Cells containing NA cause error with tableHTML formatting arguments

[smithn27]

Hi there,

First off - I want to say the tableHTML package has been very helpful to me and fairly intuitive, even for this new R user!

I'm writing because I was having an issue with the add_css_conditional_column() argument when trying to add background-color to cells based on their values. After trying various things, I submitted the question on Stack Overflow. The first answer told me two things:

1. My initial problem was a stupid one - the cells I was trying to format contained strings, not numbers
2. Even after converting cell contents to numbers, the tableHTML command generates an error which prevents the command from running, and (according to the answerer, who seems quite knowledgeable) is easily fixable on the back end of tableHTML()

I am requesting a fix to tableHTML(), to address the error and hopefully also the warning generated when running tableHTML on dataframes such as mine. I will point you to the Stack Overflow posting, since it contains sufficient code to reproduce the problem. I'm sorry to not describe it myself - I am new to R and the person who answered my Stack Overflow question did a good job of describing the issues with tableHTML.

Thank you very much! tableHTML is helping me format a table of study data which will help advance some interesting medical research, so I really appreciate your work on this package.

Hi there - just checking in to see if anyone has had a chance to look into this. I think it should be a fairly simple fix, and it would allow me to use conditional formatting to really enhance some data frames I am working with. Thank you,
