I will try the datagrid again with the <netui:form> tags and see how the url's are generated for paging and sorting

When you say "the list of columns", you mean the data in the data set being rendered in the data grid. :) Yes, this should be possible -- just wrap the data grid itself or a specific row in a <netui:form> tag. I looked, and we don't seem to have a sample of this, which is unfortunate. I've added a JIRA issue: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-1098 to track adding one. > > One more question on the datagrid > > All the datagrid urls are plain url's , not form posts > When we want to use the dataGrid for editable grids, we need to post it. > Basically, for all the sorting and paging we have to post the form. Is there > any plan to provide this feature? [eko] Not sure I understand this -- could you describe your use case in a little more detail? Today, the data grid does paging and sorting as HTTP GETs so that the links are bookmarkable and don't require form POSTs. Currently, I don't have any plans to change this behavior. For editable data grids, you should be able to POST a form for a specific row or for the entire data grid, but that's separate from the links for sorting, filtering, and paging, which is state that can be stored on the server and "re-attached" when an edit is finished. Again, I'll try to put together an example of this, but it's going to take me a couple of weeks to complete because of some other committments in the interim. > > > Thank You > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Eddie O'Neil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, April 11, 2006 9:36 PM > To: Beehive Users > Subject: Re: composite components using tag files > > Comments in line... > > > On 4/11/06, Srinivas Surapaneni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am trying to build composite components from netui tags > > > > [eko] It should be possible to build composite components from the > NetUI tags.
