Sorting your Domino views with JavaScript (continued)
The second table column displays the value in the Author field.
The Column 5 formula ends the table row:
Finally, I enabled the "Treat view contents as HTML" property and saved the view.
Create a form to show the view through
Next I created a $$ViewTemplateDefault form to display the view created above. I added the following HTML code to the top of the form.
<table border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="50%"><a href="#" onClick="javascript:sortTable('Title');return true">Title</a></td>
<td width="50%"><a href="#" onClick="javascript:sortTable('Author');return true">Author</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
<hr>
|
This table consists of one row that has two links. These links are our column headings which when clicked will sort the view by column using the values assigned to the column's "abbr" attrbibute.
Next I added the following:
<span id="contents">
<table width="100%">
|
On the next line I added the "$$ViewBody" field (this is where Domino will render the view) followed on the next line with the code to close the view table.
Notice that the view table is itself wrapped in the span block "contents". It is the "innerHTML" value of this block that is rewritten each time the view contents are sorted.
I then set the Pass-Thru HTML property of all the HTML on the form.
Add the sorting routines
Next, I added the JavaScript to the $$ViewTemplateDefault form. The following code was added to the onLoad event.
var booktitles = getTableElements("td","title","booktitle");
var authors = getTableElements("td","title","author");
var rows = getTableElements("tr","title","row");
for (i=0; i<rows.length; i++){
contents[i] = {booktitle:booktitles[i].getAttribute("abbr"),
author:authors[i].getAttribute("abbr"),
details:"<tr title=row>" + rows[i].innerHTML + "</tr>"
}
}
|
As the form loads it builds three arrays. The first two "booktitles" and "authors" contain the HTML output from Columns 3 and 4 in our web view. The third array "rows" contains the HTML for each table row in full.
These three arrays are then used to build another array "contents" but in doing so, only the "abbr" values are extracted from the booktitles and authors array elements. The first entry in the contents array "contents[0]" will look something like this once the page loads.
