Asked By CuriousCoder89 On

I'm working on converting a CSV file to HTML and I want to add some JavaScript functionality to search and sort the table. The problem is that I need to reference a table ID in my JavaScript code, but I can't find any Microsoft documentation on how to set the table ID when using ConvertTo-Html in PowerShell. I could replace it after the HTML is generated, but is there a better way to do this?

You could wrap your table inside a div with an ID, making it easier to reference. For instance, you could do something like this: `... | ConvertTo-Html -Fragment -PreContent '

' -PostContent '

'`. In your JS, you can then select the table with `document.getElementById("TableDiv").getElementsByTagName("Table")` or JQuery syntax like `$('div#TableDiv table')`.

Instead of relying on ConvertTo-Html for everything, which can be a bit limiting, you might want to create a custom HTML template. You can insert placeholders in your template for the data, and then use a script to fill those in. Another approach is to generate separate fragments for the header and body in your script, which gives you greater control over the output.

Have you tried using `Out-HtmlView` from the `PSWriteHTML` module? It's a great way to generate HTML reports, but be aware that it may require some extra permissions since it's a third-party module. Just something to think about!

I created a simplification for CSV parsing using JSON. You can use the HTML template I've made and replace the sample data with your own. Here's the link: https://gist.github.com/zbalkan/0429a22ece1d88ab5df5fa57cce0c859. It could serve as a solid base for your project!
