How to do click and move event?

I have to draw a line in a table with my mouse when I click and hover over a <td> I tried the code below as a test but I can't make it work, the other problem is it sometimes shows the <table> element itself instead of <td>, should I use css to make the width and height of the table completely dependent of its tds without any gaps? How is it usually done? 

table.addEventListener('mousedown', (e) => {
        isMouseDown = true;
    table.addEventListener('mousemove', (e) => {
                if(isMouseDown) {
        console.log(e.target.innerText);
                }
    });
});
table.addEventListener('mouseup', (e) => {
         isMouseDown = false;
});

In CSS, set the table's border-spacing: 0 to remove clickable parts of the table that are between the td's.

And I'm curious .. how do you "draw a line" in the table?
