Google docs post table from textarea

Question

I have created a textarea field in my google apps spreadsheet table.html.

<textarea  name="tableS" id="tableS"></textarea>

Also i make a function which place table in HTML format to this texarea

        function updateUrl(myArray) {
            var results, tr, td;
            results = "<table border=\"1\" style=\"table-layout: fixed; width: 100%\">";
            for (var i = 1, len = myArray.length; i < len; i++) {
                tr = myArray[i];
                results += "<tr>";
                for (var y = 0, leng = tr.length; y < leng; y++) {
                    td = tr[y];
                    results += "<td>" + td + "</td>";
                }
                results += "</tr>";
            }
            results += "<\/table><br \/> <br \/>";

            document.getElementById("tableS").value = results;
}

Then i trying to replace on submit predefined text in my google docs template with textarea tables as html,

copyBody.replaceText('Passwords', e.table);

but i get in template pure text with tags

, but i need to get table formatted as html

How to do that?

Answer 1

You would need to convert the HTML to an image, and then insert the image. You can't put HTML markup directly into a Google Doc, and have it be rendered. You are creating a table with HTML, but you can create a table for a Google Doc with the Document and Table class and sub class.

Google Documentation - Table

So, don't use HTML. It won't work. Use the Table class, build a table with the Table methods, then insert a Table into the Doc.
