jQuery: Move Table Row?

Image
By User



Say I had to links with up/down arrows for moving a table row up or down in order. What would be the most straightforward way to move that row up or down one position (using jQuery)?





There doesn't seem to be any direct way to do this using jQuery's built in methods, and after selecting the row with jQuery, I haven't found a way to then move it. Also, in my case, making the rows draggable (which I have done with a plugin previously) isn't an option.

    You could also do something pretty simple with the adjustable up/down..

    given your links have a class of up or down you can wire this up in the click handler of the links. This is also under the assumption that the links are within each row of the grid.

    $(document).ready(function(){
    $(".up,.down").click(function(){
    var row = $(this).parents("tr:first");
    if ($(this).is(".up")) {
    row.insertBefore(row.prev());
    } else {
    row.insertAfter(row.next());
    }
    });
    });

    <table>
    <tr>
    <td>One</td>
    <td>
    <a href="#" class="up">Up</a>
    <a href="#" class="down">Down</a>
    </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>Two</td>
    <td>
    <a href="#" class="up">Up</a>
    <a href="#" class="down">Down</a>
    </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>Three</td>
    <td>
    <a href="#" class="up">Up</a>
    <a href="#" class="down">Down</a>
    </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>Four</td>
    <td>
    <a href="#" class="up">Up</a>
    <a href="#" class="down">Down</a>
    </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>Five</td>
    <td>
    <a href="#" class="up">Up</a>
    <a href="#" class="down">Down</a>
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
