Newly entered data must be to updated.

Classic Servoy
1

After a while i hit the forum onceagain,

Todays issue: I had created a form thats just look like the excelsheet.In the sense i had given the border and all like the excelsheet not the function.These are created by using the html coding.The datas present in the table must be displayed into that form and also i had set the seperate font size dropdown that the user can able to select in which font the datas in the form must be as a total the html area.

Now whats the issue is the user needs to enter new datas and update the datas thats present in that form.The user can able to do all these things but its only for view and print.The newly added datas must not be updated in the table.If its updated in the table only the user can view that changes when he opens the form next time.

Here i need all your help,is it possible to update the changes made in the html area towards the table.I mean in the database.

Any help must be helpful for me to overcome this situation.

If I understand right, you want to get data out of a HTML area? If yes, you will have to read the HTML into a variable and take it apart yourself…

You are correct patrick,

But how can we able to retrieve the data from the html area.There are ‘n’ number of cells thats like the excelsheet.In that there must be datas and there are empty rows also.Sometimes the user changes the datas there and they can able to enter something on the empty cells also.How its posssible in servoy to retrive the datas thats present inbetween the TR and TD tags and update that datas into the table.

If there is samples.Then its more helpful.

Wow, that is going to be a massive job.
I don’t have/know of any samples for this but I would say ‘dive into the wonderful world of Regular Expressions’.
Because that is what you will need.

You better get a book. RegExps are very powerful but a bit tricky :)

I always say ‘they are great but a bitch at the same time’…

Yes there is logic in JavaScript but i am not sure its applicable in Servoy or not.

Whats the logic behind is we need to retrieve the datas inbetween the TD’s and update that into the table.Its somewhat tough thing only.But if anybody experienced in this can able to help me.

Any help must be useful for me to solve this issue.
