Popup Window help

[musclecarlover07Participant]

First of all I am completely new to all of this. I have been self teaching myself over the last few months. So bear with me.

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 12, so I hope that isn’t a problem.

I have a template that uses the table I have connected to. My problem is One of my fields has a lot of data and cause it to make the row bigger then I want. I just want to have that column to show a few words then hide the rest of the data. Then when I want to click on a link in that specific box and then a pop up box opens up displaying the full text. Also giving me the ability to edit the text. I tried to use example found at: http://www.jqwidgets.com/community/topic/how-to-populate-modal-popup-window-dynamically/ but that sort of helped. That is almost what I am looking for. The only difference is instead of and edit button as its own column I want to incorporate that into the actual column. I hope this is clear.

Hi musclecarlover07,

While that was some help. I am still lost. One I am not able to open the link on my computer. I can open it open it on my phone. Which doesn’t help to much.

I understand a little of it an what it is saying and trying to do. I don’t understand why the different var are there. Example first name and last name. Then it only lists a select few of the names.

Then this is the code that will perform the popup box with the value from the field that is selected:

$("#window").jqxWindow({autoOpen: false, theme: 'energyblue'});
$('#table').on('rowClick', function (event) {
    var args = event.args;
    var row = args.row;
    var column = args.dataField;
    if (column === "productname")
    {
        var value = row.productname;
        $("#window").jqxWindow({content: value});
        $("#window").jqxWindow('open');
    
    }

But for the rest I am not understanding its purpose.
