Large html data without server side.

dreamcode

Hi, I'm new in DataTables. And i have a problems with big tables.
My table have >100000 rows, and my page is freeze when datatable loads.
Question is : can i use any async loading data, or anything else, to stop my page freezing? Or using waiting animation?

And thx to developers, DataTable is really good:)
P.s. Sorry for my bad language...

100,000 rows without some form of server side interaction is not possible.

Ok, can i use an any waiting animation for table loading and rendering? I just need to stop freezes on my page...

I doubt it. The browser is terribly busy rendering 100,000 rows. You need server side. Point blank.

Ok, what if my table have <25000 rows, page is freeze to 5 sec (represent). Have i any solutions to unfreeze page, and put some waiting animation?

In fairness - it is. Its just not surprising that the browser freezes...! You are kind of asking for it if you load that much data into the dom and then have anything read it back...

The answer is, use Ajax loading of data. Even without server-side processing you'll et a big speed boost.

There is no other option - if there was some magic toggle to make DataTables load faster, I wouldn't hide it!
