WONestedList
Synopsis
WONestedList { list=anObjectList; item=anIteratedObject; value=displayedValue; sublist = aSubarray; action=aMethod; selection=selectedValue; [index=aCurrentIndex;] [level=aCurrentLevel;] [isOrdered=YES|NO;] [prefix=prefixString;] [suffix=suffixString;] ... };
Description
WONestedList recursively displays a hierarchical, ordered (numbered) or unordered (bulleted) list of hyperlinks. This element is useful when you want to display hierarchical lists. When the user clicks one of the objects in the list, it is returned in selection and the action method is invoked.At any point during iteration of the list, the method specified by the sublist attribute returns the current list's sublist (if any), level specifies the current nesting level (where the topmost level is zero), index gives index of the current item within that nesting level (item returns the actual item), and isOrdered specifies whether the current sublist should be a numbered list or a bulleted list.
- list
- Hierarchical array of objects that the WONestedList will iterate through.
- item
- Current item in the list array. (This attribute's value is updated with each iteration.)
- value
- String to display as a hyperlink for the current item.
- sublist
- Method that returns the sublist of the current item or nil if the current item is a leaf.
- action
- Action method to invoke when the element is activated. This method must return a WOElement.
- selection
- When the page is submitted, selection contains the item that the user clicked.
- index
- Index of the current iteration of the WONestedList. The index is unique to each level-that is, it starts at 0 for each sublist.
- level
- Nesting level of the current iteration of the WONestedList. The topmost level is level 0.
- isOrdered
- If isOrdered evaluates to YES, the current sublist is rendered as an ordered list. The default is to render as an unordered list.
- prefix
- An arbitrary HTML string inserted before each value.
- suffix
- An arbitrary HTML string inserted after each value.
