Grid Edit As Default

[colombiaactiva]

Hi,

 

I have a datapage, a tabular report. And I want to have the "grid edit" view as default when I open it.

It is deployed in a HTML page.

 

Right now, when the page open, I have to click each time on the "grid edit" botton.

 

anyway to open it by default like this?

 

thanks a lot!

Olivier

Hello Olivier,

 

Welcome to Caspio Forum!   

 

I think, you can use the following Java Script code (you can add Header&Footer element to the Result Page of your DataPage, select the Footer element, click the "Source" button and enter the code):

<script type="text/javascript">function f_dispatchEvent(v_element, v_type){
 ///<summary></summary>
 ///<param name="v_element" type="HTMLElement"></param>
 ///<param name="v_type" type="String"></param>
 if(v_element.dispatchEvent) {
  //var v_e = new Event(v_type);
  var v_e = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
  v_e.initEvent(v_type, true, true);
  v_element.dispatchEvent(v_e); //new Event(v_type, {"bubbles":true, "cancelable":true})
 } else if(v_element.fireEvent){
  v_element.fireEvent('on' + v_type);
 }
};

setTimeout(function(){
 var v_element = document.getElementsByName("GridEditButton")[0];
f_dispatchEvent(v_element, "click");
}, 5);
</script>

I hope, it helps.

 

Also you can add your idea to the Ideabox. From my point of view, it is a very good idea.

Hi Jan!

 

Thank you for the welcome. yes I am knew at Caspio :-) 

I thought I was missing a stupid botton that I should click but couldn't find. I see there is no such botton.

 

thanks a lot for your great answer, it works perfectly!

 

I will suggest it in the ideabox as per your suggestion.

 

now I have to figure out how to change the size of columns as I am having trouble with it

 

thanks again,

Olivier

You are very welcome, Olivier!

 

If it is hard to find anything in How To - you can ask here and I believe, somebody answers with the link or instructions.

Jan,

 

I tried using the script but it is not working. Has a Caspio enhancement since caused the script to not work? I believe it was working before.
