We can create a <tfoot> element via the document.createElement()
method:
var x = document.createElement("TFOOT");
Click the button to create a TFOOT element (and a TR and a TD).
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> table, th, td { border: 1px solid black; } </style>/*from w w w .ja v a 2 s . c o m*/ </head> <body> <table id="myTable"> <thead> <tr> <th>Header</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Cell 1</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Cell 2</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <button onclick="myFunction()">Test</button> <script> function myFunction() { var x = document.createElement("TFOOT"); var y = document.createElement("TR"); var z = document.createElement("TD"); z.innerHTML = "A Footer!" y.appendChild(z); x.appendChild(y); document.getElementById("myTable").appendChild(x); } </script> </body> </html>
