DynamicTable

  • Article

The DynamicTable HTML Component (HTC) displays a table of data where each row represents a record and each column represents a particular field from the record. Above each column in the table is an EditField HTC that allows the corresponding field of the selected record to be edited. The column that is designated as the key is displayed as the first column. The remaining columns are displayed in the order that they are specified in the configuration data.

Unlike the ListEditor HTC, the DynamicTable HTC only allows the editing of data displayed in the columns of the table. Like the ListEditor HTC, the DynamicTable HTC returns its result as an XML list document.

Data is passed to the DynamicTable HTC in the form of XML data-islands. This includes the configuration data that provides, for example, the display names for data columns. It also includes the data itself, contained in a different XML data-island. Configuration data varies from HTC to HTC, depending on the specific characteristics of each type of HTC. In contrast, the data itself is essentially always the same — one or more records, each containing individual fields of data. Because of this, most of the HTCs accept data in the same generalized format. For more information about this data format, see Getting Data to the Client.
