I am trying
to implement something that is similar
to a faceted search. My data is a series of
objects and relationships. The idea is that you click an object (in this case "95 Theses" and then the possibly relationships are displayed, in this case "author" and clicking the relationship shows the object that matches the relationship, in this case "Martin Luther".
My clicking of
objects and relationsips (predicates) works fine. What I need
to do is allow users
to click an object or relationship and have all those that extend from it removed.
This is what I thought of adding when a object or relationship 'tag' is clicked (every time I add another object or relationship I increment the global attribute called 'level'):
if($(".objHolder,. preHolder").filter("[level>'"+level+"']").filter("[holderId='"+holderId+"']").length)
{ $(".objHolder,. preHolder").filter("[level>'"+level+"']").filter("[holderId='"+holderId+"']").remove(); }
<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2">
<tbody><tr>
<td class="objHolder" objid="1" holderid="1" level="1">
<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2">
<tbody><tr class="objItemRow" objid="1" holderid="1" level="1">
<td class="objItem" objid="1" holderid="1" level="2" bgcolor="#eeeeee" nowrap="nowrap">95 Theses</td>
</tr></tbody>
</table></td>
<td><img src="images/right.jpg" alt="" height="10" width="16"></td>
<td class="preHolder" level="2" holderid="1">
<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2"><tbody>
<tr><td class="preItem" level="3" subid="1" preid="1" holderid="1" bgcolor="#eeeeee" nowrap="nowrap">author</td></tr>
</tbody></table></td>
<td><img src="images/right.jpg" alt="" height="10" width="16"></td>
<td class="objHolder" level="3" holderid="1">
<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2"><tbody><tr><td class="objItem" level="4" objid="3" holderid="1" bgcolor="#eeeeee" nowrap="nowrap">Martin Luther</td></tr></tbody></table>
</td>
</tr></tbody>
</table>
