HTMLTableRowElement: rowIndex property
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The rowIndex read-only property of the HTMLTableRowElement interface
represents the position of a row within the whole <table>.
Even when the <thead>, <tbody>, and
<tfoot> elements are out of order in the HTML, browsers render the
table in the right order. Therefore the rows count from <thead> to
<tbody>, from <tbody> to
<tfoot>.
Value
The index of the row, or -1 if the row is not part of a table.
Examples
This example uses JavaScript to label all the row numbers in a table.
