The HTMLTableElement interface provides special properties and methods (beyond the regular HTMLElement object interface it also has available to it by inheritance) for manipulating the layout and presentation of tables in an HTML document.

Properties

Inherits properties from its parent, HTMLElement.

HTMLTableElement.caption
Is a HTMLTableCaptionElement representing the first <caption> that is a child of the element, or null if none is found. When set, if the object doesn't represent a <caption>, a DOMException with the HierarchyRequestError name is thrown. If a correct object is given, it is inserted in the tree as the first child of this element and the first <caption> that is a child of this element is removed from the tree, if any.
HTMLTableElement.tHead
Is a HTMLTableSectionElement representing the first <thead> that is a child of the element, or null if none is found. When set, if the object doesn't represent a <thead>, a DOMException with the HierarchyRequestError name is thrown. If a correct object is given, it is inserted in the tree immediately before the first element that is neither a <caption>, nor a <colgroup>, or as the last child if there is no such element, and the first <thead> that is a child of this element is removed from the tree, if any.
HTMLTableElement.tFoot
Is a HTMLTableSectionElement representing the first <tfoot> that is a child of the element, or null if none is found. When set, if the object doesn't represent a <tfoot>, a DOMException with the HierarchyRequestError name is thrown. If a correct object is given, it is inserted in the tree immediately before the first element that is neither a <caption>, a <colgroup>, nor a <thead>, or as the last child if there is no such element, and the first <tfoot> that is a child of this element is removed from the tree, if any.
HTMLTableElement.rows Read only
Returns a live HTMLCollection containing all the rows of the element, that is all <tr> that are a child of the element, or a child or one of its <thead>, <tbody> and <tfoot> children.

The HTMLCollection is live and is automatically updated when the HTMLTableElement changes.

HTMLTableElement.deleteTHead()
Removes the first <thead> that is a child of the element.
HTMLTableElement.createTFoot()
Returns an HTMLElement representing the first <tfoot> that is a child of the element. If none is found, a new one is created and inserted in the tree immediately before the first element that is neither a <caption>, a <colgroup>, nor a <thead>, or as the last child if there is no such element.
HTMLTableElement.deleteTFoot()

HTMLTableElement.insertRow()
Returns an HTMLTableRowElement representing a new row of the table. It inserts it in the rows collection immediately before the <tr> element at the given index position.

If the index is smaller than -1 or greater than the number of rows in the collection, a DOMException with the value IndexSizeError is raised.
