I have packaged a plugin with one possible use of the great library handsontable:
http://www.web2pyslices.com/slice/show/2042/handsontable-plugin-for-a-spreadsheet You may comment on the plugin as you want, but I specifically want to ask if you find the following trick acceptable (or improvable): The Handsontable plugin is used to load client side a potentially very big table, and the data is stored by handsontable. I decided to suscribe to the afterValidate event of the Handsontable object: afterValidate:function(isValid,value,row,prop,source){ if(isValid){ override[[rowids[row], prop]] = value; } } and record only the values that the user updates. Close to the div that holds the table there is a form consisting of a submit button and hidden field. Then before the form is submitted, I stringify the object with all the changes, and attach it to the hidden form field: $('#submit').on('click', function(){ $('#override').val(JSON.stringify(override)); }); Back in web2py, I recover the changes by the user in this way: import json as json_parser override = json_parser.loads(request_vars.override) Any comments would be appreciated. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
