Need an intelligent, spreadsheet style grid
In a cfform I've got a cfgrid component that list rows of employees with columns representing hours worked for each day in a week with a Total Hours column as the last column. The user enters in hours for each day and when they press submit the action page adds them all together and populate to totals. Works fine.
Client now wants the grid to display a running total in the Total Hours field as they enter values in each day, so that if they enter 8 for Monday, the Total Hours column for that row will show 8, then they enter 8 in Tuesday's Hours and the Total Hours increments to 16. This needs to happen dynamically as they enter values without having to press submit.
I don't think cfgrid can do this. Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Stephen

jyokum,
Thank you for such a swift reply. You are right, I'd need to create a table based on the recordset returned by a cfquery. The recordset has an entry for each employee with a field for each day and some total field. I would need to populate the table grid with the existing records, then update the records with the new values. I do this with CFgrid now. How difficult is it to replace the list with a cfquery record set?
I can send along the cfquery code if it would help.
Thanks again for sharing your expertise.

use parseInt while adding numerical vaues in javascript other wise it will just append it as string...
> use parseInt while adding numerical vaues
OR just multiply by 1, same effect
Waterstone,
send your current query. I could make up an example but may as well use your code if you already have something

oh sorry jyokum...
small changes in my post,
Name="fr#employeeid#" should be Name="fri#employeeid#"
and change this line
if(!isNaN(eval("document.f
to
if(isNaN(eval("document.fr
also change onBlur() to OnChange()...
PS : Jyokum the thing was i was typing my code in the intranet and i had not refreshed the question, but then after i posted my code i saw 2 comments one from u and the one of waterstone. :-)
PS : WaterStone, plz do award the points to jyokum :-)

Thanks for all the help, jyokum.
I'll post another question as a follow up.
What is the best way to use the table to update the database when I add the submit button?
How do I loop through the rows of the table to update the datase using a cfquery?
Thanks for any info you can pas along.

Hello jyokum,
Could you clarify one point for me? Which javascript statement assigns the value of tot to the input field <td><input type="text" name="total#GetRecords.Emp
Does tot=eval('document.frmData
connect the variable tot to the field referenced by the eval statement, so that whenever the vsriable tot changes the value is reflected in 'document.frmData.total'+r
Thanks,
Waterstone

tot.value=t; << this is the statement that actually assigns is.
the eval statement sets up the reference to the field
the eval statement sets up the reference to the field
ASKER
So as tot changes the value of ="total#GetRecords.Employe
yes
assuming GetRecords.EmployeeNumber = 100...
tot is really just a pointer to document.frmData.total100
if GetRecords.EmployeeNumber = 101
tot = document.frmData.total101
assuming GetRecords.EmployeeNumber = 100...
tot is really just a pointer to document.frmData.total100
if GetRecords.EmployeeNumber = 101
tot = document.frmData.total101
ASKER
So the eval statement is a two-way poniter to the field it references?
Once tot is set up to reference the field, any changes to tot are automatically reflected in the field referenced by the eval statement?
Sorry to be so dense here, just want to be sure I underastand it completely.
the javascript eva() function is similar to the coldfusion evaluate() function
http://www.devguru.com/Technologies/ecmascript/quickref/eval.html
http://www.devguru.com/Technologies/ecmascript/quickref/eval.html
var wk=new Array('sun','mon','tue','w
function sumTime(row){
var t=0;
tot=eval('document.frmData
for(i=0;i<=6;i++){
fld=eval('document.frmData
t+=fld.value*1;
}
tot.value=t;
}
</script>
<form name="frmData">

you would probably be changing this to loop over a recordset instead of a list
