## Conversation

**ASSISTANT**: As an AI language model, I can provide helpful and honest answers to your questions related to front-end development using pure JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Please go ahead and ask your question.
**USER**: write wait for element to exist javascript function
**ASSISTANT**: To wait for an element to exist in JavaScript, you can use a function that checks for the presence of the element at regular intervals until it is found. Here's an example of how you can implement this using pure JavaScript:



```javascript

function waitForElementToExist(selector, callback) {

  const element = document.querySelector(selector);



  if (element) {

    // If the element already exists, invoke the callback immediately

    callback(element);

  } else {

    // If the element doesn't exist, check again after a short delay

    setTimeout(() => waitForElementToExist(selector, callback), 100);

  }

}

```



Here's how you can use this function:



```javascript

waitForElementToExist('#myElement', (element) => {

  // This callback function will be invoked when the element with the ID 'myElement' exists

  console.log('Element found:', element);

  // Do something with the element

});

```



In this example, the `waitForElementToExist` function takes two parameters: the `selector` of the element to wait for, and a `callback` function to execute when the element is found. It uses `document.querySelector` to check if the element exists. If the element is found, the callback is invoked immediately. Otherwise, the function calls itself recursively after a short delay using `setTimeout` until the element is found.
**USER**: Write JavaScript function that takes a JSON object as input and builds an HTML table based on the data in the JSON
**ASSISTANT**: Sure! Below is an example of a JavaScript function that takes a JSON object as input and dynamically builds an HTML table based on the data:



```javascript

function buildTableFromJSON(jsonData) {

  // Create the table element

  var table = document.createElement('table');



  // Get the headers from the first object in the JSON data

  var headers = Object.keys(jsonData[0]);



  // Create the table header row

  var headerRow = document.createElement('tr');

  headers.forEach(function(header) {

    var th = document.createElement('th');

    th.textContent = header;

    headerRow.appendChild(th);

  });

  table.appendChild(headerRow);



  // Create table rows for each object in the JSON data

  jsonData.forEach(function(obj) {

    var row = document.createElement('tr');

    headers.forEach(function(header) {

      var cell = document.createElement('td');

      cell.textContent = obj[header];

      row.appendChild(cell);

    });

    table.appendChild(row);

  });



  // Return the completed table element

  return table;

}

```



To use this function, you can pass your JSON object as an argument and append the resulting HTML table to a container element in your HTML:



```javascript

// Assuming `jsonData` is your JSON object

var container = document.getElementById('tableContainer');

var table = buildTableFromJSON(jsonData);

container.appendChild(table);

```



In this example, the `buildTableFromJSON` function takes a JSON object (`jsonData`) as input. It creates a `table` element and iterates over the `headers` (keys) of the first object in the JSON to create the table header row. Then, it iterates over each object in the JSON to create the table rows, populating the cells with the corresponding values. Finally, the function returns the completed `table` element, which can be appended to a container element in your HTML.



Note: Make sure to replace `'tableContainer'` in the example above with the appropriate ID of the container element where you want to append the table.
**USER**: ```

/**

   * Display results ordered by selected column.

   */

  function sortByColumn(num, order) {

    let sortByPattern = settings.sortByPattern;



    if (typeof sortByPattern !== 'function') {

      sortByPattern = function(val) {

        return val?.replace(/\$|%|#/g, '');

      };

    }



    const reverse = (order === 'desc') ? -1 : 1;



    // Sort object by array index.

    settings.columnValues.sort(function(a, b) {

      const str1 = sortByPattern(a[num]);

      const str2 = sortByPattern(b[num]);



      if (isNaN(str1)) {

        return [reverse * cmpAny(str1, str2)] >

               [reverse * cmpAny(str2, str1)] ? -1 : 1;

      }



      return [reverse * cmpInt(str1, str2)];

    });

  }



  /**

   * Generic string comparison functions.

   */

  function cmpAny(a, b) {

    return (a > b) ? 1 : (a < b) ? -1 : 0;

  }



  function cmpInt(a, b) {

    return b - a;

  }

```

update the `sortByColumn` function to use numeric comparison instead of string comparison for those columns that need this. Keep all the variable names unchanged, just add the necessary functionality, it's important!
**ASSISTANT**: To update the `sortByColumn` function to use numeric comparison instead of string comparison for certain columns, you can modify the code as follows:



```javascript

/**

 * Display results ordered by selected column.

 */

function sortByColumn(num, order) {

  let sortByPattern = settings.sortByPattern;



  if (typeof sortByPattern !== 'function') {

    sortByPattern = function(val) {

      return val?.replace(/\$|%|#/g, '');

    };

  }



  const reverse = (order === 'desc') ? -1 : 1;



  // Sort object by array index.

  settings.columnValues.sort(function(a, b) {

    const str1 = sortByPattern(a[num]);

    const str2 = sortByPattern(b[num]);



    if (!isNaN(Number(str1)) && !isNaN(Number(str2))) {

      return reverse * (Number(str1) - Number(str2));

    } else if (isNaN(str1)) {

      return reverse * cmpAny(str1, str2);

    }



    return reverse * cmpInt(str1, str2);

  });

}



/**

 * Generic string comparison functions.

 */

function cmpAny(a, b) {

  return (a > b) ? 1 : (a < b) ? -1 : 0;

}



function cmpInt(a, b) {

  return b - a;

}

```



In the updated code, we check if both `str1` and `str2` can be converted to numbers using `isNaN(Number(str))`. If they can, we perform numeric comparison by subtracting one from the other. If `str1` is not a number, we continue with the existing string comparison logic using `cmpAny`. The rest of the code remains unchanged.



Note: Keep in mind that this implementation assumes that the values being compared can be safely converted to numbers. If there's a possibility of non-numeric values, you may need to handle those cases accordingly.
