Problem with html and javascript

And here I am...working in a company where it's mandatory for a manufacturing engineer to atleast have a basic unserstanding of networking/application development/databases so they can possibly optimize the manufacturing process. Even if not fixing it, but atleast being able to point out and describe the problem to the IT department...

 

No. You're gonna get downvoted to oblivion. As a general rule, you don't ask homework questions on SO. It's frowned upon, especially if you set a deadline ("tomorrow night", in this case).

Might get away with it if you're really lucky though. If OP thinks he's got his lucky star shining today, he's welcome to try.

 

You sure its manufacturing engineer? I deal with quality shit (ISO) im nowhere near touching the assembly line

 

Then what can i do? how do i change those insert.cell to appendchild and createElement? I am really desperate dude..

 

I don't really get what you're confused about. You simply use appendChild instead of insertCell, because you'll be using a list. Simply put, you have a list (most likely empty at first, though you may put boilerplate in there), and some kind of input (text box, probably), and a button that, when clicked, would use appendChild to put whatever is in that text box into your list.

Or do you mean to say you already have existing data you use in your table and you'd need a way to automatically reuse that data for your list? If so, you might want to write a simple script for that.

 

Still don't have existing data, it's by inputs, what i was confused about was on where to create the apendchild, and how to best substitute the insertCell, as we have never taken code we already have and converted it from tables to list, we always wrote from scratch

 

If you're confused about how to use appendChild, maybe you should start with this? Basically, you get the element you want to append the addition to (the list in this case), and pass in the addition as a parameter to appendChild.

Edit:
Uh... I meant "argument"... you pass it in as an argument...

To any coder reading this particular post, please don't murder me.

 

I think i get it, will try to see a bit more about this and read more and will try to make it by tonight since i don't need to style it with css.
Thank you very much brother!

 

Ah, damn, I missed this.

First you need to change table to ul.
Then you just let ul = document.querySelector("ul");

Then you create "li" elements.
Add the content with innerHTML
Then you just use appendChild to add those li's to that ul.
