Helps to see the context within the code you are working. You could, for instance, start at myTable.rows.item(2)   The Row DOM object also has the property .rowType that points to a set of fixed types.

I'm done debating the point. Who says OP didn't grab Robert's code, fix the issue (which it does), meet their deadline, and move on to the next task. Also think OP has spent time learning to script and is still learning, rather than using ChatGPT. And it's a valuable skill to have, and we are happy to help them along their journey.    Meanwhile, elitists occasionally enter this niche section of the forums and harp about the "right" way to do things, without any scripting knowledge. I have no clue why your response was marked correct; as OP stated it was unhelpful, which it is. Neither was continuing this longwinded parley with me, but here we are.    Just to be clear, I'm not being negative or dismissive here. Take care.  ... View more
