is it possible to run a paging routine using javascript or ajax? I've experimented with php with success to a certain degree, but I would like to know if there's an AJAX routine out there to do the same job. All answers gratefully recieved. many thanks
A possible reason could be to limit load and traffic on server. Although that way is bad for SEO purposes. -- And yes, it's possible, but you must write it by yourself. You need to add links for each page. That links will call a javascript function where you put only the content for that page (and the links for remaining pages of course) .
Using JavaScript like this is very bad for SEO and also it breaks the browser's back & refresh buttons.
You can take a look at Rico library. Instead of paging you can do "scrolling" for a better user experience. There is a demo here: http://openrico.org/rico/livegrid.page, and comes with an excellent tutorial.
