Enhancing the New JavaScript Grid With HTMLBy Mark Derwin
In release 7.7 of WebFOCUS, a new control was added to the Maintain Development Environment (MDE). The JavaScript grid allows a user to display and update multiple rows and columns of data on a Maintain Winform. While we already had an Active-X grid, this object has several advantages.
The first advantage is that you no longer have to have the Active-X control installed on all computers displaying the object. This could sometimes be a problem if computers were not allowed to download objects because of security. In addition, you don’t have to worry about the version of the object.
Second, the JavaScript grid can easily be manipulated with JavaScript commands. Third, you can use the JavaScript grid on browsers like Firefox and Safari. The Active-X grid could only be displayed on Internet Explorer. Lastly, you can easily add both images and HTML objects to grid cells for display and selections. This article discusses how to use HTML. Please note the Active-X grid is still available and fully supported.
