Add a boolean flag to your POJO (domain model object type). When you click the details link, set it to true and refresh the table.
When the table refreshes it will hit your DataProvider which will be in charge of adding the new POJO with the description at the right location in the list (after the one elements that have been marked with true) for the current page. Then when the table renders, you would grab a hold of the cell's TD element and set its "colspan" attribute to the number of the columns and render the HTML you want in it (see how toolbars to the same thing). As an idea, you might need a second flag to represent the type of the row (simplified or detailed) or use inheritance and store the type flag at the parent class and your collection should hold children as returned via a getRowContent() method. ~ Thank you, Paul Bors -----Original Message----- From: William Speirs [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2012 10:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Dynamically Toggling a Details Row in a DataTable Paul- I've modified my DataProvider to provide double the rows. I've also extended DataTable to set display: hidden on the details row and also to expand the first column to all of the columns. The main issue I'm having now is linking the button (in say the first column) to something which can change the attributes of the cell. I guess my main question is, what should control the stat of if a details row is hidden or not?
