cdae9014de Dev - build process - examples
- Updating the build process to introduce the example builder to convert
  the XML example files into HTML files. This process is performed for a
  number of reasons:

  - Much more maintainable - links automatically updated
  - Add / remove examples easier
  - Modify page styling easier
  - Examples can be directly integrated into web-site since they are
    transformed by template
  - Common data sharing

- Note that the work on the new example build process is not complete in
  this commit, there are still a few things to do! css, media paths and
  completing the templates.

4e5cad9640 Size: The default formatNumber method has been reduced in size.
- Exactly the same functionality, but now uses a regex to perform the
  same operation

a0455fa858 New: The primary public interface for DataTables' initialisation options is now camel case parameters rather than the Hungarian notation that was used before. There are a number of reasons for doing this, the primary one being that the Hungarian notation used by DataTables is actively stopping people from using the library due to their aversion to using Hungarian notation. Without doubt the Hungarian notation used was a mistake (the reason it was used was that when DataTables was originally written, the company I worked for at the time required the use of Hungarian notation, and thus I was trained in it...).
Backwards compatibility issues: The main goal here (other than to use camel-case notation!) is to preserve backwards compatibility. Unfortunately this isn't 100% possible:
	- DataTable.defaults.columns has been renamed to be DataTable.defaults.column
		- Otherwise it conflicts with aoColumns in the defaults.

Without doubt this is going to be a long process - for example the unit tests and examples need to be completely updated for this change. The JSDoc comments have been updated, so the site should take care of itself for the most part, when released.

In terms of implementation, it is important to note that I have not broken backwards compatibility here - the way it is does is that the current defaults are retained, and a camel-case to Hungarian mapping is automatically generated and then applied to the objects given by the end user. This adds around 0.5K to the size of DataTables, but writing the mapping manually would require at least 3K, and changing DataTables wholesale to camel-case would utterly break backwards compatibility. This is the least 'evil' way to accomplish this. It is important to note that this is a step along the roadmap for DataTables - come v2 Hungarian notation will likely be dropped completely.

One important note to make about this mapping is that if you use camel-case DataTables will copy the value from the camel-case properties to their Hungarian counterparts, so you will end up with additional properties on your source object. As I say, this appears to be to be the least 'evil' option, although still not perfect itself. The challenges of working with legacy software and installs...!

1d2db4d5e9 New: All examples which show Ajax requests now show the JSON response from the server (highlighted to be readiable JSON formatting) and the responses shown will update with each additional request. The idea is to make the formatting that DataTables expects / can cope with more obvious 2011-09-10 08:53:02 +01:00

fde6ba858a New: Infinite scrolling! Building on the scrolling feature set that was introduced with 1.7, you can now have DataTables do infinite scrolling (bScrollInfinite: true), where data is loaded dynamically as and when needed by the user's interaction with scrolling. Infinite scrolling can be used by all DataTables' supported data sources without modification.
New: The distance from the end of the current scrolling container before new data is added (with infinite scrolling) can be controlled with iScrollLoadGap (which is a numeric value in pixels).

New: Example (basic_init/scrolling_y_infinite.html) to show how infinite scrolling can be used.

Fixed: iDraw was not being incremented for a draw that did not use server-side processing.
