Control YUI DataTable Record IDs

Question

I have a DataTable in YUI and I want to have the record ID be from my data instead of yui-rec1 ...

How do I do that?

Answer 1

I think you can use

dataTAble.getRecord method

YAHOO.widget.Record getRecord ( row )

For the given identifier, returns the associated Record instance.
Parameters:
row <HTMLElement | Number | String> DOM reference to a TR element (or child of a TR element), RecordSet position index, or Record ID.
Returns: YAHOO.widget.Record
Record instance.

Or you need something else?

Answer 2

It is a private property called _sId which store record id. It follows this pattern

this._sId = "yui-rec" + this._nCount;

Sorry but recordSet API does not allow you to modify record id.
