jTable API Reference

jTable is used to develop AJAX-based CRUD (Create/Retrieve/Update/Delete) tables without coding HTML and JavaScript. The only required HTML tag is a simple div element in your page:

<div id="MyTableContainer"></div>

To initialize a jTable instance, you can call the jtable method in the ready event of the document:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {        	
       $('#MyTableContainer').jtable({
            
            // General options come here

            actions: {
                // Action definitions come here
            },
            fields: {
                // Field definitions come here
            }

            // Event handlers...
        });		
    });
</script>

jTable has three types of options:

  1. General options: Define the general behavior of the jTable instance.
  2. Actions: Define how to communicate from the client to the server.
  3. Fields: Define the structure of the record, create/edit forms, and table. A row in the table is called a "record," which must have fields like a relational database table.

NOTE: When you create a jTable instance, a table is created, but no data is loaded into the table. Use the load method to load data. See the Getting Started document for detailed usage.
