Customize sortable datatable (css, html attributes and sort)

[ns_wicket <ni...@novacom-services.com>]

Hello,

I am testing Wicket possibilities in order to launch the development of a
new application.

I wanted to display a sortable datatable, so I read this:
http://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/simple-sortable-datatable-example.html

It works fine but I have few questions:

-1. This example is up to date?

0. Is it the best solution?

1. I read the html generated source code and I write css classes: headers,
wicket_orderUp, even, odd, etc. Is it possible to put my own css class
names? For example, can I put a different class for the first header column
only?

2. I notice that the sort is working fine but can I customize it? For
example, I do not want to sort date by alphabetic order.

3. Is it possible to i18n the navigator label ("Showing 1 to 5 of 15")?

4. Is it possible to fix the witdh of each column? Just nowrap! Where I put
the "new SimpleAttributeModifier("nowrap", "nowrap")"? lol


Thank you for reading

Thank you very much for some future answers

Have a good day

Nico

You should just try things out in practice to see how they
go. You can customise a lot of things in a DataTable, but 
for heavy customisation I've found components that are more
bare-bone (DataView for example) easier. This is because 
DataTable uses a lot of other components inside it, and the
more of them you need to customise or replace entirely, the
more cluttered it becomes.

You can anyway use DataTable as a reference on how to 
achieve different things, as it has so much built-in 
functionality.

Best wishes,
Timo
