Dynamic Textbox

[Ellusionist]

Hi,

In my jsp file i get data which comes from a database and display it in a table.

There are three columns of data (comes from database) and in the fourth column I have a textbox.

The problem is that all the textboxes will have the same name because they are created in the loop.

Is there a work around?

Thanks.


<c:forEach items="${ol.orders}" var="ordersUndel">
<tr>
<td>
<c:out value="${ordersUndel.DelNum}" />
</td>
<td>
<c:out value="${ordersUndel.OrdNum}" />
</td>
<td>


<c:out value="${ordersUndel.dataNum}" />


</td>
<td>


<input type="text" size="10" maxlength="10" name="info"/>
</td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>

with c:out you can insert for example order number in name field like tis

<input type="text" size="10" maxlength="10" name="info-<c:out value='${ordersUndel.OrdNum}' />"/>

It's not pretty but it should work. going to test right now

yeah it works just fine. But maybe you should look to some comfortable framework if there are many tables in your webapp.

Valuelist (http://valuelist.sourceforge.net/) - havent tried
Displaytag (http://displaytag.sourceforge.net/11/) - looks easier
Display tag editable stuff (http://demo.appfuse.org/appfuse/demos/users-edit.jsp) - haven't tried but looks interesting
