How to attach dialog to table rows?
in Using jQuery
•
12 years ago
Hello,
I am a complete newbie and I am trying to learn jquery ui as quickly as I can (so please excuse any completely newbie question)
I have a web page that has a table with rows in it (obviously). Each row in the table pertains to a large chunk of text that is displayed in truncated form using slice(). I would like to be able to click on a row of the table, and have that bring up a textarea in a dialog which would allow the user to view/edit the text. When the user clicks OK, it would then write that information back to a database with a function.
The database I/O and such are not that important to me right now - I can probably figure that out for myself. However, I cannot figure out how to get a dialog to appear for each row that would have the contents of that row in the box?
This seems like a pretty straightforward and widely done thing, but in all my searching I cannot find a reference to how to do this. If anyone could get me started that would be outstanding!
