Get calling table from column option

I have a few Bootstrap table on one page. Each table has some data attributes (like data-link="test-page" and so on). Besides that, one column of each Bootstrap table uses a column formatter, using data-formatter="actionFormatter". However, I want to get the current table data attributes when actionFormatter is called, so based on the data attributes I can return a string.
Both this and $(this) return an Object, which doesn't work. $(this).closest('table').data() doesn't work either, while I expected that one to be the most true.
Here's the code I use:
<th data-field="actions" data-formatter="actionFormatter" data-events="actionEvents">Actions</th>
this returns a JSON object with the row properties, and $(this).closest('table').data(XXX) return undefined. I expected it to return an array with all the data attributes.
Is there any way to get the current processing table from within the formatter?
Example code:
<!-- table 1 -->
<table
data-actions="edit,remove"
data-url="some/url"
>
<thead>
<tr>
<th data-formatter="actionFormatter">Actions</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
<!-- table 2 -->
<table
data-actions="edit,remove"
data-url="some/url"
>
<thead>
<tr>
<th data-formatter="actionFormatter">Actions</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
// actionFormatter:
function actionFormatter(value, row, index, field) {
// get data-actions from the right table somehow,
// and return a string based on data-url/other
// data attributes
}

It seems that when the action formatter is called, the execution context this is an object with all the bootstrap table row associated data as well as all the data-* attributes of the row.
Taking that into account you can add an id to each table and a data-table-id attribute to your rows like:
<table
id="table-1"
data-actions="edit,remove"
data-url="some/url"
>
<thead>
<tr>
<th data-formatter="actionFormatter" data-table-id="table-1">Actions</th>
</tr>
</thead>
so that in your formatter you can retrieve the table DOM Element by using that id:
function actionFormatter(value, row, index, field) {
// get data-actions from the right table somehow,
// and return a string based on data-url/other
// data attributes
var data = $('#' + this.tableId).data();
}

How to filter multiple table entries with search

How do I filter through the tables and only show the ones matching the keywords the user types?
I want to be able to have multiple tables within the page, but I want to still be able to show and hide based on user input.
<!-- <table class="responsive-stacked-table with-mobile-labels tablesection">
<tr>
<th>Submitted By</th>
<th>Egg or Nestling?</th>
<th>How Many?</th>
<th>Location</th>
<th>Description of Nest</th>
<th>Possible Species?</th>
<th>Edit // Delete</th>
</tr> -->
<br><table class="responsive-stacked-table with-mobile-labels tablesection">
<tr>
<th>Submitted By</th>
<th>Date Submitted</th>
<th>Egg or Nestling?</th>
<th>How Many?</th>
<th>Location</th>
<th>Description of Nest</th>
<th>Possible Species?</th>
<th>Edit // Delete</th>
</tr><tr><td data-label='Submitted By:' ><img src='images/profilepics/levi.jpg'class= 'img-circle submittedbypicture' > <br>partymo</td><td data-label='Date Submitted:' ><br> Last Edited: <br> </td><td data-label='Egg or Nestling:' >egg</td><td data-label='How Many:'>3</td><td data-label='Location:'>$nest['profilepicfile']</td><td data-label='Description:'>$nest['profilepicfile']</td><td data-label='Possible Species:'>edit if you know!</td><td>Edit // Delete</td></tr></table><br><br><br><br><table class="responsive-stacked-table with-mobile-labels tablesection">
<tr>

<th>Date Submitted</th>
<th>Egg or Nestling?</th>

If I understand correctly, you basically want tables that can be filtered using a textbox?
If you're thinking js-based client-side filtering, and you're fine using jQuery, you could set up your HTML like so:
<input type="textbox" class="fitler-input" data-for="filterable-table1">
<table id="filterable-table1">
...
</table>
then you could use jQuery to do something like
<script type="text/javascript">
function filterfunction(tablerow,testvalue) {
// sample filter: include rows where any cell contains the testvalue text
return tablerow.text().toLowerCase().indexOf(testvalue.toLowerCase()) > -1;
}
jQuery(function($){
$(".filter-input").each(function(){ // start by iterating all filter textboxes
var $filter = $(this); // select the filter
var $table = $("#"+$filter.data("for")); // select this filter's table
$filter.on("change keydown keyup keypress", function(){ // whenever user types in box,
setTimeout(function(){ // timeout makes the value retrieval more instant
var $rows = $table.find(">tr, >tbody>tr"); // get all table rows
var value = $filter.val(); // get this filter's new value
$rows.each(function(){ // go through all rows, and test against filter
var $row = $(this); // get this row
if(filterfunction($row,value)) // test this row
$row.show(); // it matches
else
$row.hide(); // it doesn't match
});
},1);
});
});
});
</script>
This would also be something you could do in vanilla js (i.e., using no libraries), but it'd take a bit more time and code.
And here's a JSFiddle to demonstrate it in action.
EDIT:
Just my opinion, but:
As per #Peter-Rakmanyi's comment, if your site / webapp / interface is heavily data-driven, and you plan on having a lot of HTML manipulation based on user input, AngularJS might be something you should consider looking into. It would require a little refactoring of your HTML (which might mean some php tweaks), but it may be worth it.
If this is one of only a few small cases you'll need filtering for, you can probably just get away with using jQuery.

Accessing <td> in HTML Table Using JavaScript

I am trying to attach a row to an editable table using data from an array. In order to do this, I'm adding a row, then utilizing a save feature in order to manipulate the s of the row. My HTML table is:
<table id="tblData" class="table table-hover">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Date</th>
<th>Time</th>
<th>Treatment Number</th>
<th>Cell Number</th>
<th>Waste Container Number</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody></tbody>
</table>
Being that the array data will be entered into the most recently added row, I've just accessed that using the code below, however now I am struggling to access the actual cells. My current code is:
function UpSave(rowData) {
var tblData = document.getElementById("tblData");
var lastRow = tblData.rows[tblData.rows.length - 1 ];
var tdDate = lastRow.children("td:nth-child(1)");
var tdTime = lastRow.children("td:nth-child(2)");
var tdTreatmentNum = lastRow.children("td:nth-child(3)");
var tdCellNum = lastRow.children("td:nth-child(4)");
console.log(par);
var tdWasteContNum = lastRow.children("td:nth-child(5)");
var tdButtons = lastRow.children("td:nth-child(6)");
tdDate.html(tdDate.children(data[rowData][0]));
tdTime.html(tdTime.children(data[rowData][1]));
tdTreatmentNum.html(tdTreatmentNum.children(data[rowData][2]));
tdCellNum.html(tdCellNum.children(data[rowData][3]));
tdWasteContNum.html(tdWasteContNum.children(data[rowData][4]));
tdButtons.html("<img src='trash.png' class='btnDelete'><img src='pencil.png' class='btnEdit'><img src='up.png' class='btnUp'><img src='down.png' class='btnDown'>");
};
but the .children at the end of the variables are not valid. Any ideas on what to have instead in order to access those cells in the row?
(data is the array containing the text I'm putting into the )

It looks like you never clearly defined the variable tblData by leaving out quotations when you do your original getElementById. Add this to Replace the first line in the function:
var tblData = document.getElementById("tblData");
Adding the quotations will bind the table in the DOM to the variable, then you can do the rest of the stuff.
Revised answer using jQuery:
var $tblData = $("#tblData");
var $lastRow = $tblData.find('tr').last();
var $tdDate = $lastRow.find('td').eq(1);
var $tdTime = $lastRow.find('td').eq(2);
var $tdTreatmentNum = $lastRow.find('td').eq(3);
var $tdCellNum = $lastRow.find('td').eq(4);
//console.log(par);
var $tdWasteContNum = $lastRow.find('td').eq(5);
var $tdButtons = $lastRow.find('td').eq(6);
$tdDate.html(data[rowData][0]);
$tdTime.html(data[rowData][1]);
$tdTreatmentNum.html(data[rowData][2]);
$tdCellNum.html(data[rowData][3]);
$tdWasteContNum.html(data[rowData][4]);
$tdButtons.html("<img src='trash.png' class='btnDelete'/><img src='pencil.png' class='btnEdit'/><img src='up.png' class='btnUp'/><img src='down.png' class='btnDown'/>");
But, if you still want to use pure javascript, try changing the
.children("td:nth-child(x)");
to
.childNodes[x];
Edit note: I changed the inside of the .html(...) function calls so just use the array directly. Previously I had just copy/pasted the OP code for that portion.

get all the td elements of tr when clicked

I have a table and when user clicks into a link need to copy the content of that row and populate them into other fields e.g. edit information. How can the row content be populated as an array
<table id='mytable' border='1'>
<thead>
<th id='ID'>ID</th>
<th id='Email'>Email</th>
</thead>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>abc#gmail.com</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2</td>
<td>xyz#gmail.com</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3</td>
<td>pqr#gmail.com</td>
</tr>
</table>

Not sure why I've answered this one as your question is as vague as it is.
If you want to pull the information from a selected row into an array, here is how you can do it:
http://jsfiddle.net/KyleMuir/keJBZ/6/
var array = new Array();
$('#mytable tr').on('click', copyIntoArray);
function copyIntoArray() {
var self = $(this);
var tds = self.children('td');
array.push(tds[0].innerText, tds[1].innerText);
}
It would make a lot of sense to build up an object to push onto the array so you could have KVP or something similar to provide some context.
EDIT
Here is your fixed version. No need for the array. I also gave your inputs IDs of "email" and "username" for easier selection.
http://jsfiddle.net/KyleMuir/keJBZ/21/
Final code:
$('#mytable tr').on('click', setInformation);
function setInformation() {
$("#edit").show();
var self = $(this);
var tds = self.children('td');
$('#username').val(tds[1].innerText);
$('#email').val(tds[2].innerText);
}
FINAL EDIT?!? turns out FireFox doesn't support .innerText, replaced it with the jQuery to retrieve the values.
http://jsfiddle.net/KyleMuir/keJBZ/24/
This:
$('#username').val(tds[1].innerText);
$('#email').val(tds[2].innerText);
becomes:
$('#username').val($(tds[1]).text());
$('#email').val($(tds[2]).text());
Hope this helps.

Give each row an ID, and then in your JavaScript, use getElementById to get the row which is clicked. Then you can also get all the columns of that row using the same function. You can put all the columns in a var and then use that var to populate whatever you want.

table mapping by th and first td in row to populate from json object

using php to echo json array inline i want js/jquery to populate table according to these data.
HTML table
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Time</th>
<th data-day='2013-03-15'>15-3</th>
<th data-day='2013-03-16'>16-3</th>
<th data-day='2013-03-17'>17-3</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr data-time='09'>
<td>9am</td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<script>
var arr=[
{"date":"2013-03-15","id":"4","time_booked":"09:00:00"},
{"date":"2013-03-15","id":"1","time_booked":"09:10:00"},
{"date":"2013-03-17","id":"5","time_booked":"09:30:00"}
];
$.each(arr,function(){
console.log('id:'+this.id+'inside:'+this.date+'|'+this.time_booked);
});
</script>
i want to loop thro arr and according to its date and time_booked write id inside td.
for example first row will go to td with date-day='2013-03-15' and data-time='09'
so how can i do this using javascript ?
im thinking should i include data-day,data-time inside each td in tbody ? or is there a better way to do it ?
current approach:
include data-day inside each tr so html of tbody is
<tr data-time='09'>
<td data-day='2013-03-15'></td>
<td data-day='2013-03-16'></td>
etc..
</tr>
then use js
$.each(arr,function(){
var rday=this.date;
var rtime=this.time_booked;
var sel='tr[data-hr="'+rtime.substr(0,2)+'"]';
var dom=$(sel).find('td[data-day="'+rday+'"]').first();
if(dom.length)dom.append(this.id);
});
but i have a feeling its stupid ! there must be a way to map table using x,y (table head,row head) or there is none ?

I think the jQuery index function is what you're looking for. In the code sample below, I've used it to fetch the colIndex for the date. In this case, it fetches all of the th cells within the table, and uses .index(..) with a selector seeking the required date. This gives the column index of the date you're seeking, and from there it's all pretty straight-forward.
var arr=[
{"date":"2013-03-15","id":"4","time_booked":"0900"},
{"date":"2013-03-15","id":"1","time_booked":"0910"},
{"date":"2013-03-17","id":"5","time_booked":"0930"}
];
$.each(arr,function(){
var cell = GetCellByDateAndTime(this.date, this.time_booked);
$(cell).text(this.id);
});
function GetCellByDateAndTime(date, time) {
var colIndex = $("#BookingsTable th").index($("[data-day='" + date + "']"));
var row = $("#BookingsTable tr[data-time='" + time + "']")
var cell = $(row).children($("td"))[colIndex];
return cell;
}
And a Fiddle.
