HTML 5 <datagrid> Tag

Print Version

The HTML <datagrid> tag is used for specifying a datagrid.

A datagrid represents an interactive representation of tree, list, or tabular data. The data being presented can come from one of the following:

  • Its own content (as elements given as children of the datagrid element). The <datagrid> element can contain other HTML elements. These elements are its children. The contents of its children is the data that is being presented.
  • From a scripted data provider given by the data DOM attribute.

The <datagrid> tag was introduced in HTML 5.

Data Model Structure

In a datagrid, data is structured as a set of rows representing a tree, each row being split into a number of columns.

Each row can have child rows. Child rows may be hidden or shown, by closing or opening (respectively) the parent row.

Each column can have a caption (which are not considered rows in their own right).

Rows are referred to by zero-based indices - meaning item positions are counted as 0,1,2,3... etc, (NOT as 1,2,3,4... etc).

Example

In this example, the datagrid's content is an ordered list. Because <datagrid> uses zero-based indices, the first row is row 0 and the next row is row 1. Row 1 has a child, which is referred to as row 1,0.

Note: At the time of writing, the <datagrid> element has limited (if any) browser support. This example is based on the W3C HTML 5 Working Draft, and is solely to demonstrate the context of this tag.

Attributes

HTML tags can contain one or more attributes. Attributes are added to a tag to provide the browser with more information about how the tag should appear or behave. Attributes consist of a name and a value separated by an equals (=) sign, with the value surrounded by double quotes. Here's an example, style="color:black;".

There are 3 kinds of attributes that you can add to your HTML tags: Element-specific, global, and event handler content attributes.

The attributes that you can add to this tag are listed below.

Element-Specific Attributes

The following table shows the attributes that are specific to this tag/element.

AttributeDescription
disabledSpecifies if the datagrid is disabled or not.

This is a boolean attribute. If the attribute is present, its value must either be the empty string or a value that is an ASCII case-insensitive match for the attribute's canonical name, with no leading or trailing whitespace (i.e. either disabled or disabled="disabled").

Possible values:

  • [Empty string]
  • disabled
multipleIndicates whether the user can select multiple rows at once.

This is a boolean attribute. If the attribute is present, its value must either be the empty string or a value that is an ASCII case-insensitive match for the attribute's canonical name, with no leading or trailing whitespace (i.e. either multiple or multiple="multiple").

Possible values:

  • [Empty string]
  • multiple

Global Attributes

The following attributes are standard across all HTML 5 tags.

class id style
contenteditable irrelevant tabindex
contextmenu lang template
dir ref title
draggable registrationmark  

For a full explanation of these attributes, see HTML 5 global attributes.

Event Handler Content Attributes

Event handler content attributes enable you to invoke a script from within your HTML. The script is invoked when a certain "event" occurs. Each event handler content attribute deals with a different event.

Here are the standard HTML 5 event handler content attributes.

onabort ondragover onmousemove
onbeforeunload ondragstart onmouseout
onblur ondrop onmouseover
onchange onerror onmouseup
onclick onfocus onmousewheel
oncontextmenu onkeydown onresize
ondblclick onkeypress onscroll
ondrag onkeyup onselect
ondragend onload onstorage
ondragenter onmessage onsubmit
ondragleave onmousedown onunload

For a full explanation of these attributes, see HTML 5 event handler content attributes.
