Usually > there is one main row and several "sub-rows" (in the > same color) listing non-columnar information. > For example, the following table has 3 columns of data > about a person, but each row also has a secondary row > with a comment about the person going across the > whole row. (view in monospace font) . > --------------------------- > | NAME AGE GRADE | > --------------------------- > | Johnny 10 5 | > | -has trouble reading. | > |--------------------------| > | Emily 10 5 | > | -spends too much time | > | daydreaming | > |--------------------------| > | Albert 10 5 | > | -smart kid but goofs off | > ---------------------------- > It is possible to create such rows with a > TableDecorator, but this forces the unpleasant > challenge of encoding the specific HTML for the > secondary row in the Java class itself. A unique > TableDecorator must also be created for every type of > row. It's close to impossible to display row-specific info > since the TableDecorator is called after the iteration > over the record objects is complete. > As an alternative, <display:subRow> is an easy way to > add one or more rows above or below each list row. By > specifying CSS styles that eliminate the upper border for > a row, the multi-row block for a record can look like one > contiguous row. > Example: > <display:table id="row"> > <display:column title="Name" property="name"/> > <display:column title="Name" property="age"/> > <display:column title="Name" property="grade"/> > <display:subRow oddClass="odd_subrow" > evenClass="even_subrow" > positionBelow="true"> > <td colspan="3"> > <c:out value="${row.comment}"/> > </td> > </display:subRow> > </display:table> > This is an elegant way to specify additional information > about a record that doesn't neatly fit into columnar > format. > The attached patch is in unified diff format, and is > based on displayTag 1.0rc2 snapshot. I tried to follow > existing coding guidelines but let me know if you've any > suggestions for reformatting. > I welcome any comments. > ==== > Date: 2004-08-22 00:01 > Sender: wglass > Logged In: YES > user_id=643158 > Just a quick correction re: my complaint on TableDecorator. > Yes, you can display row-specific info with > getCurrentRowObject. I had trouble with related issues not > worth discussion in this forum. Regardless, I think a new tag > for this purpose is a better approach. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
