Wt

Hi,

I would like to know how WTable handles a deleteRow.

I need to make architecture decisions in my application, knowing what is happening behind the curtains will possibly contribute to better decisions, especially concerning UI responsiveness and scalability.

In a proof-of-concept for a widget, I have:

-a WTable with a around 100 rows, all visible.

-During user interaction I bypass Wt and access the DOM with custom JS to change cell contents (I know, I shouldn't do this and I won't release it like this)

-I then delete the first row of the table using WTable::deleteRow

-All my direct changes to the DOM disappear and the cell contents return to what was originally set using Wt.

What I would like to know is how Wt is able to restore the cell to it's original contents. Where is it getting the data from?

Is it getting it from the server-side C object?

Is it getting it from a client-side JS object (with data synchronized with the C object)?

(In other words, what I want to know is if after deleting the 1st row from the table the toolkit fetches all remaining rows from the server.)

If you are able to reply, it will save me a couple of hours looking at the code and trying to understand by myself.

Thank you!

Jorge
