Re: [T5.2] Grid component manipulation

Hi Mohammad, I did something similar as I needed paging and most of the Grid functionality without showing a grid. My approach was to extend the Grid, GridRows and GridColumns components. Most java code did stay the same, but the regarding templates got updated to my clients requirements. A

Re: [T5.2] Grid component manipulation

If you want rows and columns, use the grid, end of story. For paging divs and other arbitrary items, check out ChenilleKit's PagedLoop component, it's pretty flexible. Kalle On Mon, Nov 1, 2010 at 6:54 AM, Muhammad Mohsen wrote: > Hello everyone, > > My main objective is to list complex data in

I have no considerable designing experience to argue with your statement. It's just that sometimes a client would insist on having a table-less application. Unless I can't override the Grid to render using tables, I can't accept the job. That's all :) I wish the mailing list is always active is it

Re: [T5.2] Grid component manipulation

Muhammad, as the article points out, tableless design is: "...a philosophy eschewing the use of HTML tables for page layout control purposes." Tables have a very good purpose in HTML they should be used to display tabular data (A grid is exactly that). The problem is that 10 years ago tables were

[T5.2] Grid component manipulation

Hello everyone, My main objective is to list complex data in rows with the paging feature implemented. I can think of other ways to list rows with complex data but the paging feature is already implemented in the Grid component and I don't want to reinvent the wheel so I'm thinking of using the G
