Need sample - one-to-many data array

[IVer Erling Årva]

Hi!

I am looking into making a database application and to limit the
client<->server traffic I want to handle all entry/amendment of the data in
the browser and save it all once the entry is completed. The problem is that
I need to include a dynamic table where the user can add, amend and delete
rows. For the sake of illustrating what I mean I can use the person / pet
sample where you have one person with several pets, e.g.

Person name:
Phone:
----------------------------------
Name: Type: Colour:
Pet1: [Delete]
Pet2: [Delete]
Pet3: [Delete]
[Add pet]

I need sample code to show how to handle this array (or a similar situation)
in terms of adding rows and deleting rows etc. I have tried to look for info
on this, but cannot find a decent sample anywhere...

Thanks!

I think you need to be looking at multi dimentional arrays.

Yes, I thought that might be it. I had however hoped that someone had a

ready made full fledged example with all the bells and whistles. It's so
much easier when you have some example code to look at. I am trying to get
going with a new database lanquage and find the combination of HTML,
JavaScript, SQL and the database object script (all of which are new to me)
a bit much, especially as I have to do it all by myself. So I thought that
rather than reinventing the wheel etc...

You probably want an array of objects. JavaScript is particularly nice for those
sorts of structures. Look at the examples at www.JSON.org. Also Check out
