I'm writing a jQuery plug-in so I can reuse this code in many places as it is a very well used piece of code, the code itself adds a new line to a table which has been cloned from a hidden row, it continues to perform a load of manipulations on the new row.
I'm currently referencing it like this:
$(".abc .grid").grid();
But I want to include a callback so each area the plug-in is called from can do something a bit more unique when the row has been added. I've used the jQuery AJAX plug-in before, so have used the success
callback function, but cannot understand how the code works in the background. Here's what I want to achieve:
$(".abc .grid").grid({
row_added: function() {
// do something a bit more specific here
}
});
Here's my plug-in code
(function($){
$.fn.extend({
//pass the options variable to the function
grid: function() {
return this.each(function() {
grid_table=$(this).find('.grid-table > tbody');
grid_hidden_row=$(this).find('.grid-hidden-row');
//console.debug(grid_hidden_row);
$(this).find('.grid-add-row').click(function(event) {
/*
* clone row takes a hidden dummy row, clones it and appends a unique row
* identifier to the id. Clone maintains our jQuery binds
*/
// get the last id
last_row=$(grid_table).find('tr:last').attr('id');
if(last_row===undefined) {
new_row=1;
} else {
new_row=parseInt(last_row.replace('row',''),10)+1;
}
// append element to target, changes it's id and shows it
$(grid_table).append($(grid_hidden_row).clone(true).attr('id','row'+new_row).removeClass('grid-hidden-row').show());
// append unique row identifier on id and name attribute of seledct, input and a
$('#row'+new_row).find('select, input, a').each(function(id) {
$(this).appendAttr('id','_row'+new_row);
$(this).replaceAttr('name','_REPLACE_',new_row);
});
// disable all the readonly_if_lines options if this is the first row
if(new_row==1) {
$('.readonly_if_lines :not(:selected)').attr('disabled','disabled');
}
});
$(this).find('.grid-remove-row').click(function(event) {
/*
* Remove row does what it says on the tin, as well as a few other house
* keeping bits and pieces
*/
// remove the parent tr
$(this).parents('tr').remove();
// recalculate the order value5
//calcTotal('.net_value ','#gridform','#gridform_total');
// if we've removed the last row remove readonly locks
row_count=grid_table.find('tr').size();
console.info(row_count);
if(row_count===0) {
$('.readonly_if_lines :disabled').removeAttr('disabled');
}
});
});
}
});
})(jQuery);
I've done the usually searching on elgooG... but I seem to be getting a lot of noise with little result, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
