}
}
function populateTable(rows) {
for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
for (var j = 0; j < rows[i].elements.length; j++) {
var distance = rows[i].elements[j].distance.text;
var duration = rows[i].elements[j].duration.text;
var td = document.getElementById('element-' + i + '-' + j);
td.innerHTML = origins[i] + "<br/>" + destinations[j];
}
}
if (highlightedCell) {
highlightedCell.style.backgroundColor="#ffffff";
}
highlightedCell = document.getElementById('element-' + i + '-' + j);
highlightedCell.style.backgroundColor="#e0ffff";
showValues();
}
