How to create the clickable list

[Anshul Chandra Saxena]

Hi All

I have a list of beans. The beans has getters and setters of some properties. I have prepared a list of such beans. My requirement is to create a clickable list, such that on clicking the icon, the complete list of beans with all the values will be displayed.

Can i do it in CSS, or div, DHTML. If anyone knows how to do it, please let me know.

thanks

Not sure what you are asking fir exactly. I am guessing

onclick="document.getElementById("someId").display='block'"

What i am looking for is, suppose i have the JavaBean like this.

  package com.hsbc.group.portlet.wires.beans;

public class WireBean {
	private String sourcePageName;
	private String targetPageName;

	public String getTargetPageName() {
		return targetPageName;
	}

	public WireBean setTargetPageName(String targetPageName) {
		this.targetPageName = targetPageName;
		return this;
	}

	public String getSourcePageName() {
		return sourcePageName;
	}

	public WireBean setSourcePageName(String srcPageName) {
		this.sourcePageName = srcPageName;
		return this;
	}
}  

I prepared an ArrayList of such beans, suppose 10 of them. Now i want to group these, and display them as

+ (then the first bean i.e the properties value of it. eg Source Page Name and Target Page Name.) These have already been populated by the Javacode.

Now when someone clicks the + button, all the lists will expand and all the beans with their property values will be displayed.

Can anyone suggest how to make this expandable/collapsible list ?

thanks

It's pretty simple if you can capture the clicks and use CSS to hide and show elements.

Where's your code? What part are you having problems with?
