Re: How to best update three columns

Show all headers | View raw

I mentioned before that we had three arrrays containing the columns 
TextValue, MeasureType
and Time.
As matter of fact we haven't decided yet how the data structure we receive 
from server should look like.

So I ask here what would be the best and easiest data structure to use if I 
want to update the table I asked in the first mail ?
Assume also that we can send all the data in all five columns.
I have worked with ASP.NET  where we use binding but it's not possible here 
when I use xhtml and javascript

The Q for the "best" way is nonsensical in programming,
as there is nothing more variable than taste.

Why not show wat you allready tried first? That is usance here,
as it shows you are not just dodging payment of a programmer.

==============================

No need for all the id='..', they are error-prone.

Start counting at 0, not at 1,
stipulate this is the first table of the page,
using it's first tbody of that table,
and using an array of arrays,
try this:

var arr = [
          ['...','...','...'],

          ['...','...','...'],

          ['...','...','...'],

          ['...','...','...']
          ];

var rtop = arr.length - 1;
var ctop = arr[0].length - 1;

var t = document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0];
var tb = t.getElementsByTagName('tbody')[0];

for (var r = 0; r < rtop; r++)
  for (var c = 0; c < ctop; c++)
    tb.rows[r].cells[c].innerHTML = arr[r][c];

===================

not tested, too lazy.

You could do all kinds of sorting on the outer array,
by order of one of the inner arrays' elements,
while keeping the inner arrays intact.
