Hiding Columns in a Spry Region

Hello All,
I'm using the SpryDOMUtils.js to hide columns in my SPRY table. Everything works fine when I load the page except when I add the LoadListener to hide the columns when the page generates:
function hideColumn(){
     Spry.$$("#second th:nth-child(n+5),#second td:nth-child(n+5)").toggleClassName("hideIt");
     changeText("button2","Hide Detail","Show Detail");
Spry.Utils.addLoadListener(function(){
     hideColumn();
After the page loads the columns are hidden like they are supposed to but the show button will not 'show' the columns and the code seems broken. Sorry I cannot post a link the code as it is on a Intranet.
I have followed the example on http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/dom_utils/hide_columns.html but maybe it is because it is in a spry region?
Cheers!
Kevin

I'm assuming that by "Spry Table" you meant that you are using a Spry region to generate a table. If so, you need to trigger your code from an onPostUpdate observer instead of triggering it after the page loads. The reason is that even though the page has loaded, the data sets that load your data still might not have completed loading ... so your region may not have been processed until *AFTER* the onload event fired.
Take a look at this example:

Hiding Table Columns with the Spry Element Selector

I am trying to set up a toggle button that will show/hide
rows >1 when clicked. I've used Adobe's
"Hiding
Table Columns with the Spry Element Selector" example and it
worked fine with an HTML list, until I linked to actual XML data.
Now it works in reverse. What gives?
Here's the example:

That's what I started with. Same result:

How do I display on-the-fly generated XML on a web page using DW CS4 Spry regions?

On a main web page I'm trying to display formatted data from an ASP page that generates XML on-the-fly from a query.
When I run the ASP page from the browser, the XML formatting of the data works. But when I run the main web page, the data doesn't display.
I'm using DW CS4 Spry regionsto display the data on the main page from the XML data generated by the ASP page. Here's the main page code:

Thanks.

Thanks, but no; I'm using the correct case and folder.
With this code on the main page, The region flashes the table column header names
and the code as written for the spry repeat; then instantly disappears from the screen.

Spry:region - Update

Hi,
I'm a beginner in programming with Adobe Spry so I don't know
if I already understood the Spry concept correctly or if my
question has already been answered in this forum before.
I have got an XML file on my web server which contains the
address data of a single user in the following way:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<adressbook>
<contact id='1'>
<name>Person 1</name>
<company>his company</company>
</contact>
</adressbook>
The xml file is dynamically generated and can be called with
a GET-parameter "contact" which represents the contact id of the
contact whose address data should be delivered in the response.
Now I read something about the Adobe Spry data set concept.
So I wanted to implement a small address book widget by fetching
the data of a chosen contact from the server in the following way:
<script type="text/javascript">
var contactinfo = null;
function getcontactinfo(contactid) {
contactinfo = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("data.xml.php?contact=" + contactid,
"/adressbook/contact", { useCache: false });
</script>
<div id='names'>
<a href='javascript:getcontactinfo(1)'>Person
1</a><br>
<a href='javascript:getcontactinfo(2)'>Person
2</a><br>
</div>
<div id='info' spry:region="contactinfo">
<table spry:repeatchildren="contactinfo">
<tr><td>name:</td><td>{name}</td></tr>
<tr><td>company:</td><td>{company}</td></tr>
</table>
</div>
My problem is that the spry:region won't be updated after
requesting new data via Spry.Data.XMLDataSet(). If I leave out the
getcontactinfo()-function and simply write something like
var contactinfo = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("data.xml.php?contact=1",
"/adressbook/contact", { useCache: false });
everything works fine. Can anybody help me and could give me
a hint what I might do wrong.
Thanks a lot
André Langer
P.S.: btw. does anybody know if there's an option in the
spry:repeatchildren part to implement a similar behaviour like in
XSL where I could find out the tag names (in Spry the column
names), see
<xsl:for-each select="/adressbook/contact/*">
<tr><td><xsl:value-of
select="name()"/>:</td><td><xsl:value-of
select="."/></td></tr>
</xsl:for-each>

Hi Ala,
Look into the setURL and loadData functions.
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/data_set_overview/
You can so something like
<a onClick="
contactinfo.setURL('data.xml.php?contact={contactid}');
contactinfo.loadData();")
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/SetURL.html
Hope this helps.

ERROR: spry:region or spry:detailregion attribute has no data set!

here's the basics...
i'm running fusebox for php (if that makes any difference)
i'm also reusing the same gallery for multiple fuseactions,
and using my circuit.xml file to set the var $gallery
depending on which fuseaction has been called.
the photos already exist in a database and full size and
thumbs have already been created by imagemagick
i plan on writing a script that uses imagemagick to get the
dimensions of the imagefiles and saves them to four respective new
columns in my db table (so i hope the problem isn't related to the
height attributes not being set in my xml.... let's hope it's
somthing else, ok?)
i'm creating my datasets like this
quote:
var dsGallery = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("/index.php",
"gallery", { method: "POST", postData: "do=m.get<?php echo
$gallery ?>Gallery", headers: { "Content-Type": "text/xml" });
var dsPhotos = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("/index.php",
"gallery/photos/photo", { method: "POST", postData:
"do=m.get<?php echo $gallery ?>Gallery", headers: {
"Content-Type": "text/xml"});
the output xml is perfect... here's an example
http://www.inkincnewyork.com/index.php?do=m.getFlashGallery
since i'm reusing the gallery, and have no need for the
dsGalleries related functionality i did this.
using the long way of referencing each piece of data, just to
make sure it's all kosher
quote:
<div id="thumbnails" spry:region="dsPhotos dsGallery">
<div spry:repeat="dsPhotos"
onclick="HandleThumbnailClick('{ds_RowID}');"
onmouseover="GrowThumbnail(this.firstChild,
'{dsPhoto::photo/@thumbwidth}', '{dsPhoto::photo/@thumbheight}');"
onmouseout="ShrinkThumbnail(this.firstChild);"><img
id="tn{ds_RowID}" alt="thumbnail for {dsPhoto::photo/@thumbpath}"
src="{dsGallery::thumbnail/@base}{dsPhoto::photo/@thumbpath}"
width="24" height="24" style="left: 0px; right: 0px;"
/></div>
<p class="ClearAll"></p>
</div>
but i am now getting this error
spry:region or spry:detailregion attribute has no data set!
for each XMLDataSet
anyone have any ideas?

A few things I noticed when looking at your sample source
above:
The "Content-Type" should be the type for the post data, not
what you expect to get back. So in your case, you should be using:
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
which is the default type so you don't really have to pass it
to the constructor unless you are posting something other than that
type.
Next, your {ds_RowID} data references are missing the data
set prefix. If you use more than one data set for a given region,
you need to use the prefix to make sure you are getting the
ds_RowID from the correct data set.
The error: "spry:region or spry:detailregion attribute has no
data set!" tells me that the data sets are not defined at the time
Spry first processes the region. Are your data sets being created
in a script tag in the head? Or are you creating them in some
function that gets fired off at a specific time?

Repeat Spry Region problems

First of all, I am very new to Spry in Dreamweaver, but have
an effect that I know must be possible to create using the Spry
Regions tools.
I have a two column webpage. On the left column I want to
have 3 rows of 3 thumbnail images that represent different work
samples. Once they are clicked, I would like a larger image and
explanation to appear in the left column (without being a new
page).
I saw a tutorial similar to this on the Adobe Design Center (
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/?id=vid0166),
but instead of thumbnails, they used text, and created a Spry
Table. I don't think a table would work for me since I didn't see a
way to define the amount of rows.
I have 9 <div> tags set up with image placeholders that
I would like to link to an xml file to fill them. I cannot seem to
figure out the way to do this. My code is attached.

I can tell you categorically that the code in the Missing Manual works as intended. If your code is not working then there is something in the code that is responsible. We'd have to see it all to tell you....

Usinh HTMLPanel, TabbedPanels and Spry Regions

Hello,
I'm using HTMLPanel Widget to load an HTML file that has a
TabbedPanels whose content holds spry regions. I am getting the
TabbedPanels but I don't get the spry regions being generated
within them. I have the markup first...and then the dataset
instance...
quote:
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent"

<a href="javascript:void(0);"
onclick="getMenus('delete=true&contentID={id}&column={column}')">[delete]</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

sorry about not providing an example...i have it on local
machine.
the html page that has the markup as i quoted and the script
quote:
<script>var dsMenuItems = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet('?task=menus&a=get_content&menu_id=17',"/records/record",{
useCache: false});
dsMenuItems.setColumnType("order","number");
dsMenuItems.sort("order","ascending");
</script>
the HTML Panel is set to evaluate javascript. i get no
errors. are you sying to use observer on Panel? or on
tabbed?

Dissapearing Spry regions

I have two Spry:regions coming from two different datasets
(vars I loaded in the head), NOT nested (they are independant,
self-contained, spry:regions (divs)). When I render, only the first
dataset is showing. However if I repeat the one dataset showing, it
shows twice. How do I get the second spry:region to appear and stay
onscreen? It appears briefly on the screen as the page loads, but
this entire spry:region of the different dataset, dissapears
completely, after retrieval of the XML, with no javascript errors.
This is happenign in both Netscape8.1 and IE7.

Animated gif does not work in spry region

Trying to display an animated gif while xml file is loading.
The gif displays while loading but does not animate in the spry region.
<div spry:region="dslistings">
<div id="loadXML" spry:state= "loading"><img src="loadinganimated.gif"/></div>
<div spry:state="ready" </div>
Thank you in advance for any help.
Jeff

I believe you are correct, I tried to place the same animated gif outside of the spry region
and it also did not animate until the xml (approximately 500 records) loaded and completed displaying.
Once the xml loaded, the gif outside of the spry region started to animate.
So how then could you display some sort of animated loading indication?
Thank you
jeff

Event getting trigger after hiding columns in alv report

Hi All,
I having requirement like after hiding columns,i have to control some of the hard coded data in report output. Is there any event to know what all are the columns are selected to hide?

You can use FM REUSE_ALV_LIST_LAYOUT_INFO_GET to read the fieldcat again.
Look at the parameter it_event_exit on the ALV FM to now user has press on some of the Layout buttons.
In the fieldcatalog, look for
- no_out = 'X'. " column is not displayed but can be choosen when changing the layout
-tech = 'X'.
" column is neither displayed nor availabe in the layout

Hiding Columns in a JTable

Hi folks,
I'm developing a program, one part of which should show in a table the information it got from the DB. It works just fine. The problem is - the user doesn't need to see all the columns (some of them are even unknown and are for intern use only). How could I hide those columns? Or should I create another TableModel and show it instead?
Thanks in advance

As a new member you should learn how to search the forum before asking a question.
A simple search would use "hiding column jtable" as the keywords as an example.

Air and spry (adding observer and addEventListener to spry regions links to open for a new window)

I'm trying to add a region.addobserver and addEventListener to spry regions so the links; that come for a external feed, opens in a new(default browser) window when clicked. The on* events in regions do not work in AIR so, is there a way to do this?
I have read a lot of the documentation on spry regions, addObserver and the addEventlistener but the samples don't deal with anything about external xml feeds with links in a spry region for a AIR app.
The closiest i saw was the gallery http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/air/photo_gallery.html, but it doesn't deal with:
links,
in a external RSS feed,
in the spry region,
to a new default browser.
Has anybody tried this before? Can it be done?
Ex:
          <div spry:region="rssDataNews" class="SpryHiddenRegion">
          <div spry:state="loading" id="notification2">Loading feeds, please wait ...<img src="assets/spinner.gif"></div>
          <div spry:state="error">Failed to load data! Please try again later</div>
            <table width="100%" spry:state="ready">
              <tr spry:repeat="rssDataNews" class="{ds_EvenOddRow}" spry:select="mySelectClass">
                <td class="cellPad">

The <a href > only opens the url in the native AIR window. I need it to open in a web browser.

About on* events
They do work, but not as attribute on your HTML elements, you will need to use eventlisteners to attach them on the relevant nodes.
How: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/dom_utils/add_event_listener.html
About links
Currently in Adobe AIR, its not (easily) possible to open or execute other programs on the users PC. I have seen die hard hacker user Java to get around this limitation. But i suggest you check out the Adobe AIR forum to confirm that you cant open links in the users browser.
But, Adobe AIR is basically a browser

Spry region drop-down list problems in IE

Can someone please help me determine the reason that IE does not display the correct item in a spry region drop-down list when first opening the site. You can see the problem at http://www.minursemap.org/agedistnurse.html. The initial item in the drop-down list should be Alcona with the corresponding graphic displayed in the detail region. In Firefox, this works correctly. When first opening the page in IE, the graphic is Alcona, but the drop-down list displays Wexford (the last item in the list). From then on, all of the links work correctly.
The code for the two regions is below. Thanks in advance for assisting someone new to spry.
<div id="ctyname">
     <div spry:region="dsChartNurse">
       <select name="name" spry:repeatchildren="dsChartNurse" onchange="dsChartNurse.setCurrentRow(this.value)">
         <option value="{ds_RowID}">{name}</option>
       </select>
</div> 
</div>
<div id="image">
   <div spry:detailregion="dsChartNurse">
        <div align="center" style="padding-bottom:15px"><img src="{dataimage}" width="405" height="202" />
        </div>
   </div>
</div>

Try the following code to replace yours:
       <select name="name" spry:repeatchildren="dsChartNurse" onchange="dsChartNurse.setCurrentRow(this.value)">
         <option spry:if="{dsChartNurse::ds_RowID}=={dsChartNurse::ds_CurrentRowID}" spry:selected="selected" value="{ds_RowID}">{name}</option>
         <option spry:if="{dsChartNurse::ds_RowID}!={dsChartNurse::ds_CurrentRowID}" value="{ds_RowID}">{name}</option>
       </select>
I hope this helps.

Spry region XML issue

I'm developing an interactive menu using the Spry and Ajax framework that lists the menu items on the left (in a Spry accordion) to a corresponding image and description on the right. I have the basic functionality working, however, my menu items are broken into sub categories, and I can't seem to get my XML file to separate these.
For an example of what I'm trying to do, visit here: http://bit.ly/g0RrU
As you can see, my menu is broken into sections; i.e. Tapas, Pizzas, Entrees...etc. Do I need to link a separate XML file to each of these sections, or can I simply make one more generation in my XML file.
For instance, could my XML file look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<menu>
     <tapas>
       <item>
          <name>Fresh Tilapia Dip</name>
          <title>Fresh Tilapia Dip</title>
          <image>../one0one/images/food/crab_cakes.jpg</image>
          <desc>Mesquite Smoked Fresh Fish w/ Tortilla Chips and Pickled Jalapenos $6.99</desc>
       </item>
       <item>
            <name>Jamaican Jerk Chicken Satay</name>
          <title>Jamaican Jerk Chicken Satay</title>
          <image>../one0one/images/food/satay.jpg</image>
          <desc>Served with Pineapple Chutney w/ 101’s Spicy Tartar. $9.99</desc>
       </item>
       </tapas>
       <pizzas>
               <name>Pizza1</name>
               <title>Pizza1</title>
               <image>img.jpg</image>
               <desc>description</desc>                      </pizzas>
</menu>
This is actually how it is currently set up, but when I link the XML file to a Spry region, it ignores the <tapas> and <pizzas> categories, and goes straight to the <item>. What's the best practice to achieve this menu effect?

What version of Spry are you using? If you are going to work
Spry and AIR, you will need Spry 1.6.1 to work within AIR's
application sandbox. You can find the details here:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/air.html
and a case study that shows what I had to do to make the
Photo Gallery work in AIR 1.0 here:

Accessing form elements within a Spry region.

Since nested Spry regions isn't yet support, can someone tell
me how to access and modify form elements within a existing region?
For example, I have a region that displays a form based on
data I defined in a javascript array. On of the form elements is a
select with some options. I want to added and remove options to
this select depending on the number of objects in the data array.
The select is not defined when I try to access it after spry
has finished rendering the form, eg
document.forms[0].selOrder1.options.length = 0;
How are Spry regions attached to the browser's DOM? Does Spry
create it's own DOM subordinate to the main DOM?
Is it possible to make changes to a Spry region without using
Spry?
thx
pwp

Actually, there are a couple of ways to get access to the DOM
underneath a region container. If you have a region, you can put an
ID attribute on the region container node, or if you are using a
region observer, the data passed into the observer has a regionNode
property. So if you want access to the region DOM anytime the
region is re-generated, do something like this:
function myRegionObserver(notificationType, notifier, data)
// We only want to do something after the region is
re-generated,
// for all other notifications, do nothing.
if (notificationType != "onPostUpdate")
return;
// If your region container element has an ID on it, just
use
// getElementByID. This is useful in the case where your
observer
// is only ever registered with one region.
var rgnElement1 = document.getElementById("headerRegion");
alert(rgnElement1.innerHTML);
// Or you can simply use the regionNode property of the data
// that is passed in. This is useful if you've registered
the same
// observer on multiple regions. The regionNode property
will
// contain the region container node for the region that is
currently
// being updated.
var rgnElement2 = data.regionNode;
alert(rgnElement2.innerHTML);
Spry.Data.Region.addObserver("headerRegion",
myRegionObserver);
<div id="headerRegion" spry:region="ds1">
</div>
