HTMLTableElement

Extends HTMLElement.

The table element represents data with more than one dimension, in the form of a table.

Properties
HTMLTableCaptionElement?	caption The caption IDL attribute must return, on getting, the first caption element child of the table element, if any, or null otherwise. On setting, the first caption element child of the table element, if any, must be removed, and the new value, if not null, must be inserted as the first node of the table element.
HTMLCollection	rows The rows attribute must return an HTMLCollection rooted at the table node, whose filter matches only tr elements that are either children of the table element, or children of thead, tbody, or tfoot elements that are themselves children of the table element.
boolean	sortable The IDL attribute sortable must reflect the sortable content attribute.
HTMLCollection	tBodies The tBodies attribute must return an HTMLCollection rooted at the table node, whose filter matches only tbody elements that are children of the table element.
HTMLTableSectionElement?	tFoot The tFoot IDL attribute must return, on getting, the first tfoot element child of the table element, if any, or null otherwise. On setting, if the new value is null or a tfoot element, the first tfoot element child of the table element, if any, must be removed, and the new value, if not null, must be inserted immediately before the first element in the table element that is neither a caption element, a colgroup element, nor a thead element, if any, or at the end of the table if there are no such elements.
HTMLTableSectionElement?	tHead The tHead IDL attribute must return, on getting, the first thead element child of the table element, if any, or null otherwise. On setting, if the new value is null or a thead element, the first thead element child of the table element, if any, must be removed, and the new value, if not null, must be inserted immediately before the first element in the table element that is neither a caption element nor a colgroup element, if any, or at the end of the table if there are no such elements.

Operations
HTMLElement	createCaption() The createCaption() method must return the first caption element child of the table element, if any; otherwise a new caption element must be created, inserted as the first node of the table element, and then returned.
HTMLElement	createTBody() The createTBody() method must create a new tbody element, insert it immediately after the last tbody element child in the table element, if any, or at the end of the table element if the table element has no tbody element children, and then must return the new tbody element.
HTMLElement	createTFoot() The createTFoot() method must return the first tfoot element child of the table element, if any; otherwise a new tfoot element must be created and inserted immediately before the first element in the table element that is neither a caption element, a colgroup element, nor a thead element, if any, or at the end of the table if there are no such elements, and then that new element must be returned.
HTMLElement	createTHead() The createTHead() method must return the first thead element child of the table element, if any; otherwise a new thead element must be created and inserted immediately before the first element in the table element that is neither a caption element nor a colgroup element, if any, or at the end of the table if there are no such elements, and then that new element must be returned.
void	deleteCaption() The deleteCaption() method must remove the first caption element child of the table element, if any.
void	deleteRow(long index)
void	deleteTFoot() The deleteTFoot() method must remove the first tfoot element child of the table element, if any.
void	deleteTHead() The deleteTHead() method must remove the first thead element child of the table element, if any.
HTMLElement	insertRow(optional long index) The behavior of the insertRow(index) method depends on the state of the table.
