# HTMLDocument.getTableCell(3kaya)

Retrieve a table cell

## NAME

HTMLDocument::getTableCell - Retrieve a table cell

## SYNOPSIS

**ElementTree getTableCell(** *ElementTree tsect, Int row, Int col* **)**

## ARGUMENTS

**tsect** The table header, footer or body section

**row** The row to retrieve from (starting at 0)

**col** The column to retrieve from (starting at 0)

## DESCRIPTION

Retrieve a table cell so that content may be added to it. An **Array.OutOfBounds (3kaya)** Exception will be thrown if the row and column are not within the table.

-

   table = addTable(parent,"Example table");\
    tbody = addTableBodySection(table);\
    for i in \[0..2\] {\
        void(addTableRow(tbody));\
    }\
    addTableColumns(table,3);\
    for i in \[0..2\] {\
        for j in \[0..2\] {\
            td = getTableCell(tbody,i,j);\
            addString(td,String(i+j));\
        }\
    }\
    /\*\
    Example table\
    \+---+---+---+\
    \| 0 \| 1 \| 2 \|\
    \+---+---+---+\
    \| 1 \| 2 \| 3 \|\
    \+---+---+---+\
    \| 2 \| 3 \| 4 \|\
    \+---+---+---+\
    \*/

Naturally, the table in this simple example would be easier to generate using **HTMLDocument.initialiseTable (3kaya)**
