DHTML Collections
Retrieves a collection of all TBODY objects in the table. Objects in this collection are in HTML source order.
[ collTBodies = ] table.tBodies |
[ oObject = ] table.tBodies ( vIndex [ , iSubIndex ] ) |
collTBodies |
Reference to an array of elements contained by the object. |
oObject |
Reference to an individual item in the array of elements contained by the object. |
vIndex |
Required. Number or string specifying the element or collection to retrieve. If this parameter is a number, the method returns the element in the collection at the given position, where the first element has value 0, the second has 1, and so on. If this parameter is a string and there is more than one element with the name or id property equal to the string, the method returns a collection of matching elements. |
iSubIndex |
Optional. Position of an element to retrieve. This parameter is used when vIndex is a string. The method uses the string to construct a collection of all elements that have a name or id equal to the string and then retrieves from this collection the element at the position specified by iSubIndex. |
This collection can be indexed by name ( ID ). If duplicate names are found, a collection of those named items is returned. Collections of duplicate names must subsequently be referenced by ordinal position.
The following example puts text in the first cell in the first row of the first TBODY object in the TABLE. For each TABLE, an initial TBODY object is synthesized in the HTML tree even if one does not exist in the HTML source.
document.all.oTable.tBodies [ 0 ].rows [ 0 ].cells [ 0 ].innerText =
"Text for the first table cell";
