Question

I have a table, which I want to split into rows of x, which should be removed from the table and added to subpages I’m creating. I can slice the table, but detach() doesn’t work and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Here is what I have:

    var rows = $( table ).find( "tbody tr, TBODY TR" ).toArray(),
        splitRows = [];

    for( i = 0; i < rows.length; i += rowsPerPageS ){

       // table rows for each subpage
       var takeAway = splitRows.push( rows.slice(i, i + rowsPerPageS ) );

       // split the tabel and create subpages
       newPage = takeAway.detach()
                         .wrap(...
       }

Question:
Console tells me takeAway.detach is not a function and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. How do I remove my sliced table-rows and wrap them correctly?

Answer 1

Just found the solution. This works:

var rows = $( table ).find( "tbody tr, TBODY TR" )
    splitRows = [];

for( i = 0; i < rows.length; i += rowsPerPageS ){

    // split table into array
    splitRows.push( rows.slice(i, i + rowsPerPageS ) );

    // table rows for each subpage
    var takeAway = splitRows[i],
        newPage;

    // split the table and create subpages
    newPage = takeAway.detach()
                      .wrap...

So I guess I need to split into the array first and then takeaway the respective array elements.

Thanks for helping!
