I have been using Exhibit for a little over a year. The largest data set I currently use contains a few more that 7000 records. I use primarily the timeline, timeplot, chart and tabular views.
Relative to IE, I have taken to using Google Chrome Frame to deliver Exhibit to IE6/7/8 users. Doing so mitigates almost all the rendering issues and pretty much eliminates the 'slow responding script' alerts. In most cases, GCF has been the only way to get data to IE users. It is a plug in that is pre-beta, but I have had zero problems with it. Nice thing is, once installed, it only loads if there is an entry in the header of the delivered page, so other pages don't even bother to notice it is there. Additionally, from the developers point of view, the plug in includes the developer tools, so IE can be used to trouble-shoot pages. It is almost, but not quite as nice as fire-foxes development tools. Other browsers simply ignore the header call, so it has no impact on FF, Safari, Opera, etc... that I have seen. wjw On Jun 3, 9:58 am, jayveesea <[email protected]> wrote: > first... the SIMILE widgets look very well done and are a great > resource! > > i am curious on how large a dataset the Exhibit database can be > expected to handle. > > i imagine the browser is factor, is there a recommended browser? > > thanks, > j -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SIMILE Widgets" group.
