jEasyUI creates property grid
The property grid comes with a built-in expand/collapse button to easily group rows. You can simply create a hierarchical list of editable properties.
Set HTML
<table id="tt" class="easyui-propertygrid" style="width:300px" url="propertygrid_data.json" showGroup="true" scrollbarSize="0" ></table>
Prepare json data
[ {"name":"Name","value":"Bill Smith","group":"ID Settings","editor":"text"}, {"name":"Address","value":"","group":"ID Settings","editor":"text"}, {"name":"Age","value":"40","group":"ID Settings","editor":"numberbox"}, {"name":"Birthday","value":"01/02/2012","group":"ID Settings","editor":"datebox"}, {"name":"SSN","value":"123-456-7890","group":"ID Settings","editor":"text"}, {"name":"Email","value":"bill@gmail.com","group":"Marketing Settings","editor":{ "type":"validatebox", "options":{ "validType":"email" } }}, {"name":"FrequentBuyer","value":"false","group":"Marketing Settings","editor":{ "type":"checkbox", "options":{ "on":true, "off":false } }} ]
As you can see, the creation of the property grid does not require any javascript code . You can simply extend the editor type by extending it.
