logic:iterate issue

[Radhakrishna Sharma Gorenta]

Hi,
I have a logic iterate to display all elements of a list. When i click the row, all the table columns should become amendable i.e., the text present at the table columns should become editable like text boxes. Can anyone suggest the logic. I tried in the following way.

<tr id="row" >
<logic:iterate id="items" name="arrayList">
<td class="grey"   ><bean:write name="items" />
</td>
</logic:iterate>
</tr>

You will have to write some serious JavaScript to accomplish what you want. Personally, I prefer to have "Edit - Delete" links on each line item and bring up another page to do the editing.

Hi Joe,
Thank you for reply..
I have some number of rows and i have to make all the fields as amendable(should become editable in textbox) of a particular row when i supposed to click on that particular row.
Can you please give a snippet of code for that.

Hi,
with <bean:write name....> you're just displaying the field value. If you want it to be editable (i.e. be able to modifiy its value) you have to display it in an HTML element <input type=text ....>

so your code should be in Struts 1.x :
<tr id="row" > <logic:iterate id="items" name="arrayList"> <td class="grey" ><html:text property="items" /> </td> </logic:iterate> </tr>
I made the assumption, you've chosen html as a prfix for struts tags with a line like:
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
And of course you have to encapsulate the whole display in a form whose action would take care of taking into account the modifications (saving to database, ...)

You might want to have a look at this example.

Hi Franck,
Thank you very much for your valuable reply.
Here i just put a part of my code. I don't have any problem in accessing Struts. The fields should be displayed first in a web page(using bean:write) and then when i click a row the fields should become as editable as per the requirement.
Can you please suggest the way to do it.

As I said before, you will have to write some JavaScript to accomplish this task. Here is an example that shows how to display and hide fields depending on an action. If you are familiar with JavaScript, you should be able to adapt it (if you are not familiar with JavaScript, you'll need to do some reading to get up to speed).
Since this task has little to do with Struts, I suggest you have a look at our JavaScript forum.
