Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    additional javascript affects AJAX callback

    I have been experimenting with moving records between lists and then saving the data in the target list.

    I got the target list to save by using the SQL_INSERT function in an AJAX callback, which Selwyn recently altered at my request to UPSERT so that existing records are updated and new records are added. This worked brilliantly.

    I then got a little more ambitious and added some preprocessing by Javascript to the records in the target list before calling the callback. Firstly a simple set one of the fields in the list to a value from a textbox on the UX, all records to the same value. Using
    Code:
    var lObj={dialog.object}.getControl('buildup');var ldata=lObj._data.length;
    var qty={dialog.object}.getValue('qty');
    //alert(qty);	
    
    
    for (i=0; i<=ldata; i++){
    	
    	lObj.updateTableRow(i,{OUTPUT:qty});
    }
    {dialog.object}.saveListEdits('buildup',{rows: 'allRows'});
    everything works fine and I am part way to reaching my goal. I then needed to start adding some calculations to the records in the list, so I added the extra code in BLUE below
    Code:
    var lObj={dialog.object}.getControl('buildup');var ldata=lObj._data.length;
    var qty={dialog.object}.getValue('qty');
    //alert(qty);	
    
    
    for (i=0; i<=ldata; i++){
    	
    	lObj.updateTableRow(i,{OUTPUT:qty});
    	[COLOR=#0000ff]var constant=lObj.getData(i).CONSTANT;[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=#0000ff]	var waste=lObj.getData(i).A_WASTE;[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=#0000ff]	//alert(qty*constant*(1+(waste/100)));[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=#0000ff]	lObj.updateTableRow(i,{TOTAL_QTY:qty*constant*(1+(waste/100))});[/COLOR]
    	
    }
    {dialog.object}.saveListEdits('buildup',{rows: 'allRows'});
    Although the alert of the calculation works and the records in the list show the TOTAL_QTY as having the correct value for each record the subsequent callback does not fire and therefore the records do not get saved back to the mySQL table.

    I have been playing with this for a few hours now and have drawn a complete blank, can anybody spot what is wrong?

    Just a suggestion. Perhaps this could be better done in a MySQL procedure. Just pass in the data needed for the calculation then let MySQL take care of it.
    Win 10 64 Development, Win 7 64 WAS 11-1, 2, Win 10 64 AA-1,2, MySql, dbForge Studio The Best MySQL GUI Tool IMHO. http://www.devart.com/dbforge/mysql/studio/

      That's the sort of thing I am coming away from Frank. Used to do it in MySQL and also just all in a callback which resulted in too much server traffic hence trying out the client side. There are further calculations that need to be added of a similar nature to the ones in blue above which, when you have a lot of records can take an age in callbacks etc but Javascript is lightning fast.

        Re: additional javascript affects AJAX callback

        I feel you're doing a bit too much work in the JS code... and it's a bit too complex in general... and specifically for the List control.

        You're including a calculation in the update data. Isn't this producing a visual error in the List row?
        You've got the List control object, and therefore the data, but you're using another function to get specific row data... e.g. .getData()
        Although JS doesn't complain, you're using strings in calculations. I prefer to know specifically what I'm working with.
        You're updating the List twice per loop.
        I believe your loop is wrong... I think it should be i<ldata... not i<=ldata.

        Code:
        var lObj={dialog.object}.getControl('buildup');
        var ldata=lObj._data.length;
        var qty=Number({dialog.object}.getValue('qty'));
        
        for (i=0; i<ldata; i++){
        	
        	var updData = {};
        
        	var constant = Number(lObj._data[i].CONSTANT);
        	var waste = Number(lObj._data[i].A_WASTE);
        	var total = qty*constant*(1+(waste/100));
        
        	updData.OUTPUT = qty;	
        	updData.TOTAL_QTY = total;
        	
        	lObj.updateTableRow(i,updData);
        	
        }
        {dialog.object}.saveListEdits('buildup',{rows: 'allRows'});
        Edit: Corrected _data array

          Thanks David,

          I corrected the loop to i<ldata and my code worked!

          Thinking your code was more eloquent, and would work better for the further calculations, I replaced my code in the loop with yours and it failed. On testing with alert statements, I get nothing after the var constant = Number(lObj._data(i).CONSTANT); line. I then checked the var waste line with the var constant line commented out and this failed as well.

          I see your point about Number() and have added that to each of my var statements.

          Thanks for your help, as always.

            You should learn to use the Chrome debugger in order to walk through your Javascript. It'll save you a lot of trouble... and a lot of guessing.
