Scrollable table in DV-TV

[rpierce]

Hi,

I have found code in the forum to make the table header sticky while scrolling through the records in table view. Is there a way to make the header sticky while in DV-TV?

Thank you,
Ray

Probaly the same code shall work also for the DV-TV, but you need to wait till the child-table is loaded before applying the change.

The code is in the footer-extras hook file. It does change the header color in DV-TV but doesn't make the header sticky.

I don't understand your meaning, "wait until the child-table is loaded before applying the change".

Thank you,
Ray

The code in footer-extras is executed before the child table is loaded. This is due to the fact, that the child table is loaded asyn. So that means, that before executing the code to the change of the table, you need to make sure that the child table is loaded.

The color changes as this happens through the CSS definitions which is also applied for elements loaded later.

Hello again,

That makes sense, but how do I go about doing it? I have the record in DV-TV, so aren't both tables open? The code affects the header color of the child table but doesn't make it sticky.

Hi,

well as a quick try, wrap the code in a setTimeout(function, milliseconds);

Code: Select all

setTimeout(function () {
  CODE FOR STICKY TABLE
}, 1000);

Adjust the 1000 to your needs.

WARNING, this is just a quick fix to test if it works.

YES. That worked! What is the permanent fix?

One thing I noticed however is that in a table that does not have a child table being shown below it (no DV-TV), the formatting of the table is ruined. If I remove the timer code, the formatting is restored.
