Getting columns size in javascript

[mickcarlson]

Hi, is there a way to get the numbers of columns of a table? (not the width of a cell)

regards

Yes. You can get the length of the childNodes of a row. If you get a row object named r, r.childNodes.length refers to the number of columns. You can get a row using: var r = document.getElementById('tableID').rows[0];

You might be able to use r.cells.length, but I'm not sure of that support. Try it out, and get back to us on it ...
