Hopefully I'm missing something obvious here.. In .Net and Jave this is
handled transparently within the framework and I haven't had to look at
it in a while.. I'd really like a clean and valid html way to display
tabular data, but also need per row ability to do form posts without
using a js library preferred.
This snippet below works until the point when the table becomes more
complex or the the text width varies widely between columns. Source ref [0]
<!-- Tableless tables start -->
<div class="notSoWide">
<div class="table">
<div class="th">
<div class="td">Item</div>
<div class="td">Description</div>
<div class="td">Qty</div>
<div class="td">Price</div>
<div class="td"></div>
<div class="td-clear-both"></div>
</div>
<!-- start repeater -->
<form action="cart.asp" method="post" class="cmxform">
<div class="tr">
<div class="td"><%=rs("ProductID")%></div>
<div class="td"><%=rs("ProductName")%></div>
<div class="td"><%=rs("Quantity")%></div>
<div class="td"><%=FormatCurrency(curPrice)%></div>
<div class="td">
<input type="submit" value="Remove"
name="Action" class="submit" />
<input type="hidden" name="CartID"
value="<%=rs("CartID")%>" />
<input type="hidden" name="ProductID"
value="<%=rs("ProductID")%>" />
</div>
<div class="td-clear-both"></div>
</div>
</form>
<!-- loop -->
</div>
</div>
Alternatively there's something like this.. which isn't valid html and
completely out of the question..
<table>
<form ... >
<tr>
<td><input type="text"... /></td>
<td><input type="submit" ... /></td>
</tr>
</form>
or something like this which can be made valid, but I then you come
across an almost similar problem as with the div solution in that now
columns aren't guaranteed to to line up.. Unless you start forcing
width.. etc..
<table>
<tr>
<td class="one-big-td" >
<form>
<table>
.....
I'm a bit out of my normal water on this and making a working mock-up
prototype before actually write the app.. I could do what other
frameworks I've worked with do and wrap the whole table in a form and
name elements with a parseable delimiter...
<input type="text" name="foo$row$1" ... />
I know this has been tackled before, but mostly looking for interesting
feedback on how it was accomplished..
Cheers,
Christopher
