Why slow down the user with animation? Input is blocked until the sort is complete. Personally, I find the animation annoying. I have a relatively fast computer, but it still comes out rather jerky due to the large number of elements. It took several tries before I could even notice what the animation was trying to do. Don't bother with animation. Focus on usability.
There are several sortable table scripts out there. A decent one is at http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/ TAG On Nov 1, 2006, at 6:25 AM, Keith wrote: > > Hey Guys (and Gals) > > Long time lurker, first time poster! > > New to Scriptaculous/Prototype but already have the basics under my > belt. > I'm ok with dragging divs, etc, but there's one thing I'd love to > be able to > do in Scriptaculous that I can do in <dare I mention it on this list> > Backbase. > > http://www.backbase.com/demos/travel/ , if you click on a table > header, the > list gets sorted and there *must* be a way of doing this animated > effect in > Scriptaculous? > > Any pointers greatly appreciated. > > Keith. > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
