I have a dynamically generated tables the foot of the table contain some text fields when click on save i want to add the value of text fields to the body of that table .
here is the table
<table border="1" class="entity_table">
<tfoot>
<tr>
<td>
<div class="pane1"></div>
<div class="pane2">
<input type="text" id="name"><br>
<select id="data">
<option value="1">int</option>
<option value="2">tinyint</option>
</select>
<br><span id="save">save</span>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tfoot>
<tbody class="table-body" id='myid'></tbody>
</table>
i did this but this is id specific ..i want to update that specific table on which it is clicked and edited .
var myName = document.getElementById("name");
var data = document.getElementById("data");
var Mtable = document.getElementById("myid");
var rowCount = Mtable.rows.length;
var mrow = Mtable.insertRow(rowCount);
var mcell = mrow.insertCell(0);
mcell.innerHTML = myName.value;
var mcell1 = mrow.insertCell(1);
mcell1.innerHTML = size.value;
i want to update each dynamically generated table with values that is entered in its table's foot section
You can use below jQuery :
$(function(){
$('#save').click(function(){
$(this).closest('table').find('tbody').append('<tr><td>'+$('#name').val()+' and '+$('#data').val()+'</td></tr>');
});
});
Demo
EDIT - to eliminate input and select box id dependency use below code :
$(function(){
$('#save').click(function(){
var name = $(this).closest('tr').find('input[type=text]').val();
var data = $(this).closest('tr').find('select').val();
$(this).closest('table').find('tbody').append('<tr><td>'+name+' and '+data+'</td></tr>');
});
});
Demo
So if I understood this right, you dont want to use element's ID to select it.
You have some else options if you dont want to work with elements IDs:
1) You can add them some data- attribute, for example: data-id. And based on this you select your element like this:
myElement.querySelector("[data-id='X']") where myElement is some parent element of your tables and X is their ID which you generated before (lets say it will start from 0 and will increment with every next table).
2) If possible, work with objects. When you create your tables, you either create them with raw text with defining html elements or you create new elements with calling createElement("table") on document keyword. If second option is your option, you can save this elements to some array (myTables in this case) and then approach this elements in a standard way - lets say:
myTables[0].getElementsByTagName("input")
Hope it helps your issue. Hope I understood issue you were asking about.

I have a table with a checkbox in the table header, which will be used to toggle all the checkboxes below it. I've add a JavaScript function to the checkbox in the header, but so far it only selects the top checkbox (one checkbox) instead of all of them. Any suggestions or advice on what I've done wrong or what to research?
HTML table header code:
<thead>
<tr>
<th><center><input type="checkbox" value="" id="cbgroup1_master" onchange="togglecheckboxes(this,'cbgroup1')"></center></th>
<th>Sender</th>
<th>Receiver</th>
<th>Subject</th>
<th>Date</th>
</tr>
</thead>
PHP table code:
$table .= '
<tr>
<td><center><input type="checkbox" id="cb1_1" class="cbgroup1"></center></td>
<td>'.$sender.'</td>
<td>'.$receiver.'</td>
<td>'.$subject.'</td>
<td>'.$time.'</td>
</tr>';
Javascript code:
function togglecheckboxes(master,cn){
var cbarray = document.getElementsByClassName(cn);
for(var i = 0; i < cbarray.length; i++){
var cb = document.getElementById(cbarray[i].id);
cb.checked = master.checked;
}
}
The problem is you setting the same ID (cb1_1) to all the checkboxes (which is invalid in HTML) Id should be unique in the page. Thus, it only select the first found checkbox and discard the rest. To resolve this give unique ids to checkboxes.
$table .= '
<tr>
<td><center><input type="checkbox" id="cb1_'.$pmid.'" class="cbgroup1"></center></td>
<td>'.$sender.'</td>
<td>'.$receiver.'</td>
<td>'.$subject.'</td>
<td>'.$time.'</td>
</tr>';
Note: I just use the $pmid just as an example you should use appropriate value as per your scenario
I see 2 issues with you code.
(Probably) using the same id for multiple DOM elements
Your PHP code suggests that you are probably using a loop to create the checkboxes but you are using the same id for all of them "cb1_1".
Same as #atul here.
Improperly selecting your checkbox elements
Since you are using the same id for all inputs,
var cb = document.getElementById(cbarray[i].id);always returns the same element. A way to solve it is to use the solution provided by #atul
Another way is to rewrite your javascript as follows :
function togglecheckboxes(master,cn){
var cbarray = document.getElementsByClassName(cn);
for(var i = 0; i < cbarray.length; i++){
var cb = cbarray[i];
cb.checked = master.checked;
}
}
Your cbarray is already your checkboxes array, so it is redundant (aka useless) to call document.getElementById(cbarray[i].id) to get the element when you already have it with cbarray[i].
I have a bit of HTML here:
<tr taskId="(#=obj.task.id#)" assigId="(#=obj.assig.id#)" class="assigEditRow" >
<td><select name="resourceId" class="get-resources formElements"></select></td>
<td><span class="resources-units"></span></td>
<td><span class="resources-quantity"></span></td>
<td><input type="text" placeholder="Required Q"></td>
<td align="center"><span class="teamworkIcon delAssig" style="cursor: pointer">d</span></td>
</tr>
And a bit of JS here:
'use strict';
function addResourceFunction(){
let ResourcesJSON = (json) => {
let Resources = json;
console.log(Resources);
let contactsLength = json.length;
let arrayCounter = -1;
let resID;
let resName;
let resUnit;
let resQuantity;
let Option = $('<option />');
let assignedID = $('tr.assigEditRow:last').attr("assigId");
while(arrayCounter <= contactsLength) {
arrayCounter++;
resID = Resources[arrayCounter].ID;
resName = Resources[arrayCounter].name;
resUnit = Resources[arrayCounter].unit;
resQuantity = Resources[arrayCounter].quantity;
$('.assigEditRow').last().find('select').append($('<option>', {
value: resName.toString(),
text: resName.toString(),
resourceID: resID.toString(),
resourceUnit: resUnit.toString(),
resourceQuantity: resQuantity.toString()
}));
}
}
$.getJSON("MY JSON URL IS HERE", function(json) {
ResourcesJSON(json);
});
};
So what's actually going on here: I get my data from the URL (JSON array), trigger the addResourceFunction() on click to create a new table row and to add a new select with options passed from the array. As you see from my HTML markup, the select input is placed in td.get-resources, and all that works good. I get my date set, I populate the select field and all works good. I can add as many rows/select dropdowns as I want.
Also, every option has a few custom attributes (you can see it in my JS code above), and I want to add the values of those attributes to the second and third column of the row (in HTML those are span.resources-units and span.resources-quantity). The thing is, I have no clue how to make it work 1:1, meaning that one select dropdown "alters" only units and quantity of its own row. Below is the code for that:
let idCounter = 1;
$(document).on('change', '.get-resources', function() {
$('.assigEditRow').last().find('.resources-units').attr('id', 'units-' + idCounter);
$('.assigEditRow').last().find('.resources-quantity').attr('id', 'quantity-' + idCounter);
this.resourceUn = $( ".get-resources option:selected" ).attr( "resourceUnit" );
this.resourceQuant = $( ".get-resources option:selected" ).attr( "resourceQuantity" );
$('#units-' + idCounter).append(this.resourceUn);
$('#quantity-' + idCounter).append(this.resourceQuant);
idCounter++;
});
What happens is that if I add one select input, and change options, the thing works. When I add another one and change its options, it gets attributes of the first one. Adding more - same thing. Whatever I change, it takes the attribute value of the first item added.
Try getting the id from the element instead of from the variable, since you always update the element with the id of the counter, instead of the element with the id of the row that was clicked.
Hmm, what does the counter do exactly? The more I look at it, the less I understand. What I do know is that you're not selecting the correct elements by using the idCounter to reference the correct row.
You want to do something like
$(document).on('change', '.get-resources', function() {
//var row = this;
this.find(/* Some path to the second column */).att(/* some att to change */);
this.find(/* Some path to the third column */).att(/* some att to change */);
});
where you always use the row as the root again, instead of finding a certain id, so you only update that row.
Native:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<select>
<option data-text="resName1" data-resourceID="resID1" data-resourceUnit="resUnit1" data-resourceQuantity="resQuantity1">1</option>
<option data-text="resName2" data-resourceID="resID2" data-resourceUnit="resUnit2" data-resourceQuantity="resQuantity2">2</option>
<option data-text="resName3" data-resourceID="resID3" data-resourceUnit="resUnit3" data-resourceQuantity="resQuantity3">3</option>
</select>
</td>
<td>
<div class="column2"></div>
</td>
<td>
<div class="column3"></div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<script>
document.addEventListener('change', function ( event ) {
var select = event.target,
option = select.options[select.selectedIndex],
values = {
'text' : option.getAttribute('data-text'),
'resourceID' : option.getAttribute('data-resourceID'),
'resourceUnit' : option.getAttribute('data-resourceUnit'),
'resourceQuantity' : option.getAttribute('data-resourceQuantity')
},
row = select.parentNode.parentNode,/* depending on how deep the select is nested into the tr element */
column2 = row.querySelector('.column2'),
column3 = row.querySelector('.column3');
column2.textContent = 'some string with the values you want';
column3.textContent = 'some string with the other values you want';
});
</script>
Basically you start with the select that was changed, from there you get the option node that was clicked. Then you get the attributes you need from that option. Then you go up a few nodes to the row parent and find the two columns inside that row. Then you can set the content of these two columns.
I am trying to create a prepopulated form that pulls values from any selected row in a HTML table . The HTML page is populated by a JSP .
my table looks like this
<table id="data-table" id="test">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>value1</th>
<th>value2</th>
<th>value3</th>
<th>value4</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td id="class1"><%= value.valueOne() %></td>
<td id="class2"><%= value.valueTwo() %></td>
<td id="class3"><%= value.valueThree() %></td>
<td id="class4"><%= value.valueFour() %></td>
</tr>
<%
}
%>
</tbody>
</table>
I want to obtain a prepopulated form with the row values on click of a particular row . I have some js code that does this .
$(document).on("click", ".data-table .class1", function(e) {
var value = $(this).closest('tr').val();
console.log(value);
// Just to check if I get the correct value
});
unfortunately I cannot understand how to get the values for that particular row from the DOM and populate it in a form , That I want to overlay over the table . I would appreciate any pointers . I really would have written more code but I dnt know Jquery and am stuck
Your general strategy should be this:
Populate the table on the server side: done
Have the form pre-existing in the page, but hidden with css (display:none)
Register a click listener on all tr elements to:
find the values inside each td within the tr
select the corresponding form inputs
populate the inputs using jQuery's val(value) function.
unhide the form if it's hidden
With this in mind, I would change your click listener from document to something like this. (Note: I'm assuming value.valueOne() are just numbers or strings, and don't contain any html.
//target just TR elements
$('tr').click(function(){
values = [];
$(this).children().each(function(){
//add contents to the value array.
values.push($(this).html())
});
//fill in the form values
populateForm(values);
});
Populate form would completely depend on your form's HTML, but to get you started here's an idea of what it might look like:
function populateForm(values){
//set the value of the input with id of name to the value in the first td.
$('#name').val(values[0]);
//show the form (id inputForm) now that it's populated
$('#inputForm').show();
}
A couple things are wrong with your html markup and your JQuery selector. You'll never be able to execute the code you've provided...
You have two 'id' parameters in this element, <table id="data-table" id="test">... This will work with the JQuery I've fixed below, but it's malformed html either way.
In your selector, you are using the syntax for finding an element based on it's css class attribute, however your elements in your HTML have those values set as 'id' attributes. Thus, this, $(document).on("click", ".data-table .class1", function(e) {... should be written as follows, $(document).on("click", "#data-table #class1", function(e) {
Now, if you are attempting to get the values within all of the 'td' elements within a row, then all you really need to do is get the parent element of the 'td' that was clicked, and then get it's children. Then, for each child, get their values.
Like this...
$(document).on("click", "#data-table #class1", function(e) {
var elements = $(this).parent().children();
$.each(elements, function(index, el){
alert($(el).html());
});
});
I've saved a JSFiddle for you to see this in action... http://jsfiddle.net/2LjQM/
val() is used to return value of form inputs. You are using it to try to get the value of a row and row has no value.
Without seeing what your output into the TD as html, I assume it is a form control
Try
$(document).on("click", ".data-table .class1", function(e) {
var value = $(this).find(':input').val(); // `:input pseudo selector wull access any form control input,select,textarea
console.log(value);
// Just to check if I get the correct value
});
EDIT: if the TD contains text
var value = $(this).text();
Instead of scraping the DOM, you could invert the logic, and build the rows using javascript instead. Check out this jsBin to see the solution in action: http://jsbin.com/aligaZi/2/edit?js,output
Start with an empty table:
<table class="data-table" id="test">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>value1</th>
<th>value2</th>
<th>value3</th>
<th>value4</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
</tbody>
</table>
Since you need to fill a form with the data, I'll be using a simple one as an example:
<form class="data-form">
<label>Value1<input class="value1" /></label>
<label>Value2<input class="value2" /></label>
<label>Value3<input class="value3" /></label>
<label>Value4<input class="value4" /></label>
</form>
Then, on the javascript side:
$(function() {
// Interpolate the values somehow.
// I'm not familiar with JSP syntax, but it shouldn't be too hard.
// I will use dummy data instead.
var tableData = [
{
value1: "row1-v1",
value2: "row1-v2",
value3: "row1-v3",
value4: "row1-v4"
}, {
value1: "row2-v1",
value2: "row2-v2",
value3: "row2-v3",
value4: "row2-v4"
}
];
// For each object, create an HTML row
var rows = $.map(tableData, function(rowData) {
var row = $("<tr></tr>");
row.append($('<td class="class1"></td>').html(rowData.value1));
row.append($('<td class="class2"></td>').html(rowData.value2));
row.append($('<td class="class3"></td>').html(rowData.value3));
row.append($('<td class="class4"></td>').html(rowData.value4));
// When this row is clicked, the form must be filled with this object's data
row.on("click", function() {
fillForm(rowData);
});
return row;
});
$(".data-table").append(rows);
function fillForm(rowData) {
var form = $(".data-form");
form.find("input.value1").val(rowData.value1);
form.find("input.value2").val(rowData.value2);
form.find("input.value3").val(rowData.value3);
form.find("input.value4").val(rowData.value4);
}
});
My vb.net program is generating a checkboxlist with several checkboxes. While building the checkboxes, I'm also setting a couple of Attributes. When the user clicks the box, I'm trying to access the values of the attributes in javascript.
The vb.net looks like this:
L = New ListItem
thisROLEn = "A"
L.Value = dr("apr_key")
L.Text = Trim(dr("apr_name"))
L.Attributes("Role" & thisROLEn) = Trim(dr("ROLE_DESC"))
L.Attributes("Title") = AppToolTip
AppList.Items.Add(L)
Here's what a TR section of the generated html looks like:
<tr>
<td>
<span RoleA="User" RoleB="Admin" Title="Approve access">
<input id="MainContent_AppList_0" type="checkbox" name="ctl00$MainContent$AppList$0" value="7" />
<label for="MainContent_AppList_0">Finance</label>
</span>
</td>
I can get the value of the checkbox just fine. My question is how do I access the value of "RoleA" from javascript?
Basic idea based off your comment.
var checkbox= document.getElementById("MainContent_AppList_0");
var span = checkbox.parentNode;
var isChecked = checkbox.checked;
var roleA = span.RoleA;
You can get the attribute value by getAttribute
document.getElementById('MainContent_AppList_0').parentNode.getAttribute("roleA")
As you mentioned you are able to access check box, based on that I have created a sample pseudo code here:
var a=document.getElementsById('ctl00$MainContent$AppList$0');
var b = a.parentNode;
var roleA = b.getAttribute('RoleA');
Hope it helps.
Just looking for the best practise way of doing this.
I have a table listing information and in the last column is a button with "Edit/View". When the user clicks on the button a div area appears with more information which can be edited
Code below with some fragments of jstl
<script type="text/javascript">
//Click on Edit/View on table
$('.viewCustomer').click(function()
{
.......
});
</script>
<tr class="odd">
<td>${customerBean.comName}</td>
<td>${customerBean.comCode}</td>
<td class="noRightPad"> <input type="submit" name="createBut" value="View/Edit" class="viewCustomer" /> </td>
</tr>
So my question would be:
(1) how do i pass a variable to function $('.viewCustomer').click(function()
(2) is this the best way of going about to do this. Is there a more efficient/secure/cleaner of doing this?
Cheers
Alexis
The click function will not be called by you. It is called when the button is clicked, and as such has the event object passed to it:
$('.viewCustomer').click(function(evt){
.......
});
What exactly are you wanting to pass? You can access the DOM element that you are clicking using this and $(this), so maybe it possible to reference what you want from here.
EDIT For comment
if the user clicked on the button that
was in the 4th row of the table and in
that row the another colum had
customer id 1234 i want to pass the
variable 1234.
NOTE: None of the below has been tested, but ought to suffice
Let's assume your 'customer id' column has a classname of 'customerid'. So your HTML might be:
<tr class="odd">
<td>${customerBean.comName}</td>
<td class="customerid">${customerBean.comCode}</td>
<td class="noRightPad"> <input type="submit" name="createBut" value="View/Edit" class="viewCustomer" /> </td>
</tr>
The jQuery might look something like:
$('.viewCustomer').click(function(){
var $buttonCell = $(this).parent(); //the <td> containing the button
var $buttonRow = $buttonCell.parent(); //the <tr> containing the button and your customer id
var $customerIdCell = $buttonRow.find("td.customerid");
var customerId = $customerIdCell.text();
});
The above is proken down into lines to show you how stuff is being retrieved. Using 'chaining' we can express it more concisely:
$('.viewCustomer').click(function(){
var customerId = $(this).parent().parent().find("td.customerid").text();
}
You can also search for the customerid cell as a 'sibling' of the button cell for an even more concise approach (and one less function call).
$('.viewCustomer').click(function(){
var customerId = $(this).parent().siblings("td.customerid").text();
}
