Question

I’ve got a table filled from database using php. When creating each line (<tr>) i’m putting it this way :

<tr onclick="selectedRow();">

I want to use the information in the table using the selectedRow() which is a javascript function.
How can i get the elements inside the tr?

Thanks.

Answer 1

<tr onclick="selectedRow.call(this, event);">

function selectedRow(event) {
    alert(this.rowIndex);
    alert(this.cells[0]);
    alert(this.cells[0].innerHTML);
}

“I want to select the row and use all the cells in it “

You can loop the cells like this…

function selectedRow(event) {
    for (var i = 0, len = this.cells.length; i < len; i++) {
        alert(this.cells[i].textContent || this.cells[i].innerText);
    }
}
