Checkbox in table

[Former Member]

Dear WD freaks,

I am currently observing a behavior of WD, which can not be really called "user friendly". I hope your folks could provide some advises on it. So here is the deal:

When ever you click on a row in a table, even with the table being set as "Row not selectable", and the event handler "onSelection()" being empty, it still triggers a request&response cycle, which means you browser refreshes the page and you have to wait 1-2 seconds, for no change at all on the page.

This behavior has extreme impact on the user experience: just imagine the user want to type in some input in an InputField in the table or want to click on a checkbox in the table, he will have to wait for some time, but for nothing... If he has to select like 5 items, he has to wait 5x1 or 5x2 seconds....

Is there a way to get rid of the event when I set the table as "Not selectable"? Our customers are really going to escalate on this one...

Best regards,

Ge

Hi Ge Lin,

Change the table property compatibilityMode to nw04plus to solve this problem.

Thanks folks! After I changed the attribute, it works fine! Many thanks!

I am wondering what does it mean to change it to "04Plus", does it mean my app will not run on the version lower than nw04? But since I developed it on 04s, it would not run on 04 and lower anyway...

Hi

Do change the compatability mode of the table from 'auto' to 'nw04Plus', it will work fine.

thanks

Ge,

As far as I know, when you say "Row not selectable", the lead selection event does not fire. I've checked it. Which version of NW are you on?
