Thank you,

Hi Robert,

No, I haven't (that's not what you asked  )

But Steve Ryan has an interesting class coming, see the ng's.

FWIW I do, however, use a "cowboy trick" in an app targeted specifically for tablets (iPads in fact). Here I let the users decide how many rows they want to see in a browse. By setting a large number they sort of get a "scrolling experience" which works quite well.

Hallo Bruce,


Do you have any plan to support scroll browse in NT7?
Is there any trick to implement now the scroll in browse?

Thank you,
Robert

there are some tricks - using CSS - but they're not that easy to explain if you're not familiar with CSS. (and if you are familiar then you probably don't need much help)

With NT8 there may be more in the way of template options though.

cheers

Hi Robert,

I've done them, but you'd need to be more specific.

I've done ones which are common for phones and tablets, where i generate a browse of say 100 records that match whatever the search criteria is (or no search criteria) and then they can request more rows and it loads more records and you can keep scrolling.

Alternatively you can do it with a normal table, but it means you need to load all the results and then just use a CSS div as a "window" utilising {overflow: auto; height: someHeight;} to get a scrolling window.

But if you have a complex page with lots of other stuff on it, things can get complicated, works good for mobile/tablet though.

Requires CSS know-how and how to call NT as ajax manually.

Hallo Bruce,

In NT6 I got it working but after upgrade to NT7 it doesn't work anymore...if you can give some idea then I could make it work again.

(and if you are familiar then you probably don't need much help)
well I was not born in CSS family ) but I could learn fast.

>With NT8 there may be more in the way of template options though.
Thanks. Did you take a look of infinite scroll like wall in facebook? it could be interesting.

Hallo Bruce,

Any news on this one for NT8? Or you have an example?
I have a lot of browse and child where I have around 10 to 30 records and I would like to make them with scroll. Users ask me this a lot and also I found not very user friendly buttons back,next....

Infinite scroll like in facebook will be best of the best! :-)

Thank you,
Robert
