Multiple spry:selects on Multiple Datasets

Aug 11, 2012 6:01 AM

Tags: #regions #spry:select

Hi,

I have a main xmldataset A from which 2 other datasets B and C are populated via A datasets' A.getDocument() and are thus dependencies of A

dataset A has its own spry:region with a spry:select

B and C share a spry:region also with respective spry:select

thus

<ul spry:region="A"><li spry:repeat... spry:select="class">....</ul>
<ul spry:region="B C"><li spry:repeat="B" spry:select="class"><ul><li spry:repeat="C" spry:select="class"></li>.....

When I first only had A's region the spry:select worked fine

but when I added B only B's spry:select worked and then when I added C only C worked

How do I get all region spry:select to STAY selected on each's own currentRow()?

P.S. what is spry:selected and can someone elaborate on the documentations definition of Spry:Selectgroup?

Sorry, the XML data file is empty, hence cannot see what you are trying to do.

Sorry, the only way to remove the offending line is to report the message. See 'Report' on the right side of the message. Because it is my message, I do not have the 'Report' feature.

Please have a look at the following

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Untitled Document</title>
  <style>
        .MasterDetail {
            font: 100% Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
            margin: 2px;
        }
        .MasterDetail .MasterContainer {
            background-color: #EAEAEA;
            border: 1px solid gray;
            width: 35%;
            float: left;
            height: 400px;
            overflow: auto;
        }
        .MasterDetail .MasterColumn {
            font-size: 75%;
            background-color: #CCCCCC;
            padding:5px;
            cursor:pointer;
        }
        .MasterDetail .MasterColumnHover {
            background-color: #EAEAEA;
        }
        .MasterDetail .MasterColumnSelected {
            background-color:#848484;
            color: white;
        }
        .MasterDetail .DetailContainer {
            border: 1px solid gray;
            padding:10px;
            width: 60%;
            float: right;
            overflow: auto;
        }
        .MasterDetail .DetailColumn {
            margin-bottom: 1px;
        }
  </style>
</head>

<body>
  <div class="MasterDetail">
    <div spry:region="dsItem" class="MasterContainer">
      <div class="MasterColumn" spry:repeat="dsItem" spry:setrow="dsItem" spry:hover="MasterColumnHover" spry:select="MasterColumnSelected">{day}</div>
    </div>
    <div spry:detailregion="dsItem" class="DetailContainer">
      <div class="DetailColumn">{title}</div>
      <div class="DetailColumn">{description}</div>
      <div class="DetailColumn">{link}</div>
      <div class="DetailColumn">{category}</div>
      <div class="DetailColumn">{category/@domain}</div>
      <div class="DetailColumn">{comments}</div>
      <div class="DetailColumn">{pubDate}</div>
      <div class="DetailColumn">{timestamp}</div>
      <div class="DetailColumn">{guid}</div>
      <div class="DetailColumn">{fbid}</div>
      <div class="DetailColumn">{fbid/@colour}</div>
    </div>
    <br style="clear:both" />
  </div>
  <script src="SpryAssets/xpath.js"></script>
  <script src="SpryAssets/SpryData.js"></script>
  <script>
    var dsItem = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("package/xml.php", "rss/channel/item");
  </script>
</body>
</html>

The master container contains the date. It does not matter how you want to format the date as long as it has a spry:setrow. This will determine the row to show in the spry:detailregion.
