Hi,

I am using DataTable (YUI3) in my project and i wanted to make the contents of one of the columns as a hyperlink that opens a Rich Text Area. Can anyone please tell me as to how this can be done?

YUI().use("datatable-sort","datatable-scroll", function(Y) {
var cols = [
{key:"FirstName", label:"FirstName", sortable:true},
{key:"LastName",label:"LastName"},
{key:"Company", label:"Company", sortable:true},
{key:"Telephone", label:"Telephone"},
{key:"Address", label:"Address"},
{key:"Expertise", label:"Expertise"}
})

If i had to make the lastname column to be hyperlinked what is to be done?

Thanks in advance

Hey Juan,

Thank you for the reply!!! It worked like a charm.

I am having a problem with the rich text editor now. I am using the following to render a RTE :
YUI().use('yui2-editor', function(Y) {
var myEditor = new Y.YUI2.widget.Editor('editor', {
height: '400px',
width: '600px',
dompath: true, //Turns on the bar at the bottom
animate: true //Animates the opening, closing and moving of Editor windows
});
myEditor.render();

});
I have placed this in between <div> tags with the id as editor.
What i want to attempt is to open this RTE when the link on the datatable is clicked. As you suggested i tried to do this by providing the div id in <a href> of the datatable. The problem with this is that the RTE is on the screen while the datatable spills out of the screen. I tried to set the visibility as false and load it but, it still does not help. Any suggestions as to how this can be done? I would like the RTE to splash on the screen (preferably like an alert).

Thanks again!!!

Hi Juan,

Thanks again for the reply. I am still facing some issues with the rendering of the RTE. If possible can you please point me to a working example that you know of?

Hi Juan,

I tried everything with the code that you had posted except for the way you had posted it. I put <div> tags and played around a lot only to find it not work. Now, it is working. Thanks a ton sir!!!
