Getting value from table cell in JavaScript…not jQuery

Question

I can\'t believe how long this has taken me but I can\'t seem to figure out how to extract a cell value from an HTML table as I iterate through the table with JavaScript. I

Answer 1

A few problems:

• The loop conditional in your for statements is an assignment, not a loop check, so it might infinite loop

• You should use the item() function on those rows/cells collections, not sure if array index works on those (not actually JS arrays)

• You should declare the row/col objects to ensure their scope is correct.

Here is an updated example:

var refTab=document.getElementById("ddReferences") 
var  ttl; 
// Loop through all rows and columns of the table and popup alert with the value 
// /content of each cell. 
for ( var i = 0; i

Replace innerText with innerHTML if you want HTML, not the text contents.
