How to display x no.of recs and load y no.of more recs when scrolled(using bScrollInfinite,etc) ?

Rojer

Hi all Datatables.net is awesome.. keep upi the good work..

I am aware of the infinite scroll facilities of datatable.. the options like iDisplayLength, bScrollInfinite, bDeferRender, bPaginate, etc

I know that iDisplayLength's count is used to display more rows in infinite scrolling.

My doubt is how to show 50 records first and then show 5 more records every time user scrolls

Thanks

Any ideas ?

Why do you want to show 50 records first and then show 5 more records every time the user scrolls?

I am afraid that the 'distance' scrolled is hard-wired in the code.

Set iDisplayLength to 50 in the initialisation and then use the fnLengthChange change plug-in ( http://datatables.net/plug-ins/api#fnLengthChange ) to set the paging length to 5 after initialisation. DataTables will load the next records as a 'page'.

5 isn't many records to add at a time though!

Also have you considered using Scroller? It is effectively the replacement for infinite scrolling, which is verging on being deprecated these days...
