Add an extra div below each table row using JQuery
I have an MVC 4 application where one of my views looks something like this:
and the corresponding code for this view:
<tbody>
@foreach (var item in Model)
{
<tr id="document-row-@item.DocumentId">
<td>
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.DocumentName)
<div id="document-detail-contentsREVW">
</div>
</td>
<td>
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.CreatedDate)
<div class="pull-right">
@Ajax.ActionLink("Details", "DocumentDetail", "Documents", new { Area = "SmartDocs", id = item.DocumentId.ToString() , currentStatus = item.CurrentStatus.ToString()}, new AjaxOptions
{
InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
HttpMethod = "GET",
LoadingElementId = "ajax-loader",
UpdateTargetId = "document-detail-contentsREVW",
}, new { @class = "details-link" })
</div>
</td>
</tr>
}
Now when I click on the Details link, one controller action method is called and the details for that record are only shown below the first row in a tabular format inside document-detail-contentsREVW as used in my opinion and can be thought of as:
which is the details for the first entry. Once again, if I click on the details for the third or any other entry, the position for showing the detail is the same as shown in the following image:
Here I want the details to appear just below the specific post for which the link was clicked. The functionality works fine. Also on clicking the details I can toggle (hide / unhide) the details of the div.
I feel like the position for using my div inside the tr is wrong and hence every time the same place is updated when verbosely clicked.
I have searched this a lot and even found many scripts to achieve this. For example: http://jsfiddle.net/ME3kG/30/ (I want something like this)
But here the details are pre-recorded and used at the click of an icon. But in my case, I will get the details dynamically after clicking the details link for this entry. I think I understand my requirement. So can this be done with jquery or how can I achieve this? .. Thanks in advance.
Below is my script:
$(function () {
$('.details-link').on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).closest('tr').find('.document-details').toggle();
$(this).text(function (i, v) {
return v === 'Details' ? 'Hide' : 'Details';
});
});
});

The problem is that you gave all of your elements the same ID. Besides invalid html, the method @Ajax.ActionLink()
updates the first element with id=document-detail-contentsREVW
(not necessarily on the appropriate line). You need to create a unique identifier in a loop. If your model IList
then you can use (for example)
@for (int i = 0; i < Model.Count; i++)
{
var id = string.Format("document-detail-{0}", i);
<tr id="document-row-@item.DocumentId">
@Html.DisplayFor(m => m[i].DocumentName)
<div id=@id></div> // id will be "document-detail-0", "document-detail-1" etc
....
@Ajax.ActionLink("Details",.....
{
....
UpdateTargetId = @id,
If you are simulating IEnumerable
, declare the counter before the loop and increment the counter in the statementforeach
@{int i = 0;} // declare counter
@foreach (var item in Model)
{
var id = string.Format("document-detail-{0}", i++);
<tr id="document-row-@item.DocumentId">
@Html.DisplayFor(m => item.DocumentName) // same as before
<div id=@id></div>
....
@Ajax.ActionLink("Details",.....
....
UpdateTargetId = @id,
