Try it Yourself »

Example

Delete cell(s) at the beginning of the first table row. The table rows collection (.rows[0]) returns a collection of all <tr> elements in the table with id "myTable". The number [0] specifies the element to retrieve, in this example, the first table row. Then we use deleteCell() to delete cells from index position 0:

var firstRow = document.getElementById("myTable").rows[0];
firstRow.deleteCell(0);

Example

Insert new cell(s) with content at the beginning of a table row with id="myRow":

var row = document.getElementById("myRow");
var x = row.insertCell(0);
x.innerHTML = "New cell";
