possible to generate summaries/statistics from html table?

Question

If I have a table like:

+-----------+-----------+-----------+
| PRIORITY  | ITEM      | COMPLETED |
+-----------+-----------+-----------+
|    0      | foo       |    YES    |
+-----------+-----------+-----------+
|    1      | bar       |           |
+-----------+-----------+-----------+
|    2      | baz       |    YES    |
+-----------+-----------+-----------+

Can plain ol' HTML auto-generate a final summary line like:

+-----------+-----------+-----------+
|           |           |   2/3     |
+-----------+-----------+-----------+

Answer 1

No. It can't. HTML can't iterate over the rows. With JavaScript it's no problem.

fn. How to get a table cell value using jQuery?

Answer 2

This is only possible using Javascript or server-side code.
