Move Table Row Up / Down

I have been working with these two scripts in a couple of my documents. I can't remember where I got them but here they are. They use the click event.

This first one moves the table row or in my case a subform up 1. If you want to work with table rows just change every occurance of the name AccountSF to the name of the table row.

if(AccountSF.index != 0)
{
var nIndexFrom = AccountSF.index;
var nIndexTo = AccountSF.index - 1;
AccountSF.instanceManager.moveInstance(nIndexFrom, nIndexTo);
xfa.form.recalculate(1);
}

This one moves the subform down 1.

var nIndex = AccountSF.index;
if((nIndex + 1) < AccountSF.instanceManager.count)
{
var nIndexFrom = nIndex;
var nIndexTo = nIndex + 1;
AccountSF.instanceManager.moveInstance(nIndexFrom, nIndexTo);
xfa.form.recalculate(1);
}

For these scripts to work the buttons they are attached to need to reside in the subform or row they are intending on moveing up and down.

So this started to work but still isn't functioning the way I would like. Pardon for my denseness when it comes to scripting, maybe some more information would help to solve my problems.

Initially all my rows are names Row1, Row2.... When I use the script posted above and change the 'AccountSF' to my Row names, nothing happens.

I thought maybe the uniqueness of each name was poising the problem so I removed all the numbers from the Row names which means they became Row[0], Row[1]...

When I do this the down button for the first row works(ish) It moves down one row but if I push it again it moves the second row (now the first row) down and just those two continue to switch back and forth.

Any ideas?

Oo this is a tricky one. The script I posted assumes that you have a table that is built with one row to start off with then more rows are added so end up having multiple instances of that one row (Row1[0], Row1[1], Row[2] etc.)

I usually maintain one table row then specify as many initial rows to start off with as I want in the Row1 Object > Binding tab > Repeat Row for Each Data Item. You can set a Minimum count and a Maximum count and an Initial count.Because most of the time I am using tables in a dynamic fashion I don't usualy design fixed tables that have data in the cells allready. A good example of a dynamic use of a table in a form is the sample dynamic interactive Purchase Order form that comes with LiveCycle Designer.

The sample file I mention doesn't do any of the table row moving like what we are talking about so I wish I could post an example here of how I do this.

Thanks a ton!! that second post really helped. I didn't even think to use the initial count that way but it does make a lot more sense. increasing the initial count to the number of rows I want means everything works now and my add and delete rows still work.

Fantastic!

I wish there was a way to easily post screen captures and samples.
