DOM.HTMLTableElement

KDE 4.2 PyKDE API Reference

- KDE's Python API

# HTMLTableElement Class Reference

`from PyKDE4.khtml import *`

Inherits: DOM.HTMLElement → DOM.Element → DOM.Node
Namespace: DOM

## Detailed Description

The create* and delete* methods on the table allow authors to construct and modify tables. HTML 4.0 specifies that only one of each of the CAPTION , THEAD , and TFOOT elements may exist in a table. Therefore, if one exists, and the createTHead() or createTFoot() method is called, the method returns the existing THead or TFoot element. See the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/tables.html#edef-TABLE"> TABLE element definition in HTML 4.0.
