# HTMLDocument.makeDataCell(3kaya)

Make a table cell a data cell

## NAME

HTMLDocument::makeDataCell - Make a table cell a data cell

## SYNOPSIS

**ElementTree makeDataCell(** *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

Makes a table cell a data cell and returns the cell. Apart from converting the cell to a data cell if it wasn't already, this is identical to **HTMLDocument.getTableCell (3kaya)**\
  All cells are data cells by default, unless created with **HTMLDocument.initialiseTable (3kaya)** (or **HTMLDocument.lazyTable (3kaya)** , though of course those cells are not retrievable with this function) in the header section.
