AJAX! Yeah, I can't say it enough today, I guess, but it really is pretty cool. JavaScript, that is. This is a perfect place for it too... much like the livegrid. See, how the live grid works is it grabs whatever records are in the viewport, plus some above and below, then you can scroll around and load data as you need it, vs. populating the whole list. Similar concept for this problem would be pretty easy. Load up a doc, and a couple above and below, using JS or whatever you'd like, and that way it will appear that all the docs are open, when really only the "near" ones are. And since you're loading data in the background, maybe with a little "loading" marker, it really gives that seamless impression. If they're all PDF the idea of concatting them is pretty good too, potentially (Depending on sizes and server hardware/memory, etc.). Eh, more ideas at least. :d ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:242179 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
