Editing data¶

Grid allows you to edit your data easily and send the changed values back to your server

First, you have to set a editor for each cell, you would like to edit:

<script type="text/javascript">
    dojo.require("dojox.grid.DataGrid");
    dojo.require("dojo.data.ItemFileWriteStore");
</script>

<span dojoType="dojo.data.ItemFileWriteStore"
    jsId="store3" url="/_static/dojo/dijit/tests/_data/countries.json">
</span>

<div>
    This example shows, how to make the column "Type" editable.
    In order to select a new value, you have to double click on the current value in the second column.
</div>

<table dojoType="dojox.grid.DataGrid"
    jsId="grid3"
    store="store3"
    query="{ name: '*' }"
    rowsPerPage="20"
    clientSort="true"
    style="width: 400px; height: 200px;"
    rowSelector="20px">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th width="200px"
                field="name">Country/Continent Name</th>
            <th width="auto"
                field="type"
                cellType="dojox.grid.cells.Select"
                options="country,city,continent"
                editable="true">Type</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
</table>

<style type="text/css">
    @import "/_static/dojo/dijit/themes/nihilo/nihilo.css";
    @import "/_static/dojo/dojox/grid/resources/nihiloGrid.css";
</style>
