<initial value>
(of text input field) and <label text>

Text: | To Escape: |
---|---|
$quot | Double quote (" ). Alternatively write \" to escape it |
$percnt | Percent sign (% ) |
$dollar | Dollar sign ($ ) |
$nop or $nop() | Is a "no operation" |
date
field type allows one to choose a date with a popup calendar. Popup calendar works for Netscape 6.0 or better, all other Gecko-based browsers, Internet Explorer 5.0 or better for Windows, Opera 7 and Konqueror 3.1.2. The ...
button is inactive if the browser cannot support the popup calendar. It uses the nice Mishoo DHTML calendar, see also TWiki:Codev/JavaScriptDatePickerForForm %EDITCELL{ "type, ..." }%
variable at the end of the cell content. This is useful to override the per column %EDITTABLE{ format="..." }%
settings, or to create tables with key/value rows. All edit field types of the format="..."
parameter are supported. For example, to define a text field, type: | cell content %EDITCELL{ "text, 20" }% |
It is also possible to place the edit button inside a cell instead of default location below the table. Type | %EDITCELL{ "editbutton, 1, Edit this table" }% |
to show a button, or | %EDITCELL{ "editbutton, 1, Edit table, Image-URL" }% |
to show a button image with alternate text.
Note: The %EDITCELL{ }%=variable cannot be used by itself; place an =%EDITTABLE{ }%=variable at the beginning of a table where you want to use =%EDITCELL{ }%
variables.
%EDITTABLE{ format="| row, -1 | text, 20, init | select, 1, one, two, three, four | radio, 3,:-),:-I,:-( | label, 0, %SERVERTIME{"$day $mon $year $hour:$min"}% |" changerows="on" }%
You type:
%EDITTABLE{ format="| label | text, 40 |" }% |*Key*|*Value*| | Name: | John Smith | | Gender: | M %EDITCELL{select, 1, , F, M}% | | DOB: | 1999/12/31 %EDITCELL{date, 10}% | | City: | New York | |
