Building an AJAX Application (5): The On-demand Scrollable Table
(by Mark Qian on 9/2/2006)
Introduction
Tables are most important web components, specially in data-rich applications.
Remote Scripting provides us an alternative to transfer data in a different
manner: on-demand data loading. You may want to take look at my article as an analysis
about how scrollbars of tables impact scalability.
The goal of this demostration is to show how Remote Scripting can be used to build an on-demand scrollable
table in a variety of ways using Mark's Communicator...
And here are some stuff Show details you want to try.
Issues to look into:
Prove AJAX can be turn off
- using IE6.x and go to "Tool|Internet Options...|security|internet (icon)|Custom Level;
- click at Reset if you can/want
- select "Disable" on "Run Active Controls and plug-ins" under "Active Controls and plug-ins"
- now go back to the tree page and search "using AJAX". You will can an error saying
"Automation server can't create object" meaning creating XMLHttpRequest object failed.
- then, change the "using" field to anyone other than AJAX, say "Dynamic Hidden Iframe",
it should work.
Prove Cookie approach relies on cookie on
- turn your browser Cookie off
- try the serach using "Cookie"
- then, change the "using" field to anyone other than AJAX, say "Dynamic Hidden Iframe",
it should work.
Compatibility: IE (6.x, 7.x), FireFox (1.5.0.4), Mozilla/Netscape(7.2), Opera(9.0)
were fully tested and worked in XP (v2002. sp2).
