I am using one jQuery
plug-in called DataTables
:
http://www.datatables.net/
The plugin doesn't support rowspan in tbody
<tr class="colorrow">
<td id="greater" rowspan="3">TMMS</td>
<td>Case Volume</td>
<td>0</td>
<td>0</td>
<td>0</td>
<td>1</td>
<td>1</td>
</tr>
Is there any other solution for this?
http://datatables.net/plug-ins/api#fnFakeRowspan
Try this. Just apply css "display:none;" where you want to apply rowspan.
<table id="example">
<tr class="colorrow">
<td id="greater" rowspan="3">TMMS</td>
<td>Case Volume</td>
<td>0</td>
<td>0</td>
<td>0</td>
<td>1</td>
<td>1</td>
</tr>
<tr class="colorrow">
<td style="display: none;">TMMS</td>
<td>Case Volume</td>
<td>0</td>
<td>0</td>
<td>0</td>
<td>1</td>
<td>1</td>
</tr>
<tr class="colorrow">
<td style="display: none;">TMMS</td>
<td>Case Volume</td>
<td>0</td>
<td>0</td>
<td>0</td>
<td>1</td>
<td>1</td>
</tr>
</table>
Put same script for datatable.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').DataTable();
});
</script>
The fnFakeRowspan function on the datatables.net website wasn't working well for me. Instead, I wrote a new version:
https://gist.github.com/4155754
To use it, add data-rowspan="XXX" and data-hide="true" attributes to your cells, like this:
<table id="table">
<tr>
<td data-rowspan="2">-</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td data-hide="true">-</td>
</tr>
</table>
Ideally this script would automatically calculate which cells to hide, but I had that info already, so didn't write that into this script.
Then call it as usual:
$('#table').dataTable().fnFakeRowspan();
You can hide the cells and add rowspan attributes after the redraw of the table
in the configuration add the parameter drawCallback :
"drawCallback": function ( settings ) {
drawCallback(this.api());
}
Then expose the callback function
/**
* drawCallback
* launch after search
*
* @param {Object} api - dataTable().api()
* @param {bool} isMobile
*
**/
function drawCallback(api) {
var rows = api.rows( {page:'current'} ).nodes(),
settings = {
"COLUMN_THEME" : 1,
"COLUMN_SUBTHEME" : 3
};
$("#myTable").find('td').show();
mergeCells(rows, settings.COLUMN_THEME);
mergeCells(rows, settings.COLUMN_SUBTHEME);
}
}
then the function to collapse
/**
* mergeCells
* Merges cells with the same wording
*
* @param {Object} api - dataTable().api()
* @param {Array} rows - array of selected TR element
* @param {Number} rowIndex - index of column
*
**/
function mergeCells(rows, rowIndex) {
var last = null,
currentRow = null,
k = null,
gNum = 0,
refLine = null;
rows.each( function (line, i) {
currentRow = line.childNodes[rowIndex];
if ( last === currentRow.innerText ) {
currentRow.setAttribute('style', 'display: none');
++k;
return; //leave early
}
last = currentRow.innerText;
if ( i > 0 ) {
rows[refLine].childNodes[rowIndex].rowSpan = ++k;
++gNum;
}
k = 0; refLine = i;
});
// for the last group
rows[refLine].childNodes[rowIndex].rowSpan = ++k;
}
