Ajax pagination possible?

    Hi,

    I’ve been using TablePress on my site since opening. I use it as a sort of ‘table of contents’ for displaying the image, title, and various info about Japanese comics (pages, language, etc). Two columns, and a couple hundred rows.

    The problem is, the paging built into TablePress isn’t AJAX, so it has to load every single image in the table (several hundred, on some pages) before it shrinks down and paginates. Some people can’t load the page, some mobile browsers crash while trying. Is there any way to paginate with AJAX so it only loads the pages as needed? If not, any other advice?

    Thanks for the great plugin, it’s a life saver for time saving!

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble with the images.

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to use some sort of AJAX loading for the table, due to how the internal format of tables is set up. Sorry 🙁

    One idea might be to use another plugin that has JavaScript code in it that will defer the loading of images. I have seen something like this before, where for example images would only be loaded if they are within the visible part of a page. Something like that should probably help here.

    Regards,
    Tobias
