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>
