dynamic tables

Client side dynamic updating of a page can be achieved in various ways on a PC (e.g. document.write). However, the only dynamic mechanism in the liberate browser is the liberate extension of dynamic tables.

Dynamic Tables Provide the following features:

  • Ability to read and write content (images & text) to table cells
  • Allow a table cell to have focus
  • Provides events for focusable table cells (onblur, onfocus, onclick & onnavigate)
  • Allows Table cells to have background images

It is NOT possible to write HTML into a table cell.

Hints & Tips

  • Using Dynamic tables, you can maximise use of space for text/images, and increase the amount of content which can be displayed per page.
  • Replace a background image with a background colour using the "background" property
  • HREF links do not work within a focusable cell

Also Liberate's CDK contains further detail for developers on dynamic tables, including full HTML and Javascript references. See the "downloads" section.
