Update on View Updates

jquery, table sorting, column reordering, in table edit, validation
and also multi column sorting, multi column search across tables, pagination etc.


I can see that bandwidth is a problem in certain locales.
Even on DSL, I encounter that I suddenly have to wait for Amazon pages (being multi-MB), so this is a very valid issue.

On the other hand, Jquery greatly improves the user experience.
If by default jquery is not transmitted, the table simply falls back to the standard table at low bandwidth.


In web2project, I am currently adding table sorting, hiding columns, storing preferences in cookies, providing 'in table' edit, edit verification, search against multiple table columns, just to name a few, using datatables and an independent but related edit and verification plugin.

This comes on top of the standard website. On low bandwidth just don't transfer jquery and plugins, and the site falls back to what you have now. With jquery, enhanced user experience. Put the decision into a system setting, and the user can decide.

No extra code is necessary but adding thead, /thead, tbody and /tbody to the tables. So no impact on readability.
In addition, add the plugins and set their cnfiguration parameters.
Even 'in table' edit (for user experience compare e.g. recent phpmyadmin) is only a line to tell which script to send to.

The user could use a system parameter to indicate whether jquery should be loaded. Default could even be set to no to keep standard bandwidth as low as it is now.

if you are interested, I could do that for BOM's, for example (our line of interest).

If you add a system setting disabling jquery by default, nobody would loose anything. (no extra bandwidth).

But if a users decides to use jquery, the above mentioned functionality would be there.
I think the overhead by the thead's and tbody's is negligible.

The extra work makes only sense for me if there is at least a chance to get it into the current code. If it is a clear no from the beginning,
no problem.
