using text with icons from database

[jmaraisParticipant]

I know that you can use the following code:
var source = [
{ html: "

jqxNumberInput

", title: 'jqxNumberInput' }, etc to get the icons displayed but I want to load them form the database.

Should I generate similar syntax in my php file and send them as a json file or is there a way that after generating the html and the title in an array, to use that in the javascript.

I have tried different options but it seems that I cannot get the right approach for it to be actually displayed.

Hi jmarais,

If a list item item in the source object defines a property called ‘html’, then the property’s value will be displayed in the item.You should use a syntax like in our sample to load the DropDownList with custom items: textwithicons.htm.

Your samples on this site with hardcoded source is very hard to understand.

To get more new jqwidget users I will suggest more samples with database connections.

I tried everything like this thread starter with no luck.
Thread starter had the text “using text with icons from database”
and the reply was with sample from harcoded source

        while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
            $notyper[] = array(
                'html' => '<b>sample html code</b>',
                'vavalue'  => $row[vavalue],
                'vatext'  => utf8_encode($row[vatext])
            );
        }

Tried this but it don’t display vatext

                $("#notype").jqxDropDownList({
                    theme: "boligdata",
                    width: '270',
                    source: notypeAdapter,
                    promptText: "Velg notistype...",
                    valueMember: 'vavalue',
                    displayMember: 'vatext'
                });

OK, I think I got it, very simple

        while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
            $notyper[] = array(
                'vavalue'  => $row[vavalue],
                'vatext'  => "<b>some html here " . utf8_encode($row[vatext]) . "</b>and here"
            );
        }

Thanks anyway
