I have the following page using Dojo 1.3.1 javascript toolkit
Content Pane
HTML table two columns, N rows
Column 1 (left): text
Column 2 (right) Dojo widget (can be any, but mostly Grids, pullodwn, etc)
Problem:
When page loads, it renders Ok (the type of widget and the number per page are determined at runtime, so I cannot manage this with static CSS)
When I add rows to the grid, while it is embedded in the Table cell
<td> grid </td>
the the given row (where the grid is embedded) gets
proportionally taller and
everything below the grid disappears and there is no scroll bars on the Content Pane
to get to the the rows below.
I do not know how to solve it, I have set 100% or auto height and width on
everything around the page. That does not help.
I am wondering if my design approach is wrong and it is unsolveable.
I have read about people telling not to use Tables for layout, but
I do not know at design time the order and the type of controls that I will
be displaying.
How else can this be done?
I think the problem is that when a grid is within a Table cell,
and the grid expands, the cell expands, but the holding content pane is not aware
it so borders do not get redrawn.
You could use CSS for layout -- what is it that tables can do and CSS don't? Or, you could try using another dojo grid instead of that HTML table, depending on what you're after.
Dijit's widgets work like normal nodes as much as possible. But many widgets, especially ones that let the user define what size things are (as you can with column widths in the grid) need to know specific dimensions.
The good news is that with most of these widgets, you can get an instance of the widget, and call widget.resize();

I am using Material UI table components (which is not more than a styled and convenient API for HTML table elements) and I want to make my columns expand collapse on click.
This means that I need that when I click on a column, its sub-columns will be visible and all the rows will also show values for the sub-columns, and when I click on the main column again, the sub-columns will collapse and be invisible again, along with all the values in the rows for those sub columns.
I would also like it to be animated with a nice transition of the columns expanding from the main column into view and collapsing into the main column to invisible.
It doesn't necessarily need to be in react or using MUI, it could regular HTML and CSS, but the animations are crucial!
Thank you in advance for the help :)
I tried to use MUI tables components with the Collapse component (which is an animation component to put things into view with a nice transition) but it was neither smooth nor pretty and not even working properly as the columns were sometimes not aligned..
I've looked everywhere on google and couldn't find any example/library for such a feature anywhere.
I was only able to find examples for expand/collapse rows..
I have a bokeh project that looks very similar to this https://demo.bokeh.org/movies
Now I would like to make it possible to hide/unhide the column on the left.
I know how to hide it following the solution from here https://discourse.bokeh.org/t/hiding-bokeh-elements/4335/2
The problem is now where to put a button which would show the column again.
I thought of the following:
When hiding the column make another button visible which will allow to unhide the column. This is easy but adding a new widget to the layout would defeat the purpose of hiding the column since either way I would have a big button visible on the screen affecting the position of the figure. Is there some way of adding a new button widget which does not affect the whole layout?
Adding a new tool to the figure which would call the unhide the column. I am not sure though if this can be done easily.
BACKGROUND: I have a jQuery datatable on my website that I want to look, act, and feel like a table on desktop sizes. When it hits a small screen size (as definied by Foundation - 39.9375em), I want to hide the header and footer (which I already basically figured out) and have the first column take up the full width of the page and force all the other columns to a child row. The other columns just have buttons/links that take you to other pages having to do with the name of the row. Things like settings, status, etc.
QUESTION: How do I force the column to take up the full width?
WHAT I'VE ALREADY TRIED: I tried setting white-space: nowrap, but then it just responsive hides the whole column and then I'm left with literally just the control thing. So it's like an accordion. I tried to look up how to force the other columns to be hidden responsively, but I couldn't find anything and I can't think of any way to do it myself.
Thanks in advance!
After some playing around, I found a solution on this page of the datatables documentation: https://datatables.net/extensions/responsive/classes. For all of the columns except the title column, I simply put className: 'min-tablet-l'. That way, as soon as we hit landscape tablet size, the columns are automatically thrown into the child row and the control turns up that lets me show/hide it is shown too.
I need a table as shown in the image.
The requirements are:
the header row (very first blurred row) is fixed when we start scrolling down the table
the first column is fixed when we start horizontal scrolling
additionally, as we scroll down, the colspanned rows in black color (I'll call it the row-group heading row) - "Title 1" and "Title 2" - will become fixed, below the header row, when all rows that belong to its group are in view. And when we scroll further down, and when the next group of rows come into view, the previous row-group heading row will go away and in its place (right below the fixed main header row) the row-group heading row that corresponds to the rows in current view will be fixed.
We're building a react app. We checked out: react-sticky-table, and other non-react libraries like: Stickytable and Sticky-kit.
None of them seem to be doing what we want.
Is there a JS (react or non-react and preferably non-jquery) library that does this?
If not, assuming that we get the first-row header and the first column fixed using any of the above mentioned libraries, is there a way to make the row-group heading rows fixed/static based on scrolling?
I also prefer the table be built using <table> group of elems, and not just divs. But it's not a strict requirement.
UPDATE: Just found this plugin that seems to be doing this: http://maslianok.github.io/stickyRows/multiplerows.html. It's great, but keeping this question open for pureJS or react solution.
I have worked on the same UI but it was the mixture of pure javascript and jQuery, however less concerned about the front end library, as most of them fail at certain point of requirement or amount of data.
I suggest go with your own solution I did the same it is acceptable to clients since 5 years.
1. Create a separate tables for your header and content.
2. Give each cloumn exactly same column span width. E.g. ,<colspan width="50px">
3. Place a separate table with one column in LHS.
4. Write a code in javascript which scrolls your LHS table along with your main table.
Apologies as it is hard to give working example.
I want to increase row height of ng-grid. For example if my cell content increase to more then 3 lines then I want to show a button and then after click on that button the row size increase and show the remaining content of the cell. I am new in angular js so kindly help me. I also try this plugin but it wont work in my case.
This will not work with ng-grid since it simulates a table by positioning divs in a grid manner. So if you try to increase the height of a row, you have to readjust the top positions of all following rows (eg. cell-like divs) which is simply not in the code.
Better look out for a table based solution like ng-table which has all the fancy features of ng-grid, like sorting, filtering, pagination etc.
Since the structure is based on the browsers native table functions you can leave the proper calculation of dynamic row heights to it's way more powerful rendering engine.
Just look around, there are more than one powerful directives for tables.
