Loop Through Table and add values in JavaScript

Question

Hello I am trying to loop through a table I have in html and want to add next to the cell depending on the value of the cell. For example the following table I have:

<div>
   <h1>My Table</h1>
   <table id = "table" class = "searchable sortable">
      <tr class = "header">
          <th>A</th>
          <th>B</th>
          <th>C</th>
     </tr>
     <tr>
          <td> Up</td>
          <td>Down</td>
          <td> Up </td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
          <td>Up</td>
          <td>Up</td>
          <td>Down</td>
    </tr>
  </table>
<div>

if the value of the cell is equal to up I would like to add a image in the cell of an up arrow, if down add a image of a down arrow.

You can do it by

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

for (var r = 0, n = table.rows.length; r < n; r++) {
    for (var c = 0, m = table.rows[r].cells.length; c < m; c++) {
        var image = document.createElement("img");

        if(table.rows[r].cells[c].innerHTML === "Up"){               
           image.src = "/your_image_path_for_up";
        } else {
           image.src = "/your_image_path_for_down";               
        }

        var newCell = row.insertCell(c+1);
        newCell.appendChild(image);

    }
}

This will append a new cell with an image to the right of your cell with "Up" or "Down".

Below is the script, which will find all of the cells, loop through them and add appropriate image

<script>
   var cells = document.querySelectorAll('td');
   for (var i = 0; i < cells.length; i++) {
     var cell = cells[i];
     var cellContent = cell.textContent.toLowerCase().trim();
     var img = document.createElement('img')
     if (cellContent === 'up') {
        img.src = 'src_to_up_arrow_image';
     } else if (cellContent === 'down') {
        img.src = 'src_to_down_arrow_image';
     };
     cell.appendChild(img);
   }
 </script>
