<td contenteditable="true" class="name_of_child" oninput="set_text(this,'name_of_child_1')"></td>
<td contenteditable="true" class="date_of_birth" oninput="set_text(this,'date_of_birth_1')"></td>
<td contenteditable="true" class="living_or_deceased" oninput="set_text(this,'living_or_deceased_1')"></td>
I want to get the text through oninput
function from table td
element like this, but sadly this works with input fields but not with table td
tags. Is there a way to get the td
text using oninput
or any other way?
Why not go more abstract?
const data = {}
const setup = () => {
document.querySelectorAll('td').forEach(td => td.addEventListener('input', setText));
const btn = document.querySelector('button');
btn.addEventListener('click', (event) => console.log(data));
}
const updateObject = (key, value) => data[key] = value;
const setText = (event) => {
const target = event.currentTarget;
const key = target.dataset.var;
const value = target.textContent;
updateObject(key, value);
}
window.addEventListener('load', setup)
td {
background: red;
min-width: 5em;
}
<table>
<tr>
<td contenteditable="true" data-var="name_of_child"></td>
<td contenteditable="true" data-var="date_of_birth"></td>
<td contenteditable="true" data-var="living_or_deceased"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<button>
Show Object
</button>

Read the innerHTML or textContent of the reference you pass in to get what the user typed.
function set_text(td, foo) {
console.log(td.innerHTML);
}
table, tr { width: 100%;}
td { width: 33%;}
<table>
<tr>
<td contenteditable="true" class="name_of_child" oninput="set_text(this,'name_of_child_1')">x</td>
<td contenteditable="true" class="date_of_birth" oninput="set_text(this,'date_of_birth_1')">y</td>
<td contenteditable="true" class="living_or_deceased" oninput="set_text(this,'living_or_deceased_1')">z</td>
</tr>
</table>

You can give unique id to each td
and then try to access the value by passing id into oninput
function.
<td id="td1" contenteditable="true" class="name_of_child"oninput="set_text(this,'td1')"></td>
<td id="td2" contenteditable="true" class="date_of_birth" oninput="set_text(this,'td2')"></td>
<td id="td3" contenteditable="true" class="living_or_deceased" oninput="set_text(this,'td3')"></td>
set_text
function:
function set_text(this, id) {
var val = document.getElementById(id).textContent
}
