unable to select node in nokogiri with css attribute containing two colons - ruby-on-rails

I'm receiving an error when trying to select a node with css value of "WhoIsOnDutyTableLevel1:header:2" using nokogiri. I'm assuming nokogiri just can't handle two colons. What are my options? I can't change the structure of the html.
Here's the html:
<html lang="en"><head>

You need to preface the id with a #.
This should work:
doc.css('#WhoIsOnDutyTableLevel1:header:2')

TypeError: cell is undefined[Learn More] jspdf.plugin.autotable.js:690:17

I am converting a table to pdf, if I put the pdf into portrait then the PDF gets generated with no issues.
However the table is quite wide so I need to switch it to landscape, as soon as I do I receive the following error:
TypeError: cell is undefined[Learn More] jspdf.plugin.autotable.js:690:17
Sadly I can't share the table as it is confidential work (hence the local pdf creation) but here is the script I am using.
$('#btnExportPDF').on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
let source = document.getElementById('iframeReport').contentWindow.document.getElementById('tblReport');
$('#divHiddenTable').html(source.outerHTML);
console.log(source);
let doc = new jsPDF({format: 'a4', unit: 'pt', orientation: 'l'});//change l to p and it works
console.log('PDF Obj');
doc.autoTable({html: '#tblReport'});
console.log('PDF autoTable');
doc.save("RegionalDirectorsWriteOffReviewExport.pdf");
console.log('PDF save');
});

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf-autotable/3.0.9/jspdf.plugin.autotable.js"></script>
After some more investigation, it appears that if I remove the OFFICE 3 section from the table below it works, but with it in it doesn't.

Bootstrap not working as expected

I am using Bootstrap and jQuery Datatables to design front end, but my code came out in browser a bit messy, I think the issue is regarding inclusion of bootstrap or jquery or the version may be:-
I am using ASP.NET MVC 5 empty template, the files I am using are:-
index.cshtml
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Employee List";
}
<h2>Employee CRUD Operation</h2>
<table id="employeeTable" class="table table-striped table-bordered">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Position</th>
<th>Office</th>
<th>Age</th>
<th>Salary</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
<link href="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.16/css/dataTables.bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
#section scripts{
<script src="//cdn.datatables.net/1.10.16/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.16/js/dataTables.bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#employeeTable").DataTable({
"ajax": {
"url": "/Employee/GetData",
"type": "GET",
"datatype":"json"
},
"columns": [
{ "data": "Name" },
{ "data": "Position" },
{ "data": "Office" },
{ "data": "Age" },
{ "data": "Salary" }
]
});
});
</script>
}
the bootstrap and jquery are included here in _layout.cshtml:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>#ViewBag.Title - My ASP.NET Application</title>
<link href="~/Content/Site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="~/Content/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div class="container body-content">
#RenderBody()
<hr />
<footer>
<p>ASP.NET MVC Operations</p>
</footer>
</div>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-3.0.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
#RenderSection("scripts",required:false)
</body>
</html>

I grabbed their example and it seems to be working.
I'd make sure your scripts and css are being loaded in the proper order
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').DataTable();
});

I resolved the issue, by making the bootstrap for datatable version same with the base bootstrap version

How to hide a column in a bootstrap table?

In my ASP.NET MVC Core app that uses Bootstrap (installed by default by Visual Studio 2015 MVC Core project), I need to use ID column in a controller but want to hide it in the View. But the following View still displays the column as blank. I would like to hide the first columns that is the ID column
View:
#model List<myProj.Models.StateName>
<form id="target" asp-controller="TestController" asp-action="TestAction" asp-route-returnurl="#ViewData[" ReturnUrl"]" method="post">
<table class="table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th></th>
<th>
State Name
</th>
<th>
State Code
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
#for (int i = 0; i < Model.Count(); i++)
{
<tr>
<td><input asp-for="#Model[i].StateId" type="hidden" /></td>
<td>
<label asp-for="#Model[i].State"></label>
</td>
<td>
<input asp-for="#Model[i].StateCode" type="text" readonly style="border:0px;"/>
</td>
</tr>
}
</tbody>
</table>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Save</button>
</form>

I've tested the behavior you describe in this pen. The "Bad Table" version demonstrates what I believe you are likely seeing and occurs by neglecting to add display:none to one single th/td in that column. The "Good Table" version has the first column completely hidden and stretches to fill the entire available width.
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<h2>Good Table</h2>
<table class="table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th style="display:none">Column 1</th>
<th>Column 2</th>
<th>Column 3</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="display:none">Data 1.1</td>
<td>Data 1.2</td>
<td>Data 1.3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="display:none">Data 2.1</td>
<td>Data 2.2</td>
<td>Data 2.3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="display:none">Data 3.1</td>
<td>Data 3.2</td>
<td>Data 3.3</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<h2>Bad Table</h2>
<table class="table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th style="display:none">Column 1</th>
<th>Column 2</th>
<th>Column 3</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="display:none">Data 1.1</td>
<td>Data 1.2</td>
<td>Data 1.3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Data 2.1</td> <!-- WHOOPS -->
<td>Data 2.2</td>
<td>Data 2.3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="display:none">Data 3.1</td>
<td>Data 3.2</td>
<td>Data 3.3</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Long and short, check the rendered output and ensure that each th/td in the column you are hiding ended up with the display:none style.

PHP foreach loop and separate rows with a field that has the same value

I have a database table that has a field in the row of which can have the same value. This is a "transaction id" field that will have the order number. The rows can have the same order number but different product id's for each item ordered.
I'm querying the database just fine and outputting the data as well. However, I want to separate the transaction id's that are the same and do something different with that data. I just can figure out how to do that for some reason.
example:
ID txn_id product_id Product_name field5
-------- --------- ----------- --------- ---------
1 265 98 Product Name
2 265 99 Product Name
3 244 98 Product Name
UPDATE
So here is my updated code that still needs help. I have two queries going now. One that checks for duplicates and places them into an array, then the other that loops through the database table with an if statement which checks for matching transaction id numbers.
First Query:
$myquery = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT txn_id , COUNT(*) FROM test_table HAVING COUNT(*) > 1");
global $TXN;
foreach($myquery as $query){
$TXN= $query->txn_id;
}
Then in the main query/loop
global $wpdb;
$prepare_query = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM test_table" );
foreach($prepare_query as $data){
$txn_id = $data->txn_id;
$product_id = $data->product_id;
$product_name = $data->product_name;
?>
<table class="shop_table my_account_orders" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th align="left">Order #</th>
<th align="left">Product ID</th>
<th align="left">Product Name</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="order">
<td>
<?php echo "#" .$txn_id; ?>
<?php
if($txn_id === $TXN){
echo'YES';
}
?>
</td>
<td>
<?php echo $product_id; ?>
</td>
<td>
<?php echo $product_name; ?>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<?php } ?>
This will output:
<table width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th align="left">Order #</th>
<th align="left">Product ID</th>
<th align="left">Product Name</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>#265 YES</td>
<td>98</td>
<td>Product Name</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th align="left">Order #</th>
<th align="left">Product ID</th>
<th align="left">Product Name</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>#265 YES</td>
<td>99</td>
<td>Product Name</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th align="left">Order #</th>
<th align="left">Product ID</th>
<th align="left">Product Name</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>#244</td>
<td>98</td>
<td>Product Name</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
When what I want to get is:
<table width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th align="left">Order #</th>
<th align="left">Product ID</th>
<th align="left">Product Name</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>#265 YES</td>
<td>98</td>
<td>Product Name</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>#265 YES</td>
<td>99</td>
<td>Product Name</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th align="left">Order #</th>
<th align="left">Product ID</th>
<th align="left">Product Name</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>#244</td>
<td>98</td>
<td>Product Name</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

To get the duplicated ids you could use:
SELECT id,txn_id , COUNT(*)
FROM table_name
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
Replace of course table_name with the name of your table

I ended up doing it this way:
$myArray = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM " . $license_table);
$newArray=array();
foreach($myArray as $val){
$newKey=$val->txn_id;
$newArray[$newKey][]=$val;
}
print_r($newArray);
foreach ($newArray as $key => $array){
?>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr class="header">
<td width="73%" valign="top">KEY</td>
<td width="73%" valign="top">Product Id</td>
<td width="27%" valign="top">Product Name</td>
</tr>
<?php
foreach($array as $values) {
?>
<tr class="details">
<td width="27%" valign="top"><?php echo $key; ?></td>
<td width="73%" valign="top"><?php echo $values->product_id; ?></td>
<td width="27%" valign="top"><?php echo $values->product_name ?></td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
</table>
<?php
}

How to set the highchart and the table horizontally?

This is what my highchart looks like atm
I kinda want the chart to be on the right side while the table to be on the left
this is my html:
<div id="words" style="width:70%;float:left;">
<table border="1" class="highchart" data-graph-container-before="1" data-graph-type="column">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Word</th>
<th>Count</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>icon</td>
<td>12</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>text</td>
<td>12</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>your</td>
<td>9</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>post</td>
<td>6</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>document</td>
<td>5</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>with</td>
<td>5</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>parentNode</td>
<td>4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>email</td>
<td>4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>com"</td>
<td>4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>googletag</td>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
What should i do to achieve such output?

If you can change HTML, then simply put table before Highcharts container and set proper styles (float, width). For example you can also use two divs: http://jsfiddle.net/68qdew8g/
<div style="float: left; width: 30%;">
<table border="1" class="highchart" data-graph-container-before="1" data-graph-type="column">
...
</table>
</div>
<div id="words" style="width:70%;float:left;"></div>
