I am getting some data from DB and displaying it to the users using django-table2. My application need user to select any row and based on that I am loading a different page with data relevant to the row selected in the last page. To get this working I am using two hidden fields who's value will be set when I click on some row and that will be passed at the server side for further processing..
The problem I am facing is when i click on the rows it sets the hidden field with correct value but if i click on the header of the table everything gets messed-up. To allow post back on click of the table I have used {{render_table table_name}}
in a form
tag..
My tables.py
class testTable(tables.Table): // Have used orderable=False for all the rows
release_date = tables.Column(verbose_name="Release date",orderable=False)
product_name = tables.Column(verbose_name="Product name",orderable=False)
...
class Meta:
orderable = False
Views.py
table = productTable(dic)
table.paginate(page=request.GET.get('page', 1), per_page=5)
params['table'] =table
product.html
<div>
<form method="POST" name="form-product-list" action="{% url "product" %}" id="form-product-list" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="prod_ver" value="0" id="prod_ver" />
<input type="hidden" name="release_date" value="0" id="release_date" />
{% render_table table %}
</form>
</div>
Javascript
function addRowHandlers() {
var table = document.getElementById("prod_details");
var rows = table.rows;
for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
rows[i].onclick = (function() {
return function() {
$("#prod_ver").val(this.cells[1].innerHTML);
$("#release_date").val(this.cells[0].innerHTML);
};
})(i);
}
}
Currently when I click on any row I will get prod_ver = 1
and release_date = somedate
but when I click on the header I am getting prod_ver = prod_ver
and release_date =release_date
..
Please look into this and ask if you need any clarification.
