Editable, Scrollable Grid

brock.parker
Hello,

I need to create an editable, scrollable grid on my application's forms.  Ideally the grid would look something like this:  www.activewidgets.com.  Is there any built-in support for a Javascript widget like this?  I have tried wrapping an HTML table (using xforms:repeat) inside a DIV tag, but I can't get the scrolling to behave consistently between IE and Firefox.

Thanks,

Brock Parker

Built-in, no.

You should be able to get somewhere this way, though.

This said, that would of course be a very useful (and cool)
feature. We have been thinking about using xforms:repeat/@number
attribute to allow for something like this: @number tells
xforms:repeat how many items should be shown to the user at a given
time, and using scrolling and/or paging looks like a good way to
interpret this.

For now, you have to roll your own, or to help us implement
@number ;-)
