Issue
I am using pear HTML_TABLE to create a table display from a database. Because there are empty fields I am using the auto fill to fill in empty cells with an image. However, I need a different image for the alternating columns. This is the code that generates the empty cells:
$attrs = array( 'class' => 'main',
'id' => 'main_id',
'width' => '100%',
'border' => '1',
'cellspacing' => '0',
'cellpadding' => '0');
$table = new HTML_Table($attrs);
$table->setAutoGrow(true);
$table->setAutoFill("<span class='iconImg'></span>");
I have tried using javascript, and jquery to accomplish this, but without success. The javascript (jquery) i have tried is:
$(".main td:not(.jobCell):not(.tJCell)").each(function(){
var colIndex = $(this).cellPos().left;
var preCol = colIndex % 2;
if (preCol == 0)
{
$(this).text( 'Even');
//$(this).attr( 'src', '../images/buttons/list.png');
}
else
{
$(this).attr( 'src', '../images/buttons/btn_pointer.png');
}
});
The above javascript is fine for placing odd or even as text in each cell. The problem is that I don't need text, I need an image, as in the else statement. I believe the code is correct, but it does not work. I have even tried doing this with css, but the following css doesn't work either.
.iconImg
{
background-image:url(../../images/buttons/list.png);
}
All help and/or advice in this matter would be greatly appreciated! I have been stuck on this for too many days now.
Solution
In the hopes that this will help others. My solution is based on cweiske's answer/suggestion. Since I could not get the css odd/even functionality to work, I used the following jquery script to assign a class to my auto filled cells:
$(".main td:not(.jobCell):not(.tJCell)").each(function(){
var colIndex = $(this).cellPos().left;
var preCol = colIndex % 2;
if (preCol == 0)
{
$(this).addClass('evenCell');
}
else
{
$(this).addClass('oddCell');
}
});
The above function is reference code written by nrodic. This was used because I have colspans and rowspans throughout my table (which throws off cell indexing), and the empty cells between are auto filled with using pear HTML_TABLE auto fill like this:
$attrs = array( 'class' => 'main',
'id' => 'main_id',
'width' => '100%',
'border' => '1',
'cellspacing' => '0',
'cellpadding' => '0');
$table = new HTML_Table($attrs);
$table->setAutoGrow(true);
$table->setAutoFill("");
Then the resulting css code is this:
.evenCell
{
background:url(../../images/buttons/btn_pointer.png) no-repeat;
background-position:center;
}
.oddCell
{
background:url(../../images/buttons/btn_list.png) no-repeat;
background-position:center;
}
Hope this is helpful to others!
