instantiates the edit_table

• target: a DOM-Element, or the id of a DOM-Element, in which the table should be drawn.
• cols: numeric Array of the columns to show, this array defines the column order.
• colTitles: optional, Hashtable, Key: column name, Value: their caption.
• colWidths: optional, Hashtable, Key: column name, Value: witch in pixels.

Passes the data to show to the table. The table redraws itself after this call. principally works like drawTable in the datatable, unsaved changes will be lost.

• data: a numeric array of the records to show, the records itself should be hashtables, key: the columnname, value: the value
• pos: optional, the absolute position of the first record in data, this is especially used if the table is used by a chachedtable
• sortedCol: optional, one of the shown columns. this does NOT sort the given data, it does just indicate that the data is sorted by this column. A little array will be shown in the this column's header.
• sortDir: optional, the sort diraction of the sortedCol (“ASC” oder “DESC”), to draw the right arrow.

Sets a special editor for the cell-values of a specified column. An editor must be a subclass of input (in modules/tools/input.js). The table uses the methods setValue and getValue of the given editors and the on app defined methods “setContainer”. If no editor is set for a particular column a “normal” text-input is used as editor component.

To achieve that a column will get “read-only” set its editor to null

Examples:

table.setEditor('id', null);                           // makes the id-column read-only
table.setEditor('income', new number_input(null));     // Sets the income-editor to "numbers-only" textinput
table.setEditor('birthday', new dateinput(null));      // Sets the editor to a dateinput, a module to enter dates

var divisions = {'R&D':'Development', 'prod':'Production', 'sales':'Sales', 'purchase':'Purchasing'};
table.setEditor('department', new selector(null, divisions ));     // to use a selector for division.

Revokes the users changes.

Adds a new row at the end of the table an sets the courser into it.

returns whether anything has been edited or not

Returns a hashtable of all edited rows. As key, the value of the defined idCol is user (see setIdCol at datatable)

@param idAsKey boolean - OPTIONAL - If this argument is set to true, the method returns a numeric array of the edited rows.

If the idCol is not set a numeric array will be returned. The records itself are hashtables, key: columnname, value: the value

returns a numeric array of the newly created rows. The records itself are hashtables, key: columnname, value: the value

Returns a numeric array of all edited rows and all inserted rows.

A shortcut for:

var updated = table.getUpdatedRows(false);  // als numeric Array
var inserted = table.getInsertedRows();
