I have a scenarion where I delete rows in a html table. Once the row is deleted, I am trying to realign/sort the hidden fields indexes.
for example if second row with hidden fields name[1]abc
tr is deleted, then I am trying to generate table with rows having hidden fields with index name[0]
and name[1]
etc., Any pointers ?
My fiddle
<table class="links-list">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>test1</td>
<td>test2</td>
<input type="hidden" name="name[0]abc">
<input type="hidden" name="name[0]def">
<input type="hidden" name="name[0]gh1">
</tr>
<tr>
<td>test1</td>
<td>test2</td>
<input type="hidden" name="name[1]abc">
<input type="hidden" name="name[1]def">
<input type="hidden" name="name[1]gh1">
</tr>
<tr>
<td>test1</td>
<td>test2</td>
<input type="hidden" name="name[2]abc">
<input type="hidden" name="name[2]def">
<input type="hidden" name="name[2]gh1">
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Javascript
//Loop through table rows
//get all hidden fields for each row
// update index value inside name[index] in sorted order
// like all hidden fields with name[0] in first row name[1] for second row etc
function updateHyperlinkIndexes() {
var linksList = document.querySelector('.links-list tbody');
for (var i = 1; i < linksList.children.length; i++) {
var trContent = linksList.children[i];
for (var i = 0; i < trContent.children.length; i++) {
if (trContent.children.item(i).type && trContent.children.item(i).type === "hidden") {
var cellName = trContent.children.item(i).name;
trContent.children.item(i).name = cellName.replace(/[.*]/, i);
}
}
}
return linksList;
};
var updatedHtml = updateHyperlinkIndexes();
Found the problem, PFB working updateHyperlinkIndexes() function.
var linksList = document.querySelector('.links-list tbody');
for (var i = 0; i < linksList.children.length; i++) {
var trContent = linksList.children[i];
for (var j = 0; j < trContent.children.length; j++) {
console.log(trContent.children[j]);
if (trContent.children.item(j).type && trContent.children.item(j).type === "hidden") {
var cellName = trContent.children.item(j).name;
trContent.children.item(j).name = cellName.replace(/\[.*?\]/g, '['+i+']');
}
}
}
Changes made include correction of replace regex expression, it should be replace(/\[.*?\]/g, '['+i+']');
. And secondly you used same variable i
for iterating nested loops.
Hope it helps you.
