NAME

       Embperl::Form::Control::table - A table which get data from array of arrays or array of
       hashs

SYNOPSIS

         {
         type => 'table',
         text => 'blabla',
         columns => [['foo', 'Foo item'], 'bar'],
         }

DESCRIPTION

       Used as a base class to create an table control inside an Embperl Form.  See Embperl::Form
       on how to specify parameters.  In most cases you need to overwrite this class and call the
       method show_table. show_table takes an arrayref of hashrefs or arrayref of arrays as
       parameter which is used as data to display.  In case you have this data directly in %fdat
       you can use this control directly.

   PARAMETER
       type

       Needs to be 'table'

       text

       Will be used as label for the control

       columns

       Arraryref which contains an arrayrefs with definition of columns names.  Allows you to
       specify multiple rows per data entry. Column definition is either the key name in the data
       hashref or an arrayref with the name in the hash ref and the text to display as heading.
       Example:

           [
            [['email', 'E-Mail Address'], ['phone', 'Phone']],
            [['foo', 'Foo'], ['bar', 'Bar']],
           ]

       email and phone will be display on the first line with headings 'E-Mail Address' and
       'Phone' and foo and bar will be displayed on the second line for each entry.  In case your
       data is an array of arrays you have to specify the array index instead of the hash key
       name.

       It is possible to add additional information. One entry might contain the following
       entries:

       0   Key for into data hashref

       1   Text to display

       2   Colspan (how many columns this cell should span)

       3   If set a control is displayed instead of a text. Must contain:

           radio,<name>,<value> or checkbox,<name>,<value>

       4   Display as link. This item contains the name of the key in the data hashref that holds
           the href.

       5   target for link

       6   Name of filter function. The value of the cell is process through this filter.  Filter
           functions are passed as hashref of subs in the parameter 'filters' .

       line2

       Arrayref with names of which the values should concated and displayed below each entry.

       filters

       Hashref of coderefs which contains filter functions. The following example shows one
       filter called 'date' which passes the data through the perl function format_date. The
       value is passed as first argument to the filter function. The second argument is the
       column description (see above), the third argument is the row data and the last argument
       is the current Embperl request record.

         filters =>
               {
               'date' => sub
                   {
                   return format_date ($_[0]) ;
                   }
               }
