Why wrap everything in an immediately executed function? I see there is an event listener, does this not suffice to kick off the execution of code to build the table?

You wrap it in a function to make sure you don't pollute the global window object. If you don't wrap it in a function then all your variables will be automatically become properties on the window object.

Thanks, Is possible to use .csv file as offline database using html and javascript? if i want to record something very simple in few column.

[@covalence-io]

Browsers won't let you write to a csv file unless you're using something like electron to create a "native" app. I'd look into using one of the following: PouchDB, RxDB, LocalStorage, or IndexedDB

There's a serious issue with naming the variables in your code. Sometimes it's hard to understand them.
