x-editable with Bootstrap 4 table and jquery-CodePudding

I'm trying to implement xeditable ([xeditable1) with a Bootstrap 4 table. I am trying to emulate this snippet (https://bbbootstrap.com/snippets/edit-forms-inline-using-x-editable-editor-11973728) with no luck. Here is what I have in my index.php file:

 <th data-field="macAddr_id" data-sortable="true" data-filter-control="input" data-editable="true">Mac Address</th>

........................

<?php
   while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {  ?>
   <tr>
     <td> <a href="#" id="macAddr" data-type="text" data-pk="1" class="editable editable-click editable-empty" data-abc="true"><?php echo $row["macAddr_id"]; ?></a> </div>
   </tr>

The table is displayed fine. In my index.js (which I include in my index.php file),I have:

$('#macAddr').editable({
    mode: 'inline',
    type: 'text',
    name: 'macAddr',
    pk: 1
});

But editing does not work. When I single-click or double-click, I get nothing.

I have tried multiple versions of x-editable, including:

https://github.com/Talv/x-editable

https://vitalets.github.io/x-editable/index.html (jquery version)

Neither works. Is there something I am missing? Or a better plugin to use?

CodePudding user response：

As your a tags is inside while loop so same id will get assign to each a tag . Instead change that to . Then , use each loop to iterate and initialize editable plugin to each a tags with .

Demo Code :

$(function() {
  $('#table').bootstrapTable()
  $.fn.editable.defaults.mode = 'inline';
  $.fn.editableform.buttons =
    '<button type="submit" >'  
    '<i ></i>'  
    '</button>'  
    '<button type="button" >'  
    '<i ></i>'  
    '</button>';
  //loop through each a tags
  $(".macAddr").each(function() {
    //intialize..
    $(this).editable({
      mode: 'inline',
      type: 'text',
    });
  })
})
