HTML Table with JavaScript jquery
JavaScript is a programming language that works with HTML data, CSS helps to style that data. In this example, we are using JavaScript and CSS that was developed by others (3rd party). Addithing the 3rd party code makes the table interactive.
- Look at the href and src on lines inside of the lines in
<head>tags. This is adding code to our page from others. - Observe the
<script>tags at the bottom of the page. This is generating the interactive table, from the third party code, using the data<table id="demo">from the<body>.
