- 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.
- Cope with the change in jQuery 1.9 for element ordering. From the
DataTables thread on this topic ( 14316 ):
So a bit of further investigation into this - I've used these two test
caseS:
No DataTables: http://live.datatables.net/uwidel/edit#source
DataTables: http://live.datatables.net/ivojev/4/edit
The new DataTables version shows that jQuery 1.9 is now always trying to
order the nodes by document order, not but the order that they are found
in the source array. Additionally removed nodes are appended to the
results, themselves in reserve order, but that's just the way the Sizzle
node ordering works when items are not in the document (try sorting
numbers and you get the same result).
Given the suggestion in the release notes that the move is to have nodes
always treated in document order, I don't think this is a bug, so not
filing one. It is a bit frustrating that the nodes are iterated in a
different order from the source array, but it is expected from their
documentation and comments. So this is simply something we'll need to
work around.
To that end, I've updated the examples and taken the unusual step of
updating the examples on this site outside the normal release cycle. The
examples in the 1.9.4 current release of DataTables can't change of
course, but the updated examples will be in 1.10 when it is released.
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.
