Menu
I'm new to jQuery and JavaScript. I'm trying to click on my Edit button in my table and make the entire row editable. For some reason it's not working. I think it's only looking at the cell the edit button is in, but I'm not sure how to make it change the entire row to be editable (except the edit button field). I tried moving contenteditable to the tr tag level from the td tag level but it didn't fix it. I was looking at this link as an example, but I think there's something I'm missing. Here is what my code looks like:
<head>
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.11.0.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#btnHide').click(function() {
//$('td:nth-child(2)').hide();
// if your table has header(th), use this
$('td:nth-child(3),th:nth-child(3)').hide();
});
});
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.editbtn').click(function(){
$(this).html($(this).html() == 'Edit' ? 'Save' : 'Edit');
if('td[contenteditable=true]')) {
'td[contenteditable=false]');
}
else if('td[contenteditable=false]')){
'td[contenteditable=true]');
}
//else not editable row
}); //moved this
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<table id="tableone" border="1">
<thead>
<tr><th class="col1">Header 1</th><th class="col2">Header 2</th><th class="col3">Header 3</th><th class="col3">Header 4</th></tr>
</thead>
<tr class="del">
<td contenteditable="false">Row 0 Column 0</td> //changed to false after experiment
<td><button class="editbtn">Edit</button></td>
<td contenteditable="false">Row 0 Column 1</td>
<td contenteditable="false">Row 0 Column 2</td>
</tr>
<tr class="del">
<td contenteditable="false">Row 1 Column 0</td>
<td><button class="editbtn">Edit</button></td>
<td contenteditable="false">Row 1 Column 1</td>
<td contenteditable="false">Row 1 Column 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
<input id="btnHide" type="button" value="Hide Column 2"/>
</body>

In your column array that you pass into react table you need to create a button who's onClick function takes a callback to edit your data to add an isEditing: true so you will handle turning the row to edit mode from outside of the table.
Make table cells editable on click. On click – the cell should become “editable” (textarea appears inside), we can change HTML. There should be no resize, all geometry should remain the same. Buttons OK and CANCEL appear below the cell to finish/cancel the editing.
After creating a table in JavaScript, you can insert and combine rows and columns or format the table by adjusting table cell widths, colors, and alignment. You can use the contenteditable attribute on the cells, rows, or table to edit a table. Let's take various examples of JavaScript editable tables.
Your code with the button click is too complicated. I have reduced it by making it easier to understand.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.editbtn').click(function () {
var currentTD = $(this).parents('tr').find('td');
if ($(this).html() == 'Edit') {
$.each(currentTD, function () {
$(this).prop('contenteditable', true)
});
} else {
$.each(currentTD, function () {
$(this).prop('contenteditable', false)
});
}
$(this).html($(this).html() == 'Edit' ? 'Save' : 'Edit')
});
});
Code Explained:
1) Get all the tds within tr using below code
var currentTD = $(this).parents('tr').find('td');
2) Then as usual iterate through each tds and change its contenteditable property like below
$.each(currentTD, function () {
$(this).prop('contenteditable', true)
});

Try this:
$('.editbtn').click(function() {
var $this = $(this);
var tds = $this.closest('tr').find('td').filter(function() {
return $(this).find('.editbtn').length === 0;
});
if ($this.html() === 'Edit') {
$this.html('Save');
tds.prop('contenteditable', true);
} else {
$this.html('Edit');
tds.prop('contenteditable', false);
}
});
