Updating from 1.x

If you are using jQuery Calx 1.x and want to update to 2.x, here is some points you need to take care of.

Replace id with data-cell for cell addressing

jQuery Calx 2.x use data-cell attribute to set the cell-address, since there are possibility of two or more same cell-address in single page

<!-- previous -->
<input id="A1" />

<!-- current -->
<input data-cell="A1" />

No more $ sign in formula

In jQuery Calx 1.x, we use $A1 to get the value of cell with address A1, in 2.x we completely remove the $ sign and use the cell address directly to access it’s value

<!-- previous -->
<input data-formula="SUM($A1,$B10)" />
<input data-formua="$D8-$D5" />

<!-- current -->
<input data-formula="SUM(A1:B10)" />
<input data-formula="D8-D5" />
