## Detailed Description

The create* and delete* methods on the table allow authors to construct and modify tables.

HTML 4.0 specifies that only one of each of the `CAPTION` , `THEAD` , and `TFOOT` elements may exist in a table. Therefore, if one exists, and the createTHead() or createTFoot() method is called, the method returns the existing THead or TFoot element. See the TABLE element definition in HTML 4.0.

Definition at line 441 of file html_table.h.

In addition, when the table is empty the row is inserted into a TBODY which is created and inserted into the table. Note. A table row cannot be empty according to HTML 4.0 Recommendation.

Parameters:

  index | The row number where to insert a new row. The index starts from 0 and is relative to the logical order (not document order) of all the rows contained inside the table.
