Abandonware of the web: do you know that there is an HTML tables API?

Read Original

This article discusses the lesser-known, built-in HTML Table API, which allows developers to create, access, and modify table elements (rows, cells, headers) directly via JavaScript methods like insertRow() and insertCell(). It explains how this API offers a more secure and efficient alternative to using innerHTML for dynamic table generation, includes code examples, and suggests potential modern enhancements.
