HTML::O...ableCell(3)

🎀 HTML::Object::DOM::Element::TableCell 🎀

okay bestie, this is the User Contributed Perl Documentation page for HTML::O...ableCell(3) — manual name folded in right here at the top because we keep it cute 🫶. We're talking about the HTML Object DOM TableCell Class, and it's giving table cell main character energy 💅.

✨ NAME ✨

HTML::Object::DOM::Element::TableCell — the HTML Object DOM TableCell Class. periodt 💖

🧚 SYNOPSIS 🧚

use HTML::Object::DOM::Element::TableCell;
my $cell = HTML::Object::DOM::Element::TableCell->new( tag => 'th' ) ||
    die( HTML::Object::DOM::Element::TableCell->error, "\n" );

🌸 VERSION 🌸

v0.2.0 — that's the version, bestie ✨.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This interface provides special properties and methods (beyond the regular HTML::Object::DOM::Element interface it also has available to it by inheritance) for manipulating the layout and presentation of table cells, either header (th) or data cells (td), in an HTML document. we love a layout-and-presentation moment 🦋.

🦋 INHERITANCE 🦋

The family tree is giving royal lineage 👑:

+-----------------------+     +---------------------------+     +-------------------------+     +----------------------------+     +---------------------------------------+
| HTML::Object::Element | --> | HTML::Object::EventTarget | --> | HTML::Object::DOM::Node | --> | HTML::Object::DOM::Element | --> | HTML::Object::DOM::Element::TableCell |
+-----------------------+     +---------------------------+     +-------------------------+     +----------------------------+     +---------------------------------------+

🔥 PROPERTIES 🔥

Inherits properties from its parent HTML::Object::DOM::Element.

🌟 abbr

A string which can be used on th elements (not on td), specifying an alternative label for the header cell. This alternate label can be used in other contexts, such as when describing the headers that apply to a data cell. This is used to offer a shorter term for use by screen readers in particular, and is a valuable accessibility tool. Usually the value of abbr is an abbreviation or acronym, but can be any text that's appropriate contextually.

See also Mozilla documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLTableCellElement/abbr

🌟 cellIndex

Read-only. A long integer representing the cell's position in the cells collection of the tr the cell is contained within. If the cell does not belong to a tr, it returns undef (-1 normally under JavaScript).

See also Mozilla documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLTableCellElement/cellIndex

🌟 colSpan

An unsigned long integer indicating the number of columns this cell must span; this lets the cell occupy space across multiple columns of the table. It reflects the colspan HTML attribute.

See also Mozilla documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLTableCellElement/colSpan

🌟 colspan

Alias for colSpan — same thing, different casing, we love a flexible icon 💅.

🌟 headers

Read-only. A TokenList describing a list of id of th elements that represents headers associated with the cell. It reflects the headers HTML attribute.

See also Mozilla documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLTableCellElement/headers

🌟 rowSpan

An unsigned long integer indicating the number of rows this cell must span; this lets a cell occupy space across multiple rows of the table. It reflects the rowspan HTML attribute.

See also Mozilla documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLTableCellElement/rowSpan

🌟 rowspan

Alias for rowSpan — same vibe, lowercase fit 💅.

🌈 scope

A string indicating the scope of a th cell. Header cells can be configured, using the scope property, to apply to a specified row or column, or to the not-yet-scoped cells within the current row group (that is, the same ancestor thead, tbody, or tfoot element). If no value is specified for scope, the header is not associated directly with cells in this way. Permitted values for scope are:

Note that, under perl, those values are not enforced. 🫶

• col — The header cell applies to the following cells in the same column (or columns, if colspan is used as well), until either the end of the column or another th in the column establishes a new scope.
• colgroup — The header cell applies to all cells in the current column group that do not already have a scope applied to them. This value is only allowed if the cell is in a column group.
• row — The header cell applies to the following cells in the same row (or rows, if rowspan is used as well), until either the end of the row or another th in the same row establishes a new scope.
• rowgroup — The header cell applies to all cells in the current row group that do not already have a scope applied to them. This value is only allowed if the cell is in a row group.
• The empty string ("") — The header cell has no predefined scope; the user agent will establish the scope based on contextual clues.

👑 METHODS 👑

Inherits methods from its parent HTML::Object::DOM::Element. That's the whole methods section, no cap 😌.

💀 DEPRECATED PROPERTIES 💀

These are the deprecated ones, bestie — still here for the lore, but handle with care 💀.

🩷 align

A string containing an enumerated value reflecting the align attribute. It indicates the alignment of the element's contents with respect to the surrounding context. The possible values are C≤left>, "right", and "center".

See also Mozilla documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLTableCellElement/align

🩷 axis

A string containing a name grouping cells in virtual. It reflects the obsolete axis attribute.

See also Mozilla documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLTableCellElement/axis

🩷 bgColor

A string containing the background color of the cells. It reflects the obsolete bgcolor attribute.

See also Mozilla documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLTableCellElement/bgColor

🩷 bgcolor

Alias for bgColor — same background, different casing 💅.

🩷 ch

A string containing one single character. This character is the one to align all the cell of a column on. It reflects the char and defaults to the decimal points associated with the language, e.g. . for English, or , for French. This property was optional and was not very well supported.

See also Mozilla documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLTableCellElement/ch

🩷 chOff

A string containing an integer indicating how many characters must be left at the right (for left-to-right scripts; or at the left for right-to-left scripts) of the character defined by ch. This property was optional and was not very well supported.

See also Mozilla documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLTableCellElement/chOff

🩷 choff

Alias for chOff — lowercase twin, same energy 💅.

🩷 height

A string containing a length of pixel of the hinted height of the cell. It reflects the obsolete height HTML attribute.

See also Mozilla documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLTableCellElement/height

🩷 noWrap

A boolean value reflecting the nowrap HTML attribute and indicating if cell content can be broken in several lines.

See also Mozilla documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLTableCellElement/noWrap

🩷 nowrap

Alias for noWrap — same no-wrap vibe, lowercase edition 💅.

🩷 vAlign

A string representing an enumerated value indicating how the content of the cell must be vertically aligned. It reflects the valign HTML attribute and can have one of the following values: top, middle, bottom, or baseline. Use the CSS vertical-align property instead.

See also Mozilla documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLTableCellElement/vAlign

🩷 valign

Alias for vAlign — same vertical alignment, lowercase fit 💅.

🩷 width

A string specifying the number of pixels wide the cell should be drawn, if possible. This property reflects the also obsolete width HTML attribute. Use the CSS width property instead.

See also Mozilla documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLTableCellElement/width
