create a copy button on datagrid

[dan]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a 'copy' button on datagrid so that a user can select a previous entry and then copy it to the database - similar to the edit function. The id is AI so this is the only value that I dont want to copy for obvious reasons, I think this can be done but I havent a clue to get it working.

I've created the copy button ready but need to create the script.

Any help is appreciated!

UPDATE

I ran this code and it created the copy but the problem is the dialog box didnt close so I clicked the save button 3 times and it created 3 copies - does anyone know how to get it to close the dialog after save is hit and refresh the data?

here's my code;-   

function copyDel(){
         $('#dlg').dialog('open').dialog('setTitle','Copy Delivery Note');
         $('#fm').form('clear');
         url = '/functions/add/add_del_out.php';
      }

      }

To close a dialog, you need to call the 'close' method.

Code:

$('#dlg').dialog('close');

Hi stworthy,

thanks but I am struggling to get that method to work. My code currently is;-

      function copyDel(){
         var row = $('#dg').datagrid('getSelected');
         if (row){
            $('#dlg').dialog('open').dialog('setTitle','COPY Delivery Note');
            $('#fm').form('load',row);
            url = '/add_del_out.php?id='+row.id;
            
         }
      }

I tried to add your 'close' method at the end but I think this opens the dialog and then immediately closes it. I would have thought that once I clicked save it saved the data to the database and then cleared and closed the dialog.

Any ideas?

You do not paste your saving code but it may look like this.

Code:

$.ajax({
	url:...
	//...
	success:function(){
		$('#dlg').dialog('close');
	}
})

Hi again,

my saving code is;-

      function saveDel(){
         $('#fm').form('submit',{
            url: url,
            onSubmit: function(){
               return $(this).form('validate');
            },
            success: function(result){
               var result = eval('('+result+')');
               if (result.errorMsg){
                  $.messager.show({
                     title: 'Error',
                     msg: result.errorMsg
                  });
               } else {
                  $('#dlg').dialog('close');      // close the dialog
                  $('#dg').datagrid('reload');   // reload the user data
               }
            }
         });
      }

but I would have thought it should still close once the save button is clicked? The data gets added to the database ok
