Datagrid

[forsaken]

I have created a datagrid in Dreamweaver, and want to retrieve data from the first column in the row in which the user has selected or highlighted and display that data in the textbox field in another page after the user has clicked on the button Add.

So for example..the user clicks on row 1, and that row is highlighted, i want to be able to retrieve the data in the cell in the first column of that row and display that data in the textbox in the form after they click on the Add button.

I'm not sure how to do this with either javascript or php. Can anyone help me out? lol much appreciated.

I assume you used a the table tags (table, tr, td etc) to create this. If so you will need to use Javascript. Take a look at the event handler onclick, as well as JS DOM. Im not going to write it out for you but its not too complex (mind you it will take sometime if you dont know JS).

This is the code i have currently in the button.

<input name="btnNewContact" type="button" disabled id="btnNewContact" value="New Contact" onClick="switchSection('mainSection','contactSection'); document.getElementById('orgname').value = document.getElementById('selected'.cells[1].value">

However, when you click on it, it doesnt do anything. If i remove the document.getElementById('orgname').value = document.getElementById('selected'.cells[1].value" part, it goes to the form page.

I'm not sure how to store the data from the selected row and retrieve it and then display it in a textbox.

I'm guessing a function would need to be created?
and then called from the form action.

Try asking this in a Javascript forum.
