Re^3: How can I add a -id attribute to a perl cgi start_Tr ? by Your Mother (Archbishop) on Feb 27, 2015 at 19:48 UTC
FWIW, I think is awkward usage and produces badly dated HTML. `print $cgi->start_Tr({-id => "thisID", -valign => "top"});` This is equivalent, less verbose, and less awkward– `print '<tr id="thisID" valign="top">';` I often use CGI to produce HTML but the strength lies in being able to tersely, e.g.– `print table( Tr( td( \@long_list_of_td ) ) );` So, for your use, I’d much rather inherit something like this– `print Tr({-id => "thisID", -class => "CSSclass"}, td("some stuff"), td("etc") );` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
