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. > Nothing is fixed vertically and I want to toy around with text wrapping in > an individual cell and see how that affects sizing and animation. > > 2) In the current iteration It seems 500 is the breaking point.
