Question

I have a little problem, what I need is to read data from this HTML table, problem is I do not know how much table rows I’ll have because I put data in it from MySQL select, so what I really want is after select, to add some data in the HTML table to be specific:

<td><input type="text" size="5px"></td>

and on button click to read data from all new table rows inputs.

<table style="display:inline">
<tr>
<td></td>
<th>Home team</th>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<th>Away team</th>
</tr>

<?php
$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {
$Tim1=mysql_result($result,$i,"HomeTeamID");    
$Tim1Name=mysql_result($result,$i,"HomeTeam");
$Tim2=mysql_result($result,$i,"AwayTeamID");
$Tim2Name=mysql_result($result,$i,"AwayTeam");      
$rez=mysql_result($result,$i,"MatchID");        

?>
<tr>
<td class="ID" id="<?php echo $rez;?>"><input value="<?php echo $rez;?>" 
 name="<?php echo $rez;?>" type="hidden" style="display: none">
</td>
<td><label style="padding-right:10px" ><?php echo($Tim1Name); ?></label></td>

<td><input type="text" size="5px"></td>

<td><label>:</label></td>

<td><input type="text" size="5px"></td>

<td><label style="padding-left:10px"><?php echo($Tim2Name); ?></label></td>
</tr>

        <?php
        $i++;
    }   
    ?>
 <tr align="right" style="padding-top:5px">
 <td></td>
 <td></td>
 <td></td>
 <td></td>
 <td></td>
 <td><input type="submit" value="Insert" name="Insert"></td>
 </tr>
 </table>   

If you did not understand my question, ask what ever you want and I’ll answer.

Answer 1

You can loop through the table using JQuery and extract values. I can’t understand what is the purpose of reading the data again from the table.. but try the code below:

suppose you have an id for your table,

<table id='teams_table'>

Then use this JQuery script to loop through table rows;

var cells = 6; //number of collumns
var cell_text = '';

$('tr',$('#teams_table')).each(function(){
  for(var i = 0 ; i < cells ; i++){
    cell_text = $(this).find('td').eq(i).text();
    //do what ever you want with cell_text
  }
});

If you want more help, please describe your scenario in more detail.

Hope this helps! 🙂
