Javascript colors and tables?

529 views Asked by Herman Lee Tzer Her At 10 September 2024 at 16:46

I'm doing revision in preparation for my Web Development exam, and came across this question:

My answer:

    function pallete() {
        var components = ["00", "33", "66", "99", "CC", "FF"];
        var context = document.body;
        var tab = document.createElement('table');
        for (i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
            for (j = 0; j < 6; j++) {
                var trow = document.createElement('tr');
                for (f = 0; f < 6; f++) {
                    var thead = document.createElement('th');
                    thead.innerHTML = "#" + components[i] + components[j] + components[f];
                    thead.style.color = components[i] + components[j] + components[f];
                    trow.appendChild(thead);
                }
                tab.appendChild(trow);
            }
        }
        context.appendChild(tab);
    }

I tested the code on the browser, but nothing is coming up! I think my logic is perfect though... Not sure what went wrong here. Please give me any pointers, thank you very much!

Use document.createElement() instead of context.createElement(). Also assign value to thead.innerHTML instead of using it as a set function

function pallete() {
    var components = ["00", "33", "66", "99", "CC", "FF"];
    var context = document.body;
    var tab = document.createElement('table');
    for (i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
        for (j = 0; j < 6; j++) {
            var trow = document.createElement('tr');
            for (f = 0; f < 6; f++) {
                var thead = document.createElement('th');
                thead.innerHTML = "#" + components[i] + components[j] + components[f];
                thead.style.color = components[i] + components[j] + components[f];
                trow.appendChild(thead);
            }
            tab.appendChild(trow);
        }
    }
    context.appendChild(tab);
}

Another suggestion will be to use 'td' instead of 'th'

Working example with

declaration block at top of function
document.createElement
td instead of th
innerHTML as assignment
td.style.backgroundColor instead of td.style.color
assignment to color needs # in front of color values, like #003366

function pallete() {
    var components = ["00", "33", "66", "99", "CC", "FF"],
        context = document.body,
        tab = document.createElement('table'),
        trow, td,
        i, j, f;

    for (i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
        for (j = 0; j < 6; j++) {
            trow = document.createElement('tr');
            for (f = 0; f < 6; f++) {
                td = document.createElement('td');
                td.innerHTML = "#" + components[i] + components[j] + components[f];
                td.style.backgroundColor = "#" + components[i] + components[j] + components[f];
                trow.appendChild(td);
            }
            tab.appendChild(trow);
        }
    }
    context.appendChild(tab);
}

<body onload="pallete();"></body>
