Accessing Hidden Child Row Data + Responsive Data Table (Gravity View)

cian_rice

Hi all,

I'm using Gravity View (a wordpress plugin) and using the DataTables extension for it to display form entries in a pretty manner. However, I've ran into an issue.

My site (which is not publicly available currently - though this specific issue will never be available to non admin users), needs to be able to access the content of table cells that are by default hidden. Basically, the user will press a button and that will populate a field with data that is by default hidden. I DO NOT want the user to have to reveal the information to fill in the field if they do not want to. As in, press a button that reveals the hidden fields. I just want to access the data.

I have no idea how to retrieve data which appears to be dynamically added/removed from the HTML (correct me if wrong, please!). GravityView's support said I'd be best off asking here. They also mentioned that I could use this: http://datatables.net/extensions/responsive/reference/option/responsive.details.renderer

But I'm not sure how this particular function helps me.

So to sum up / TL;DR

Want to access data that is hidden by default in the responsive form, what is the best way to do this with Javascript?

Thanks,
Cian

Why not use a variable where you save the relevant data in from that field?

Unfortunately, no. Not to the best of my knowledge.

The data is fed in from a form software (Gravity Forms) and is store in the database, I'm then writing javascript to access the data from the HTML view of said data using the DataTables extension for the GravityView plugin for Wordpress.

It seems like http://datatables.net/reference/api/row().child()#Examples this might help, just need to test it out?
