Flexigrid - Lightweight but rich data grid

@Armorfist: This is something of a hack, however I find it effective for one of my edit-in-place tables (implemented solely as form elements in TDs, written by the php)

Anyhow, I use javascript to add hidden elements to the HTML of the form I use:

Code:

var loc_text="   You've selected this location: "+loc_brand[idx[0]]+' > '+loc_page[idx[1]]+' > '+loc_group[idx[2]];
var pButton='<input type="button" class="right" id="changeButton">';

temp='&lt;input type="hidden" name="action" value="doThisToItems" &gt;&lt;input type="name" name="loc" value="'+loc+'" ><br>'+temp+loc_text+'<br>'+pButton;

$('#container').empty().append(temp).fadeIn();

#container is the DIV around my form (external to flexigrid). loc is a string representing the coordinates of a location: 1,8,235 which are the IDs of each layer of my data where we are currently sitting. loc_text is the text label I present to the user to confirm their location choice. the loc_XXXX arrays are in the javascript, built dynamically on page load, have the human names for each of the location IDs. All of this is done independent of flexigrid, and I'm implementing checkboxes to add the row to the location or just delete the row.

As this is a sequential process, if you subsequently reverse one of your entries, the most latest addition is what is passed on POST.

Example:

Code:

<input type="hidden" value="modify" name="action"/>
<input type="hidden" value="523X" name="pn-3"/>
<input type="hidden" value="3" name="mfg_id-7"/>
<input type="hidden" value="224B" name="pn-9"/>
<input type="hidden" value="0" name="mfg_id-7"/>

I loop through $_POST and do:

Code:

list($tableLookup, $id) = explode("-", $_POST['name'] )

the 'action' => 'modify' pair tells that script what to do. I then have a lookup hash to get the table name from the "name". Then it sets the VALUE to what is passed in. Ultimately, there is only one item with name="mfg_id-7" and it's value will be 0.
