I have a table that is built on page load so just a typical DOM data source. My table also has a form with checkboxes so someone can delete a row:
Just building the table is easy:
I've now added an AJAX implementation to delete the row:
If I do this it removes the row in the table but with pagination showing 10 rows it removes one of them leaving 9. I need to refresh this somehow and wasn't clear what is the best way to achieve this? I can refresh the page but that would defeat the point of doing this AJAX implementation. Any advice would be appreciated.
<form id="deleteform" name="myform" action="">
<table id="webcam-table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>...</th>
<th><input type="checkbox" name="checkboxselectall" title="Select All" />
<button type="submit" class="deletebutton" name="delete_video" title="Delete the selected videos">Delete</button></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr >
<td>some data</td>
...
<td><input type="checkbox" value="<?php echo $this->result_videos[$i]["video_name"]; ?>" title="Mark this video for deletion"/></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</form>
Just building the table is easy:
jQuery('#webcam-table').dataTable({
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"bStateSave": true,
"aaSorting": [[1,"desc"]],
"aoColumnDefs": [
{ "bSortable": false, "aTargets": [ 4 ] }
]
});
I've now added an AJAX implementation to delete the row:
jQuery(".deletebutton").on("click", function(e) {
e.preventDefault(); //cancel click event on start
var testchecked = jQuery(':checkbox:checked').length;
if (testchecked == 0) {
alert('Please select at least one video');
e.preventDefault();
}
else
{
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete the selected videos?"))
{
var checked = jQuery('input:checkbox:checked').map(function () {
return this.value;
}).get();
var $this = jQuery(this);
jQuery.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'index.php?option=com_recordings&task=deletevideos&format=raw',
data: {checkedarray:checked},
success: function(data){
jQuery('#deleteform input:checkbox').each(function(){
if(this.checked){
jQuery('input:checkbox:checked').parents("tr").remove();
}
});
}
});
}
}
});
If I do this it removes the row in the table but with pagination showing 10 rows it removes one of them leaving 9. I need to refresh this somehow and wasn't clear what is the best way to achieve this? I can refresh the page but that would defeat the point of doing this AJAX implementation.
