jQuery Modal Window pop up from datatable form
Posted on 2013-06-10
Hello,
I have an application that uses jQuery for the front end, and classic ASP for the back end.
I am using datatables for forms. What I need to happen is when I double click on the row of data, I need a modal window to pop up and be able to edit, save, or delete the record.
I have been able to create an alert pop up but have not figured out how to bring up the row of data in a modal window. I have attached the ASP file and the jQuery file to this letter.
Here is the code to get the alert to pop up. Thanks for the help.

This is not trivial.
I suggest you remove the need for double clicking by
something like this (not tested)

Adding a delete icon to the record2
Edit in placesomething like this (not tested)
<tr class="rowOdd">
<td><a href="#" class="edit"><img src="https://vsr.dev.fema.net/asd/images/icons/edit.png" class="icon" /></a></td>

<td class="ID">1234</td>
<td>SMITH, MARTY R.</td>
<td>DOG, DEPUTY A.</td>
<td>5/1/2013</td>
<td>Virginia</td>
</tr>
and
$(function() {
$(".edit").on("click",function() {
$('tr.selected').removeClass('selected');
var $row = $(this).closest('tr');
$row.addClass('selected');
editRow($row);
});
$(".delete").on("click",function() {
$('tr.selected').removeClass('selected');
var ID = $(this).closest('td').siblings().find('.ID');
if (confirm("Delete this row?")) {
var $row = $(this).closest('tr');
$.post("delete.asp",{"ID":ID},function(){
$row.slideUp(1000, function() {
$(this).remove();
});
});
}
});
});
var cellIDs = ["","","ID","name1","name2,"date","state"]
function editRow($row) {
var $cells = $row.children('td');
for (var i=2;i<$cells.length;i++) { // start at the 3rd cell
$cells[i].html('<input type="text" id="'+cellIDs[i]+'" value="'+$cells[i].text()+'"/>')
}
// here we could swap the edit and delete for a save and cancel
}
Hello mplungjan,
Thank you for responding to my jQuery/ASP question. I am glad to take your approach to coding this way.
The reason I need a pop up modal widow after clicking on the record is because of space.
Due to our web rules, I can only display 5 fields on a data table, however, there are 10 fields to enter/update/delete for each record. Is this possible with the code you have given me?
thanks for your help.

Sure - you can hide the cells and only show them in the popup - I loop to end of cells regardless of visibility
Hello mplungjan,
I am somewhat new to jQuery and ASP would like to know,
How do I hide the cells and only show them in the popup and how do I loop to the end of the cells with the code you have given me? I will take it from that point to read and learn.
I have increase the point value of the answer too.
I know it's not enough but thank you very much,
Mike

Like this
and
<tr class="rowOdd">
<td><a href="#" class="edit"><img src="https://vsr.dev.fema.net/asd/images/icons/edit.png" class="icon" /></a></td>
<td><a href="#" class="delete"><img src="https://vsr.dev.fema.net/asd/images/icons/delete.png" class="icon" /></a></td>
<td class="ID">1234</td>
<td>SMITH, MARTY R.</td>
<td>DOG, DEPUTY A.</td>
<td>5/1/2013</td>
<td>Virginia</td>
<td class="hidden">(505)5551111</td>
<td class="hidden">123234234</td>
</tr>
and
var cellIDs = ["","","ID","name1","name2,"date","state","hiddencell1","hiddencell2"]
function editRow($row) {
var $cells = $row.children('td');
for (var i=2;i<$cells.length;i++) { // start at the 3rd cell and run to end !!!
$cells[i].html('<input type="text" id="'+cellIDs[i]+'" value="'+$cells[i].text()+'"/>')
}
}
Would I be able to have the code like this? To use for multiple data tables in the app.
How would I replace the alert part of the code>

Sure. Just change my
$(".edit").on("click",func
to your
$(document).on('dblclick',
$(".edit").on("click",func
to your
$(document).on('dblclick',
OK, I am a little slow about this, I tried this and it did not work.
$(document).on('dblclick','table.hoverStyle tr',function(){
$('tr.selected').removeClass('selected');
var $row = $(this).closest('tr');
$row.addClass('selected');
editRow($row);
})

No, I was slow.
$(document).on('dblclick',
$('tr.selected').removeCla
$(this).addClass('selected
editRow($(this));
})
$(document).on('dblclick',
$('tr.selected').removeCla
$(this).addClass('selected
editRow($(this));
})
