If I'm building a table to hold multiple rows, then I don't use IDs at
all as the IDs will change for every row/page being viewed, so all the
build-up/tear-down for every pagination would seem to be redundant.
Instead, I'd code the client to rely on bubbled events so that I only
need to add 1 event to the container that won't change for each
pagination.
My input tag names would be along the lines of ...
name=tableName[id][column1Name]
That way, when they get to PHP, I have a nested array of data which
matches the structure of the data I would need to insert into the DB
as well as the structure of the data I would get from the DB.
So, 1 pattern of coding logic.
foreach($_POST['tableName'] as $i_ID = $a_Row) {
// Validate data
// $i_ID === int 0
// $a_Row['column1Name'] === string / regex / etc.
// Process row.
}
Sort of thing.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Parse html
Thanks for the reply Alphonso. I have almost completely abandoned Xml manipulation on the client-side now. I was only thinking of parsing the HTML as a way to reuse an info page that I have created as static HTML. Well, I'm back to JSON. Loving JSON on the client-side, but wish I was more proficient in hand coding and code-coding it... but worth it once you are down on the client with it!

[Proto-Scripty] Re: strange element.select issue
Hi, What is your preferred method when populating a table with results from a query? If I absolutely, positively must have an `id` for something where the value might start with a digit, I simply put an 'x' in front of it, then use `.substring(1)` later to get the real value. But that's only if I really need an ID. As Richard said, usually one doesn't need or want to assign an ID to every row in a table... -- T.J. :-) On Apr 3, 8:14 pm, Joschi Cassel josch...@gmail.com wrote: I do recall that now. Thank you.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Parse html
I write my own JSON on the backend. I use JSON.net if I need a JSON writer for code in C#. I just developed an object in PHP that sends JSON down the pipe to a requesting page. At first I was using the built-in json_encode function from a SimpleXmlElement but eventually I wrote my own as I did not much care for how that looked. PHP has great support for objects to JSON, Karl.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Prototype script.aculo.us group.

Question, Let's say you had a div / table with multiple inputs, do
you manually set the onblur for each input or observe from the
form, div?
It's kind of risky to try to observe the blur event from above the
element, because IE has serious trouble with bubbling form inputs. The
Form.Element.Observer and Form.Observer frameworks are there to work
around this problem. Have a look through the documentation.
If you wanted to do this yourself in an unobtrusive manner, you could
set an observer on each element long-hand, like this:
document.observe('dom:loaded', function(){
['field1','field2','field3'].each(function(elm){
$(elm).observe('blur',function(evt){
//do your stuff here,
//this == your element,
//evt == the blur event
});
});
});
