Get Count (Number) of Rows in HTML Table using JavaScript
In the following example shows, an Html table and a Button to get count (number) of rows in Html using JavaScript. When you click on the button then CountRows() javascript function is executed. The total count of rows in the HTML table is calculated by counting all the HTML TR elements with the header row. Secondly, we count the number of all rows except the first header row in the HTML table without the header row.

var rows = table.getElementsByTagName("tr")

totalRowCount++;
if (rows[i].getElementsByTagName("td").length > 0) {

In the following example shows, an Html table and a Button to get count (number) of rows in Html using jQuery. In the document.ready() we have assigned a jQuery click event handler for a Button. When we click on the button the total count of the number of rows with a header row and the count of the number of all rows except the First (Header) row in HTML Table is determined using jQuery.
