Is there a way to update the whole table including number of rows and columns, column headers etc. for dynamic data?

jexcel(domId, options)

You can save options and then use again later to recreate the table. To get options, you call xxx.getConfig()

The following is the code that I am using:

<html>
<script src="https://bossanova.uk/jexcel/v3/jexcel.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://bossanova.uk/jexcel/v3/jexcel.css" type="text/css" />

<script src="https://bossanova.uk/jtools/v2/japp.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://bossanova.uk/jtools/v2/japp.css" type="text/css" />

<div id="spreadsheet"></div>

<script>
var data = [
    ['Mazda', 2001, 2000],
    ['Pegeout', 2010, 5000],
    ['Honda Fit', 2009, 3000],
    ['Honda CRV', 2010, 6000],
];


jexcel(document.getElementById('spreadsheet'), {
    data:data,
    columns:[
        { title:'Model', width:300 },
        { title:'Price', width:80 },
        { title:'Model', width:100 }
    ],
});
</script>
<input type='button' value='Update data' onclick="jexcel(document.getElementById('spreadsheet'),{
data: [
['A', 10],
['B', 20],
],
 columns:[
        { title:'Letter', width:300 },
        { title:'Number', width:80 }],
})">

</html>

On clicking the update data button, instead of the data being updated on the table I get two tables as follows:

Sure you must clear your table first. document.getElementById('spreadsheet').innerHTML = '';

Actually, clearing the innerHTML and then updating the table would remove currently selected cell which from user perspective is slightly inconvenient. I was wondering if there was any method that could be called to update the table.

Thanks @paulhodel , that's a great solution. I was hoping if there could be a function like setTable that would clear the replace the current table with a new table.

You don't need to change the whole table if you change only the data. For that you have setData.

Hi paul,
Is there any way, when we insert data into excel sheet that time data will store dynamically into :
jexcel(document.getElementById('spreadsheet'){
data : data , <------------------
}

You don't need to change the whole table if you change only the data. For that you have setData.

Regards,

When I use setData to update an existing table instance, the correct number of columns and rows are rendered, but the cell contents are empty. I've tried the refresh method but same result. What am I doing wrong?
