Hi
At last I have got the divs working as I wnated.
The idea was to have 6 columns on a web page, 3 on the top row and three on
the bottom.
The top row add divs with artist albums and tracks as headings.
The Bottom with divs with playlist, media abd player.
The idea was to have Artist load in the artist column when the page opens.
You would click on the artist, this would the bring their albums from the
database and put them in the artist column.
You would then click on the album, this would bring back all the tracks in
the album and put them into the tracks column.
Then you click the track, which would be added to the playllst.
To get thisto work, I had to find a way off loading the divs with jquery
and ajax using Load.
This is the Jquery part:
<span onclick="jQuery('#id').val('{{=row.id}}');ajax('{{=URL
<http://127.0.0.1:8000/examples/global/vars/URL>('default', 'album')}}',
['id'], '');">{{=row.artist}}</span>
This would send the ID of the artist to find all the albums belonging to
the artist, then put in a table on the database, which then gets pulled
back in another function and loaded in a temp_album.load which then gets
loaded into the div with the following code:
{{=LOAD('default','temp_album.load',ajax=True,times='infinity', timeout=1000)}}
This then puts it back on the page in the correct div. The times='infinity,
is what keeps the page loading the data.
Every time you click a different artist, the table contents in the database
is deleted and the new albums are inserted bringing back again.
I have done this with all the divs.
The next part is to get a media player to load the playlist and play the
files.
I would like to thank Anthony, Dave S and LoveWeb2py for pointing me in the
right direction of using LOAD.
