xforms:repeat Problem

Hi all,

I have a problem when using a custom JS script to modify the XForms repeat results (making the table sortable). From what I can see its appears to be moving the indexes around, so is there any way I can reindex the repeat to get around this? I’ve tried doing the sorting server side, but client-side is so much quicker and interactive!

Ryan,

I am not sure what you mean by "moving the indices around". Who is
moving those indices (your custom JS code, or the XForms JS code), and
what are those indices?

RE: xforms:repeat Problem

Alex,
Sorry I didn't explain myself, I've got a custom JS code that sorts
a table. This table is produced by a XForms Repeat. The code takes into
account the hidden rows that are produced, but can't change the indices that
the engine uses, so when I go to update the repeat after its sorted I get an
error. I either want to update the indices with the new order in the table
or build my code to sort the table using functions within the xforms engine?
Any ideas

Ryan,

Sequential indices are used in the generated HTML, in document order.
If you move the data around, you should not change the indices. When
data comes back from the server, you will have to do the sorting
again, keeping in mind that only the indices that have changed are
updated. So if initially you have:

3
1
2

You sort this, and it becomes:

1
2
3

Then something changes on the server which updates the value 3 to 4.
This will update what is on index 1. So you will have:

4
2
3

To handle this, when you do the sorting you would have to store the
index changes (3 on position 1 went to position 3, 1 on position 2
went to position 1, 2 on position 3 went to position 2). Then when you
see that position 1 gets updated with value 4, you can say "ah, 1 went
to 3, so in fact the 4 should to position 3" and change this to:

1
2
4

That seems like a non-trivial thing to do, and if I were you, I
wouldn't want to go down that path :).
