[jQuery] Re: Proof of concept: Animated data grid/table jquery plugin with sorting and pagination and somewhat lightweight
Back to Alexandre's first point, I just put up another version 0.2 on: http://www.overset.com/2008/08/30/animated-sortable-datagrid-jquery-plugin-jtps/ which is still very alpha. I worked very hard on trying to use table-layout:fixed so that this plugin could still have the appearance of a data grid with animation yet still use tables and work in the browsers. This allows for a table to follow the browser's automatic layout while loading, then when this plugin is applied to the table the natural sizing of the cell width is retained and each row has the same height. This doesn't follow the GMAIL-ish convention of overflow:hidden. All the text is shown in the cell. I added stub cells at the end so that the animation doesn't shrink on scrolling to the last page which just looked bad. Thus far I've tested on FF3, IE7, IE6.0.2800, SafariWin 3.1.1, ChromeWin On Sep 2, 9:16 am, Jim Palmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Alexandre, 1) Great point - I'm going to mess around with having more fixed dimensions.

I'll obviously need to sample this on slower machines against all the browsers to guage the speed.

[jQuery] Re: Proof of concept: Animated data grid/table jquery plugin with sorting and pagination and somewhat lightweight
Guy,
It appears that the natural sort works with unicode characters - at least in
FF3. This is due to the fact that it uses the browser's built in comparison
operators ( and ) on strings - even unicode characters. Other sorts I've
seen rely on translating blocks of strings with solely [:[alpha]:] or a
/[\D]{1,}/. I'll put a better test case together on my site so you can see
the unicode sorting and I'll test other browsers, but I would imagine they
would work the same considering this uses the built in comparisons. The
catch will be ensuring this sorts appropriately on mixed unicode and numeric
digit fields.
I just tested with the appending to the beginning of some cell's text some
arabic characters in the 600 block, i.e. '\u0631', '\u0632', etc.
I'll let you know when the test case is done!
Thanks for the input!

I just updated my live demo on:
http://www.overset.com/2008/08/30/animated-sortable-datagrid-jquery-plugin-jtps/
.. to set the first column to the first 43 scripts in the ARABIC 0600
Unicode block. It appears that the sort works even on unicode+ascii strings
in FF3 and IE7. I'll do some more work on testing this.
Thanks again for the input!

Faizal, Just plopped the current 0.1 version of the jQuery plugin code on my http://www.overset.com/2008/08/30/animated-sortable-datagrid-jquery-plugin-jtps/post. I stress this is still very ALPHA and I'm going to be changing it a lot in the very near term. But have at it if you want to use it now or tear it apart. I included the jTPS.css which is also required for this to work. There are a couple background graphic assets which can be pulled from http://www.overset.com/upload/jTPS/ as you need them. Again, this is still very ALPHA and I'll be working very soon to get this as cleanly packaged as possible. Please do let me know if you find anything wrong with it!
