Displaying a Large Table


beta0x64

Recommended Posts

I have a table for, well, displaying tabular data. However, I am curious as to how I can make the best possible user interface... See, it has many columns, and will not fit completely on one page/viewport.

 

What makes this a little bit trickier is that I plan on having an input box at the top for queries, which will return valid rows to this interface. This means that it's pretty flexible at this point.

 

Any ideas? Maybe I'm overcomplicating

Pagination with sortable columns.

and repeat the row numbers for consistency

 

good idea!

that could be done in ajax, too

 

though I have a feeling that the client wants to keep the page as similar to the current setup as possible (this is being exported from Excel, so a wide spreadsheet isn't a new concept
