How do i make a allocation table?
- by david
I have build a grid of div's as playground for some visual experiments. In order to use that grid, i need to know the x and y coordinates of each div. That's why i want to create a table with the X and Y position of each div.
X:0 & Y:0 = div:eq(0), X:0 Y:1 = div:eq(1), X:0 Y:2 = div:eq(2), X:0 Y:3 = div:eq(3), X:1 Y:0 = div:eq(4) etc..
What is the best way to do a table like that? Creating a OBJECT like this:
{
00: 0,
01: 1,
02: 2,
etc..
}
or is it better to create a array?
position[0][0] = 0
the thing is i need to use the table in multiple way's.. for example the user clicked the div nb: 13 what are the coordinates of this div or what is the eq of the div x: 12 y: 5.
Thats how i do it right now:
var row = 0
var col = 0
var eq = 0
c.find('div').each(function(i){ // c = $('div#stage')
if (i !=0 && $(this).offset().top != $(this).prev().offset().top){
row++
col = 0
}
$(this).attr({'row': row, 'col': col })
col++
})
I think it would be faster to build a table with the coordinates, instead of adding them as attr or data to the DOM. but i cant figure out how to do this technically.
How would you solve this problem width JS / jQuery?
