Add a checkbox column on client-side only

atwilson

Hi,

I'd like to add a checkbox column to a table that uses server-side processing. The checkbox column will allow the user to "rollback" any changes they have made to the row.

This table allows editing of user-submitted files. Because every file can be different, the columns are dynamically created on the client side, and the <thead> section is created during initialization of the table. In addition. not all users have update permission, so only certain users will see the checkbox column.

I have an implementation working that adds a "dummy" rollback column if the user has edit permissions. The issue with this is I need to override the AJAX call back to the server to remove the rollback column (and adjust the "order" column array.) I did the same with the "edit" AJAX call. This works, but the code feels pretty "hacky" with a bunch of if/else blocks.

I was wondering if anyone had suggestions of a better way to do this.
