dhtmlxgrid: getting an xml string of grid data
- by user823527
The dhtmlxgrid documentation is saying that I should be able to get a string with the grid data with the serialize feature.
mygrid.setSerializationLevel(true,true);
var myXmlStr = mygrid.serialize();
I'd like to use that feature to get the updated grid data. But I don't get the xml string. Is that feature not available in the open source version?
If I could get a csv string, that would also be OK. But I don't get that either.
var gridcsv=mygrid.serializeToCSV();
document.getElementById("mytextareax").value = gridcsv;
The html information for the grid is:
<a href="#" onclick="savegrid();">Save Grid</a>
<textarea id="mytextareax"><rows><row id='r1'><cell>index ... </rows></textarea>
<div id="mytextarea" style="width:400px; height: 400px;"> </div>
<div id="gridbox" style="width:600px; height:270px; background-color:white;"></div>
<a href='#alfa' onClick="ser()">Reload grid with another structure</a>
<br>
The script for creating the grid is:
<script>
mygrid = new dhtmlXGridObject('gridbox');
mygrid.setImagePath("../../codebase/imgs/");
mygrid.loadXML("../common/grid500.xml");
function ser(){
mygrid.clearAll(true);
mygrid.loadXML("../common/gridH3.xml");
}
function savegrid(){
alert('save grid');
mygrid.setSerializationLevel(true,true);
var myXmlStr = mygrid.serialize();
/* document.getElementById("mytextarea").innerHTML = myXmlStr; */
document.getElementById("mytextareax").value = myXmlStr;
alert(myXmlStr);
}
</script>
Is there any way to get the data out of the dhtmlx grid to be able to create my own xml file from it?
