Hey guys, I’m trying to progressively enhance a 40000 row HTML table to a YUI DataTable and my client has specifically requested NO paging links or weird infinite scrolling behavior.

Just kidding.

I’ve been reviewing the equivalent components from all the other JS libraries (Ext, jQuery, Dojo, etc), and I thought I’d drop by to say: Great work. I really like the markup that this component gives back. If you go into some of those other guy’s markup, you’ll see some pretty strange decisions! For example, both Ext and Dojo have a table for EVERY row in their Grid’s. Weird right?

Anyway, good work here.

Datatable is great component.

But I am stuck with following issue where I need to pull data from nested xml elements.

Each Row represent the Parent Company.
I would like to display Parent Company name and
its all chidren company names in one cell

ResultNode:Company
Fields: [ name ( I dont know how to configure the nested child-companies here )]

sample – xml

Parent one
1

Child one
ch1

Child Two
ch2

Parent Two
2

…..

I try 2.5.1. That is great work. Thanks

The performance for large data is much fast than 2.4. But when I use renderLoopSize and scrollable, it is much slow.

@Tao –

Yep, we’re aware of that, and we’ll address it in 2.5.1. Sorry for the inconvenience. Overall, though, keep in mind that 2.5.0 is much faster (outside of the addRow issue) — and we’ll keep working to optimize performance even further.

Regards,
Eric

Good work, YUI team. The only concern for me is performance. It’s much slower than 2.4.x See YUI group discussion –

Great work guys, other than some css changes, it was an easy upgrade for us. Thanks.
