Disregard a particular TD element
- by RussellDias
Below I have the code that allows me to edit a table row inline. However it edits ALL of the TDs within that row. My problem, along with the code, are stated below. Any help is appreciated.
<tbody>
<tr>
<th scope="row">Test</th>
<td class="amount">$124</td>
<td class="amount" id="" >$154</td>
<td class="diff">- 754</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
The above table is just a sample. What I have been trying to accomplish is, to simply edit the TDs within that particular row, but I need it to disregard the diff TD.
I'm fairly new to jQuery and have got the following code via the help of a jQuery book.
$(document).ready(function() {
TABLE.formwork('#current-expenses');
});
var TABLE = {};
TABLE.formwork = function(table){
var $tables = $(table);
$tables.each(function () {
var _table = $(this);
_table.find('thead tr').append($('<th class="edit"> </th>'));
_table.find('tbody tr').append($('<td class="edit"><input type="button" value="Edit"/></td>'))
});
$tables.find('.edit :button').live('click', function(e) {
TABLE.editable(this);
e.preventDefault();
});
}
TABLE.editable = function(button) {
var $button = $(button);
var $row = $button.parents('tbody tr');
var $cells = $row.children('td').not('.edit');
if($row.data('flag')) { // in edit mode, move back to table
// cell methods
$cells.each(function () {
var _cell = $(this);
_cell.html(_cell.find('input').val());
})
$row.data('flag',false);
$button.val('Edit');
}
else { // in table mode, move to edit mode
// cell methods
$cells.each(function() {
var _cell = $(this);
_cell.data('text', _cell.html()).html('');
if($('td.diff')){
var $input = $('<input type="text" />')
.val(_cell.data('text'))
.width(_cell.width() - 16);
_cell.append($input);
}
})
$row.data('flag', true);
$button.val('Save');
}
}
I have attempted to alter the code so that it would disregard the diff class TD, but have had no luck so far.
