extJS has that functionality, which you can see in the examples on extJS website - the "showing X of Y records" in the grid's footer. however, in the CF8 implementation of extJS 1.1, this functionality has been disabled. furthermore, a bug (?) in the CF8 implementation of extJS does NOT allow one to add this functionality back in manually through the toolbar/footer classes...
while you may think that one could get the total records by calling some js function with ajaxonload() - you can't: ajaxonload fires after ajax containers on the page have loaded (as in their UI is loaded), but before they are populated with data... so no way to use the grid object's datastore's totalLength() property... the way i was able to implement an alternative to this is using cfajaxproxy, binding the grid to javascript function and reading the returned json data. the TOTALROWCOUNT element of the returned json object (mind the case - js is case-sensitive) gives you the total number of records returned. using ray camden's example - http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2007/9/4/Exporting-from-CFGRID - you can combine the above with the pagesize and page properties of the grid object to build a full "showing records X - Y of Z records" thingy... of course, that thingy will be outside of the grid... hth, and hope it is not too jumbled to understand... -- Azadi Saryev Sabai-dee.com http://www.sabai-dee.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:293104 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
