Can an HTML table be passed in form and get the value through post?

Question

Is it possible to pass the value of an HTML table through post or not? I'm making a PDF report, and want to get only in my HTML table.

I don't see why not. An HTML table is simply a string of characters, which POST can easily handle. You would just have to ensure it is processed properly on the receiving end. — Russ J, Mar 13 '19 at 02:04
No, you cannot use the 'name' attribute in an HTML table. Try id or class instead. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13677536/can-we-give-name-to-html-table — Russ J, Mar 13 '19 at 02:31

sure, just create a valid form and send the content ..

<html>
    <head>
        <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <form id="f">
            <input type="hidden" name="mytable" />
            <button>Submit</button>

        </form>

        <table id="t">
            <tr>
                <td>ra ra</td>

            </tr>

        </table>

    </body>

    <script>
    $(document).ready( function() {
        $('#f').on( 'submit', function( e) {
            let t = $('#t');

            $('input[name="mytable"]', this).val( t[0].outerHTML)
            console.log( $(this).serializeArray());

            return false;

        });

    });
    </script>

</html>
