Spry:sort with thead

Hi All:
I have been trying to get spry:sort to work in a complex
table, but no matter what I try, the columns will not sort. As all
examples appear to show simple tables, I suspect this is the
problem. Has anyone got the sort function working on a complex
table? Sample code below.
Thanks for your advise.

Code sample:
<table cellspacing="1" summary="SDLC alphabetical listing
for A">
<caption>Alpha Listing: A</caption>
<col id="TemplateDocNameA" />
<col id="TemplateDocOwnerA" class="sdlcDocOwner" />
<col id="TemplateDocPhaseA" />
<col id="TemplateDocDescA" />
<thead>
<tr>
<th id="DocNameA"
spry:sort="SDLC_Template_Document_Name">Template Document
Name</th>
<th id="DocOwnerA" class="alignCenter">Document
Owner</th>
<th id="DocPhaseA">Phase</th>
<th id="DocDescA">Description</th>
<th id="DocLastModA" class="alignCenter"
spry:sort="SDLC_LastModified">Date Last Modified</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tfoot>
<tr>
<td colspan="5">Footer message.</td>
</tr>
</tfoot>
<tbody>
<tr spry:repeat="dsSDLC"
spry:test="'{SDLC_Template_Document_Name}'.charAt(0) == 'A'">
<th id="RA{ds_RowID}" headers="DocNameA"><a
href="{SDLC_Document_URL}" title="{SDLC_Template_Document_Name}:
{SDLC_Description}">{SDLC_Template_Document_Name}</a></th>
<td headers="RA{ds_RowID} DocNameA
DocOwnerA">{SDLC_Document_Owner}</td>
<td headers="RA{ds_RowID} DocNameA
DocPhaseA">{SDLC_Phase}</td>
<td headers="RA{ds_RowID} DocNameA
DocDescA">{SDLC_Description}</td>
<td headers="RA{ds_RowID} DocNameA
DocLastModA">{SDLC_LastModified}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Unfortunately an public url is not possible as this is for an
intranet site. However, I finally got it to work. For some reason,
a delay occurs within Firefox and IE when you click to sort.

Spry Sort Not Working

Spry Detail Repeat Region on my page and I have an XML
database. In the database are webinars, complete with a "Date" tag.
While the data does sort, it doesn't seem to recognize them
as dates. For instance, the date 01/01/2007 would come before
01/02/2008, while it should be sorting it with the most recent
first.
As a workaround, I've input the dates in the XML table as
they should be ordered, but it's not optimal.
The dates are entered in as:
MM/DD/YYYY
I've copied the relevant parts of the code below and would
appreciate some help!
Thank you,
Dan

Date sorting with the format you use works just fine. I just
tested it out. So I took a closer look at your code, and I see
this:
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("webinars.xml",
"news/article/Date",{sortOnLoad:"Date",sortOrderOnLoad:"ascending",distinctOnLoad:true});
ds1.setColumnType("Date", "date");
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("webinars.xml",
"news/article", { filterFunc: MyPagingFunc });
You are basically creating a ds1, setting the column type,
and then blowing away the original ds1 with a new one you create.
Which means your column type for Date is reset back to "string".
Delete ds1 creation code you don't want, and then place the
setColumnType() call after it.
It will then work as it should.

Styling spry:sort

Is it possible to apply some css styling to a <th> with
a spry:sort to give some indication of which column in a table is
currently the one that the table is being sorted by?

Phil:
Thanks so much for your reply. Yes, the fact of my using Spry 1.5 was definitely the source of part of my trouble. I got the updater and now the error message has disappeared.
My remaining problem is correctly fulfilling the implementation so that I'm triggering the addition of the ".ascending" and ".descending" classes upon user clicking the column headings. I see clearly from your example that they are being assigned dynamically and I think I have faithfully implemented the styles. But in Firebug, upon click of a column heading, while I am getting the correct Spry sorting behavior, I am unable to see the assignment of the .ascending and .descending classes.
If I had a better grasp of the JavaScript involved I could probably troublshoot it, but in this instance, I'm just trying to implement "cookbook" style, so I'm unable even to see the dumb mistakes I may have made. My implementation seems to differ from yours only in that class and dataset names are different, data is (of course) different and I'm using an html table as a dataset whereas you are using an XML file as yours. Spry 1.6.1 is now in place.
This is my markup (the relevant bits):

I have the correct graphics now.
If you have time and can spot where I've gone awry, many thanks. And thanks again for your solution and the time you spent originally looking at my page. All in all, your functionality seems like something Adobe should have put into the widget in the first place as it is virtually universal functionality in any other sortable table solutions that I've come across.

Spry:sort

Hi thank you for reading,
I have tried everything to make this table sort, but the only
thing that works is by calling a sort method as you see me doing in
the last step here.
<div spry:region="dsItems1" spry:sort="@name">
<table width="100%" height="100%" spry:sort="@name">
<trspry:sort="@name" ><td spry:sort="@name">
<h3 >Programs</h3></td></tr>
<tr spry:repeat="dsItems1" spry:setrow="dsItems1"
spry:sort="@name" >
<td spry:sort="@name" style="padding-left:15px;
"><a class="links" href="#">{@name}</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<p>
<input type="button" value="Sort A-Z" onclick="DoSort();"
/>
</p>
thanks in advance for any hints!
./b

I believe your problem has to do with the fact that you have
a spry:sort on a <td> *AND* you have a spry:sort on its
parent <tr> which means that whenever you click on the
<td>, the data set will be sorted by @name twice, giving the
appearance that nothing happens?
Make sure that you only put the sort attribute on the
<td> or <th> elements.

Spry select with xml data

Can this be done with Spry and if so, how please?
I would like to have a dropdown select on my page that is
populated by the lastname field in my database. Once selected I
would like to display a table of the data I selected from the
dropdown. I am to connect to an XML datasource and able to connect
the dropdown to that last name field. I just don't know how to get
the selected last name from the drop down to display. Any help is
greatly appreciated.

    </select>
that should be a spry:detailregion, and you have a double dsStates
And when you are using multiple datasets inside a region, it might wise to prefix you template tags with the correct dataset
{ds_RowNumber} => {dsStates::ds_RowNumber}

First thing, i used nested XMLDataSets, to get nested datas.
It works, but i have Problem with sort.
When i use spry:sort and than the nested Set it adjust only the nested values like here:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/NestedDataSample.html
My project is a car database. So i have cars...and in the xml file are the colors and kilometers in nested roots. So i ca get them only with the nested procedure. My Target is, that when the user sort by nested value, the whole table is sort by the nested sort.
Like....
If i have my table with all the cars....than i will sort the hwole table over modell....price..and and...but also over color.
How can i make this? because now i can only change the basic datastring or the nested datastring them self... so i never can sort the whole table by color...
Thanks for help!

Any help for me?
Here the code....so i guess it helps more to understand what i mean...:
var ds_autosuche = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("............xml", "results/result[brand != 0]");
ds_autosuche.setColumnType("price", "number");
var ds_autosuche_modell = new Spry.Data.NestedXMLDataSet(ds_autosuche, "modell/name");
var ds_autosuche_ez = new Spry.Data.NestedXMLDataSet(ds_autosuche, "infos/info[@type = 'ez']" );
var ds_autosuche_fuel = new Spry.Data.NestedXMLDataSet(ds_autosuche, "infos/info[@type = 'fuel']" );
var ds_autosuche_farbe = new Spry.Data.NestedXMLDataSet(ds_autosuche, "color/name");
var ds_autosuche_km = new Spry.Data.NestedXMLDataSet(ds_autosuche, "infos/info[@type = 'km']" );
i output than a table, where on every column is one value for one car. So than i can sort by brand, price....
but not the whole table by name, km, ez, fuel... because they all nested datasources... how can i sort the whole table over nested typs....????

Spry Sorting

Hello!
Is use this code in my spry xml dataset and spry table:
<div class="MainContent">
<div spry:region="dsCatalog">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">
<tr bgcolor="#CCCC99">
<th spry:sort="@id"><div align="left"
class="style2"><a
href="#">Nr</a></div></th>
<th spry:sort="date"><div align="left"
class="style2"><a
href="#">Dato</a></div></th>
<th spry:sort="Fullname"><div align="left"
class="style2"><a
href="#">Merkenavn</a></div></th>
<th spry:sort="district"><div align="left"
class="style2"><a
href="#">Distrikt</a></div></th>
<th spry:sort="score"><div align="right"
class="style2"><a
href="#">Karakter</a></div></th>
</tr>
<tr spry:repeat="dsCatalog" spry:setrow="dsCatalog"
spry:odd="odd" spry:even="even" spry:hover="hover"
spry:select="selected">
<td><div
align="left">{@id}</div></td>
<td><div
align="left">{date}</div></td>
<td><div
align="left">{Fullname}</div></td>
<td><div
align="left">{district}</div></td>
<td><div
align="right">{score}</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
The problem I have is that the highest amount of digits I use
in the score field is 10,0 (3 digits) and all other values is 2
digits (9,5 and 8,0) and the three digit value will not sort in the
right order. I use sorting in all columns as you can see. The value
of 10,0 will always stays in bottom (ascending) or top
(descending). Do I have to use XSL to give a solution to this (and
if so, how to implement it?). Or maybe there is another solution to
this?
Thanks in advance!

Text

Hi E.B.,
The trouble stems from using commas instead of decimal
points.
First, by default, Spry assumes the column is text and sorts
it as such.
If you set the column to a number:
datasetname.setColumnType("columnname","number");
Spry will return [NaN} (not a number) because it can't deal
with the commas.
If you use decimals points, it will work correctly.
If you can't use decimals, the solution will have to be XSL
or otherwise.
Hope this helps.

SPRY - sorting UK dates

I have created a SPRY sortable table in Dreamweaver CS4. Two columns are formatted as UK dates dd/mm/yyyy. They are identified as dates in the SPRY table.
When sorting these date columns SPRY is reading them as US date format which means the sorting is, while not quite random, pretty meaningless. I have checked this by reformatting and displaying the date as US date format mm/dd/yyyy and then SPRY sorts them as expected.
Would appreciate some help with how I retain the UK date appearance and achieve a sort on that basis. Is there a localisation file somewhere in the SPRY framework that allows date formats to be identified?
If not, can anyone advise how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance for any help.

The root of the issue is that using JavaScript to a string into a date easily lead to inconsistent, unexpected results.
The way I solved this in the past is to have two columns inside my Spry datasets. One stores the date in yyyy-mm-dd format (ISO 8901, the format typically used by databases), another one stores a nicely formatted date (whatever format the language dictated).
Then I always display the nicely formatted column, but I sort it only the yyyy-mm-dd one.
As a bonus, yyyy-mm-dd sorts okay just as a string, so I have no need to assign a different datatype to it.

Spry Accordian with dynamic panels from XML

Hi. I've searched, but haven't seen anybody answer this yet.
I'm trying to build a page that uses a spry accordian to display
data by category. So category 1 is on panel 1 in a spry table with
a link to a spry detail section on the page. Category 2 is on panel
2 in a spry table with a link to the same spry detail section, etc.
I have 2 issues: 1) I haven't figured out how to filter a
single XML data set onto different accordian panels or
2) how to get the same detail region to take links from
different XML data sets on the different panels.
Any help that anybody could give would be VERY much
appreciated.
THANKS!

I did get it working. Please check out..

The key is the Data Set Shell. I use multiple data sets for
each category, in your case department. Then I list the items in
that category to update a detail region. If the above link doesn't
help you please re-post and I can give you some more help.

Spry Slideshow with Filmstrip not working in IE Browsers

I'm working on a brand new website design and am trying to incorporate the Spry Slideshow with Filmstrip on a lot of the pages. It works and loads great on every browser except IE versions. On IE it will show it correctly for a second and then changes it to show one picture above the other. Can someone please help me figure out what to do to make it work for IE?
Here's a link to one of the test pages.

A simple question about wrong sorting with multiple sort columns in Excel 2010

Hi, everyone! I have encountered a problem that I don't know how to explain.
So I post it here because I don't know if there is another more relevant forum...
I have a data sheet with the students' scores for the course.
All the data were generated with the randbetween function,
and pasted with the values.
To rank the students by their performance,
I did the sort with the column "total score" as the first sort-column
and "final term" as the second.
The weird thing to me is that the order of the data seems problematic.
That is, all the rows are sorted correctly with the first sort-column.
But for the rows with the same values of the first sort-column,
there are some rows whose values of the second sort-column are out of order.
(please look at the data file at
www_dot_kuaipan_dot_cn/file/id_67204268108546068_dot_htm
Please change the "_dot_" to the real literal dot.
Especially the rows with 56.7 as the first sort-column value
and some other values near the tail of the list.)
I tried to manually input and sort the same values of both columns
in a near-by region. The result was correct.
When some friend copied all the data to paste in Notepad,
and reload them in excel. The problem disappears.
Some friend also tried to wrap a round function at the values of the 1st sort-column,
the sorting order became correct!
But they could not explain why either.
How confusing! I even tried to swap the first and secod sort-column;
the output was right.
All the data were generated by randbetween function and pasted with values.
Where could all the special characters, if any, come?
Can anyone give me an explanation? I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Sort is not in proper order
Sounds as if the data includes spaces or hidden characters that are affecting the sort.
That is indicated by the fact that manually entering the data resolves the problem.

Hi to all,
i've solved, is very simple using decode inside the select:
SELECT
ID,
FK_HTMLDB_ITEM, DECODE(FK_HTMLDB_ITEM,1,HTMLDB_ITEM.DATE_POPUP(3,rownum,VAL,'dd-mon-yyyy'),2,HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(3,VAL)) VALORE
FROM TESTID
my table is:
CREATE TABLE "DEV"."TESTID"
(     "ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "FK_HTMLDB_ITEM" NUMBER,
     "VAL" VARCHAR2(4000 BYTE))
Bye Bye

Currency Format in Spry Sort Table

Any ideas on how to format all numbers in a spry sort table
into US currency? Currently on my site, Spry is not displaying the
".00" that is included in my XML file.
My
Spry Sort Table Example

Hi,
yes, I`ve had the same behavior. As a workaround, you have to change the format of the cells.
Go into the properties of the cells:
-> Right mouse click
-> format cells
-> category
-> number
-> change something, e.g. the number of decimal places to show
Then you will have to map the component again to the same cells under "Display Data".
And now, the currency information will be shown correctly.

Spry deal with many xml files

Hi guys!
I have a problem about "Spry.Data.XMLDataSet",
I have two xml files, "em1.xml" and "em2.xml". they have the
same structure;
The code of "em1.xml" :
<employees>
<employee id="123456">
<lastname>Smith</lastname>
<firstname>Edward</firstname>
<phone>(415) 333-0235 </phone>
<username>esmith</username>
</employee>
<employee id="127937">
<lastname>Johnson</lastname>
<firstname>Neil</firstname>
<phone>(415) 333-9475 </phone>
<username>njohnson</username>
</employee>
</employees>
and the "em2.xml" code:
<employees">
<employee id="123543">
<lastname>Davis</lastname>
<firstname>Kirk</firstname>
<phone>(415) 333-4334 </phone>
<username>kdavis</username>
</employee>
<employee id="127944">
<lastname>Miller</lastname>
<firstname>James</firstname>
<phone>(415) 333-7566 </phone>
<username>jmiller</username>
</employee>
</employees>
Now! I want to display these datas on a dynamic table.here is
my code
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("em1.xml",
"employees/employee");
var ds2 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("em2.xml",
"employees/employee");
var ds3 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet();
ds3.data = ds1 + ds2;
<div spry:region="ds3">
<ul spry:repeatchildren="ds3">
<li spry:sort="lastname">{lastname}</li>
</ul>
</div>
finally! But It does not work! How can I combine "ds1" and
"ds2"!
------

on my God! Spry have not support the method!
but I've solved it;
my code:
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("em1.xml",
"employees/employee");
var ds2 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("em2.xml",
"employees/employee");
ds1.loadData();
ds2.loadData();
//ds2 addObserver
var myObj = new Object;
myObj .onPostLoad = function(dataSet,data){
dataSet.data = dataSet.data.concat(ds1.data);//concat two
array
for(var i=0; i<dataSet.data.length; i++){
dataSet.data
.ds_RowID = i;//reset ds_RowID
ds2.addObserver(myObj );

Spry accordion with nested accordions

I'm building an FAQ list with topics and sub topics, using a
containing Spry accordion with multiple children, though just the
one extra level deep. The nested accordions won't expand the full
list. Instead, the div height remains fixed, and I get a scroll
bar. Any ideas what part of the javascript to tweak to open up this
functionality?

Sure! It has to be done in two parts. First part from your
SpryAccordion.css file and the second it is adding a new
property to the
Accordion object when its initialized.
First part:
Select .AccordionPanelContent class
Delete Height property
Change the value of overflow from auto to hidden;
Second part:
In the constructor function at the bottom of your faqs.htm
file, amend
this code:
var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1");
var Accordion9 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion9");
to this:
var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1",
{useFixedPanelHeights:false});
var Accordion9 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion9",
{useFixedPanelHeights:false});
Hope this helps.
