Re^4: CGI table problems

[rashley]

Actually, the problem is within renderPartReadView.

It creates a verticle list of label/value pairs, which is fine.

The problem is when the value is a list, it puts the values side by side, and I want them stacked.

I see no problem for the same argument to apply (replace the td-content with a table of rows of one td each):

$data .= $cgi->td({-valign=>'top'},
                  $cgi->table( map{ $cgi->Tr($cgi->td($_) ) } @{render
+PartReadView($cgi, $lca_dbm, $am)} );

I finally got this to work just the way I wanted. I checked the result to see if it was an array ref, then formed a sub-table if it was:

#massage multi-values for formatting                             
if ( ref $encodedvalue eq 'ARRAY' )                              
{                                                                
                                                                
    my $listtable .= $cgi->start_table({-border=>0});           
                                                                
    for ( my $i=0; $i<scalar( @$encodedvalue) ; $i++ )          
    {                                                           
        $listtable .= $cgi->Tr({},                             
                    $cgi->th(@$encodedvalue[$i])            
                    );                                      
                                                               
    }                                                           
                                                                
    $listtable .= $cgi->end_table();                            
                                                                
    $data .= Tr({},                                             
                $cgi->td({-class=>'label'},                      
                         $attrHash->{ATTRNAME}),                 
                $cgi->td({-class=>'value'},                      
                         ($listtable || $cgi->p('&nbsp;'))));    
                                                                
}                                                                
                                                                
                                                                 
else {                                                           
    $data .= Tr({},
