adding button to dojo datagrid

I am trying to add a delete button to the Dojo Datagrid and I currently have the following javascript:

function createGrid() {
    gridTmp = new dojox.grid.DataGrid({
        store: jsonStore,
        structure: [ 
         开发者_开发百科   {name: "Report No", field:"inc_number"},
            {name: "Incident Date", field: "IncidentDate"},
            {name: "Report Date", field: "reportDate"},
            {name: "Location", field: "location"},
            {name: "Delete", field: "inc_number", formatter: getDelete}
        ],
        noDataMessage: 'No results returned'
    }, "grids");

    return gridTmp;
}
dojo.addOnLoad(function() {
    grid = createGrid();
    grid.startup();
});

function getDelete(item) {
   return "<button onclick=\"location.href='/report?command=delete&reportNo="
           + store.getIdentity(item) + "'\">Delete</button>";
}

Whenever I load the page I only get an empty grid with a message "sorry an error occurred." If I remove the last field with the "getDelete" formatter, the datagrid populates just fine. I am not sure what I am doing wrong so any help would be appreciated.

You made several errors in your getDelete function:

1. store is not defined, probably you meant jsonStore
2. item is not object from you store. It is property, specified by "field" (inc_number)

I think this will work for you:

function getDelete(item) {
  return "<button onclick=\"location.href='/report?command=delete&reportNo=" 
    + item + "'\">Delete</button>";
}

Try this:

var buttonFormatter = function(inValue, rowId, cellId, cellField){
    if (inValue == 'Button_1') {
    var new_button = new dijit.form.Button({ 
        label: 'Detail', showLabel: false,
        iconClass: "dijitEditorIcon dijitEditorIconInsertOrderedList",
        'class': 'gridButton'});
    new_button._destroyOnRemove = true;
    return new_button;
    }
    else if (inValue == 'Button_2') {
    var new_button = new dijit.form.Button({ 
        label: 'Detail', showLabel: false,
        iconClass: "dijitEditorIcon dijitEditorIconRemoveFormat",
        'class': 'gridButton'});
    new_button._destroyOnRemove = true;
    return new_button;
    }
    else if (inValue == 'Button_3') {
    var new_button = new dijit.form.Button({ 
        label: 'New', showLabel: false,
        iconClass: "dijitEditorIcon dijitEditorIconSelectAll",
        'class': 'gridButton'});
    new_button._destroyOnRemove = true;
    return new_button;
    }
    else return null;
};

With this structure definition:

var structureDictionary = {
            ...
            ...
    'schoolA': [[
        { name: ' ', field: 'Button_1', width: '22px', 
          styles: 'margin:0px; padding:0px; text-align: left;',
          formatter: buttonFormatter},
        { name: ' ', field: 'Button_3', width: '22px', 
          styles: 'margin:0px; padding:0px; text-align: left;',
          formatter: buttonFormatter},
        { name: 'School', field: 'school_name', width: '160px'},
        { name: 'District', field: 'district_name', width: '160px'},
        { name: 'Address', field: 'address', width: '100%'},
        { name: 'City', field: 'city', width: '120px'},
        { name: 'State', field: 'state', width: '40px'},
        { name: 'Zip', field: 'zip', width: '40px'},
        { name: 'VT', field: 'vt_account', width: '20px'}
        ]]
     }

Then:

var newStore = new dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore({url: DataURL + fragment});
// May need to force a load: newStore._forceLoad();
Grid.setStructure(structureDictionary['schoolA']);
Grid.setStore(newStore);
Grid.selection.clear();

And finally some PHP on the server: (I don't initially need all of this but it's all available when needed, this code nearly never changes.)
