How does it work?
To have such expandable table we have to reserve two rows for each entity, one that will be master row and another that will show details. Details rows are toggled by clicking on master row.
Master row can contain as many columns as it is needed. The important thing is that details row have to span (using colspan attribute) all the columns that master row contains (if you want to have full details row area, of course). In the example below, table contains 4 columns and details rows spans exactly 4 columns.
<table id="report">
<tr>
<th>Lorem ipsum</th>
<th>Lorem ipsum</th>
<th>Lorem ipsum</th>
<th>Lorem ipsum</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Lorem ipsum</td>
<td>Lorem ipsum</td>
<td>Lorem ipsum</td>
<td>Lorem ipsum</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="4">
<!-- Details here -->
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Lorem ipsum</td>
<td>Lorem ipsum</td>
<td>Lorem ipsum</td>
<td>Lorem ipsum</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="4">
<!-- Details here -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>
The code that turns this into expandable table is quite simple. First, it will add .master class to each odd row in the table and hide all rows that don’t have .master class (those are details rows). It will then “unhide” table header that is first in the array of table rows. The second step is to add click handler to all rows that have .master class. By clicking on any master row, jQuery will toggle the visibility of related details row. Couldn’t be simpler, I think.
$("#report tr:odd").addClass("master");
$("#report tr:not(.master)").hide();
$("#report tr:first-child").show();
$("#report tr.master").click(function(){
$(this).next("tr").toggle();
$(this).find(".arrow").toggleClass("up");
});
There is one more line of code here which adds “odd” CSS class to each odd table row. The code is fully functional even without this line, but I added it to make table styling simpler. This way it is easy to style each master row.
At first I tried with $(“td[colspan]“) and $(“td:not([colspan])”) selectors to do the same, but that didn’t work in IE. The code was simpler and additional classes wasn’t needed. Shame. I tested this version in FF, IE (all versions), Chrome, Safari and Opera and it works fine in all browsers. Except IE8 — details rows aren’t shown. It seems as if IE8 have some problems with .toggle() function. To make it work in this browser as well you’ll have to check for visibility and then use show() or hide() functions. Shame, again.
At the end, to use plugin that is located in source files just do this:
$(#sometable").jExpand();
How do you deal with cases like this? Do you use tables or you have some other approach?
