setcellvalue on cellvaluechanged is breaking the tab navigation

[ioanaParticipant]

Hi jqWidgets Team,

need your help again.

Scenario:

– When the value for a cell has changed (cellvaluechanged) a http request is sent to the server in order to format the given value
– If the request was successful, the cell value must be changed to the formatted value (setcellvalue)

The user should be able to navigate to the next cell in Grid using the tab key after he did the steps described above. Yet, there seem to be a problem, cause the next cell is not selected, so it can not be changed.

Any ideas how can I fix this? Please note that I need to work with cell, not row.

Regards,
Ioana

Hi ioana,

You should never call setcellvalue within cellvaluechanged. This is wrong approach which will cause Exceptions due to the fact that setcellvalue will raise the event cellvaluechanged. The updaterow function of the source object is called when a cell value is changed and there you should make your server callls.

Hi Peter,

thank you. I am trying this right now. The information about the row I have in the updaterowparameters, but how can I get the information about the column? I need to identify the current cell.

Hi Ioana,

cellbeginedit is raised when your editing begins. There you can identify which cell is in edit mode.

Hi Peter,

in Chrome and Mozilla works fine, as I stated before, but in Internet Explorer after the cell value changed and the next cell (using tab key) is selected and in edit mode, the user can not edit.
The http requests are async.

Any idea on this?

Ioana

Hi Ioana,

I don’t understand your issue. tab navigates to next cell and that’s it. If the cell is in focus, the user will be able to edit it, otherwise he/she won’t be able to edit it.

Entire Grid is in edit mode.
1. first cell selected, value changed
2. tab key used to go to next cell, in order to edit it.

The second cell is selected and visually in edit mode, yet the value can not be edit. Only in Internet Explorer.

OK. If we reproduce it, we will add work item for future release. In general you can use the “focus” method to focus some HTML element.
