How do I dynamically update a dataTable?

Part of my page is a client table that also allows me to insert values into it.

 

How do I insert values and have the table dynamically updated?

 

Code:

    public List<Client__c> clientList {get; set;}
    public Client__c client {get; set;}

 

public void updateClientList(){
        if(clientList == null)
        {
            clientList = new List<Client__c>();
        }
        
        clientList = [SELECT Name, Professional_PracticeID__c, Client_Name__c, StartDate__c, EndDate__c, Pro_Bono__c,  
                      Description__c FROM Client__c WHERE Professional_PracticeID__c=:ProfPracticeID];
        if(client != null){
            clientList.add(client);
        }
        
    }

                </apex:dataTable>

This is what I have, and have no clue why it doesn't work. The button doesn't do anything when clicked.

 

Thanks,

Sanjeev,

 

I don't see where you're doing your Insert. If you really wanted the newly entered "client" to get into the database, I think you'd want to do that rather than simply adding it to the end of the list clientList. Other than that issue, the rerender may have an issue with scoping possibly. I would try moving it outside the pageblock and before the output panel for clientDataPanel and see if it works any better.

Ram,

 

    I'm trying to temorarily save all the values they enter in so that when they finally click a "Save and Review" button on the page (and after other fields have been filled out), all the items in the clientList will be commited to the database.

 

Thanks,

Sanjeev

ok - got it. Did you try moving the Command button (or link) and did it make any difference to the rerender? If you're getting stuck on it, one quick fix is to rerender the whole page by returning a page reference of null from your action method. You would need to change the signature of the method though obviously.
