This class is great but is a little overkill in some aspects and short in others. Try the Eyesis Data Grid Control: http://www.eyesis.ca/projects/datagrid.html

It’s one or two classes and has way more features.

I am trying to make it such that the columns can be dynamic and “generify” it and are passed in rather than hard coded as they are in your files. This is what I am trying
gridview.php

var cols = null;
cols = new Array();
cols['user_ID'] = “User ID”;
cols['first_name'] = “First Name”;
cols['last_name'] = “Last Name”;
xajax_showDataGrid(0,25,”",”DESC”,”",cols);

This is where I have changed your function so the columns are dynamically processed. (I use ezsql which builds the query on the fly)

function showDataGrid($intStart=0, $intLimit=25, $strOrderCol=NULL, $strSortDir=”ASC”, $strWhere=NULL.$cols=NULL)
{
GLOBAL $commonDB;
$objResponse = new xajaxResponse();
$objDataGrid = new clsDataGrid();
$objDataGrid->setTableName(‘ibDataGrid’);
…
$objDataGrid->setSortDir($strSortDir);
$objDataGrid->setDBColumns( array_keys($cols) );
$objDataGrid->setColumnHeaders( array_values($cols) );

$query = I use my own builder here

if ($commonDB->query($query))
{
while($row = $commonDB->fetchRow())
{
$objDataGrid->addRow($row);
}
$objDataGrid->setTotalRows(getNumRows());
$objResponse->assign(‘dataGrid’, “innerHTML”, $objDataGrid->renderDataGrid());
}
else
{
$objResponse->assign(‘dataGrid’, “innerHTML”, “No results found.”);
}
return $objResponse;
}

This works great. I am able to build the table on the fly fine with whatever columns I pass in via the javascript – UNTIL I sort. Thenit blows up. I see there is an onclick that needs to be edited in classes/clsDataGrid.php but I can’t seem to be able to pass the dynamic cols in.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Still no luck with the url. Even with removing the period from the link above. I tried
http://dev.surveybench.com/iBLivedatagrid/gridview.php which existed – but didn’t work. I have it all working – by far the easiest of the grids I’ve found- but am missing some of the images – so just trying to get them to complete my page. Thanks!

I moved the example to http://dev.surveybench.com/gridvew.php. Once I implement a few more features and clean up some things here and there, I’ll repackage the whole project. Thanks for all the input and suggestions!

Your download does not include all the images and your example site site does not exists. Other thanthat – looks good.
