Interface HTMLTableElement
- All Superinterfaces:
Element
,HTMLElement
,Node
- All Known Implementing Classes:
HTMLTableElementImpl
The create* and delete* methods on the table allow authors to construct and
modify tables. [HTML 4.01] specifies that only one of each of the
CAPTION
, THEAD
, and TFOOT
elements
may exist in a table. Therefore, if one exists, and the createTHead() or
createTFoot() method is called, the method returns the existing THead or
TFoot element. See the TABLE element definition in HTML 4.01.
See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 HTML Specification.
