Delay columns containing images

josdemosselman

Hi,

I've created a webshop containing lost of images. Is it possible, when customers use the filter section, to delay loading the images of the first column? For example: When a customer wants to see all records containing 'samsung', the autofilter will load different rows and images when the 's' is typed, then when 'sa' is typed etc. This increases unnecessary website traffic.
So is there any solution to delay this? The rest of the data has no delay and is instantly visible when auto-filter is used.

Thanks in advance.

How are you loading the data? If Ajax, try using bDeferRender and paging.

Oh - also this plug-in might be of some use: http://datatables.net/plug-ins/api#fnSetFilteringDelay . It adds a small delay to allow further filtering input.

Hi Allan,
thanks for the quick reply.
All the data is loaded from a mysql database (about 8000 records). So i think the first option will not work.
I'm going to implement the filtering delay. Hopefully, it works... The delay, is it in milliseconds? (and how do i test it) just put a delay of 10 seconds?

Yes - in milliseconds. Good to hear it works for you :-)
