  Looks excellent! I don't have an excuse to play with this right now, but I'm forwarding to a colleague that is going to love it. Can't say much more than big thanks for sharing your work.

  Hey, great work! One thing I found - your MomentCell example seems to steal focus from the document. You can't blur it by clicking elsewhere, which means any other keystrokes (except escape or enter) on the page go directly to it.
  • wyuenho 14y ago
    Stealing focus is intentional because I want you to correct your mistakes, this is the same for all other cell types that do validation. But not giving up focus by clicking elsewhere is not. File me a bug and thanks!

  This is great, I think this is going to come in pretty handy for an upcoming project at work. What a great method of job hunting, I hope it works out!

  Can it handle say 1 million rows, by lazily creating the DOM elements when the scroll into view (like, say, SlickGrid)
  • wyuenho 14y ago
    Can you read 1 million rows at a time like Neo :P Jokes aside, no it cannot, not yet anyway. This is version 0.1 and I really have no intension of cloning SlickGrid. That said, the infrastructure is here http://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/176tvf/backgridjs_a_powerful_widget_set_for_building/c82v0uu http://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/176tvf/backgridj... and avoiding DOM repainting is on the top of my list for version 0.2. https://github.com/wyuenho/backgrid/issues/26 https://github.com/wyuenho/backgrid/issues/26 This should take only 3 lines of code. PR welcome!

  Love it. Really! How difficult would it be to embed a D3 chart in one of the columns? Would that be something tricky to add or could it be made into a column type easily?
  • wyuenho 14y ago
    Probably would be best implemented as an extension that can display a chart in a lightbox or something. Probably something akin to this: http://wyuenho.github.com/backgrid/#api-text-cell http://wyuenho.github.com/backgrid/#api-text-cell

  This is really useful. Thank you. With the scrolling list would it be possible to make the header row stay in place? Some people prefer to scroll with large amounts of data so that they can just use ctr+f to quickly find the links to what they want.

  Crashes safari on my iPhone 4s, iOS 5.1.1.
  • wyuenho 14y ago
    Yeah the gh-pages website has too many grids and codemirror instances opened up at once. The examples really need to load lazily on mobile. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Chrome 24 / Win 7 - clicking in cells in the Date or Population columns changes the column width.

    That's something I have to work on: https://github.com/wyuenho/backgrid/issues/5 https://github.com/wyuenho/backgrid/issues/5 https://github.com/wyuenho/backgrid/issues/6 https://github.com/wyuenho/backgrid/issues/6

  I am interested in the way you used your project to get possible job offers. Did it work? Please let me know, that way I can follow suit.
