Convert/normalize HTML table containing colspan & rowspan...
Posted: Tue Jul 07, 2009 2:38 am
Has anybody already created such a script?
I am looking for a script filter that can take a cleaned HTML table containing colspan & rowspan attributes and un-combine/split them into their own cell.
Input would look something like this:
Output would look like this:
colspan would be pretty easy to handle...simply insert...<td colspan="4">abcd</td>...four times in succession and remove the colspan attributes.
Exp: <td>abcd</td><td>abcd</td><td>abcd</td><td>abcd</td>
rowspan is a little more tricky, as you need to track the placement of the rowspan containing tag and insert it x times in the same location in rows below it.
Thanks for any help,
Brent
