Select multiple rows

[Amal_Elaine]

Hi,

I have a dynamic table of user accounts, and the user can select a single account from that table.  Each table row has a checkbox in the first column that the user can select, and, when selected, the index of that row is submitted to the form's java script object for further processing.  Using the index allows me to get that row's table data.  So far so good...

Now the client wants to be able to have the ability to select multiple accounts from the dynamic table. So I will need to remove the checkbox's onClick event and add a button that the user can click once all accounts have been selected.

How do I get a handle to the (one or more) checkboxes that were selected in the table rows?  Can you provide a javascript example?

Thank you,

Elaine

Here is a view of my dynamic form...(click the image to see the whole thing)

and the script attached to the "Get Selected" button.

// form1.purchaseOrder.detailHeader.checkSelectedBtn::click - (JavaScript, client)

var indexStr = getInstanceData(xfa.resolveNodes("detail[*].selected"));
if (indexStr.length != 0) {
    for (var i=0;i < indexStr.length; i++) {
        xfa.host.messageBox("You selected " + indexStr.substring(i,i+1));
    }
}

function getInstanceData(node) {
    var str = "";
    if (node.length != 0) {
        for (nNodeCount=0; nNodeCount < node.length; nNodeCount++) {
            // test if the checkbox is selected
            if (node.item(nNodeCount).rawValue == "1") {
                str += nNodeCount;
            }
        }
    }
    return str;
}

I substring and display the index string for demonstration purposes. The form and the sample data are attached. With any luck the virus scanner will not indefinitlely enqueue the assets.
