Following on from my recent blog post, I've now completed the transition for our ADSL Broadband table over to its new home under Plan Finder.

Done in about 3 weeks on and off, with jQuery (and jQuery UI) + dataTables plugin.

Code a bit long since I wanted it done (especially when you lose 3 months work and start from scratch again), but performance wise its good.

New features are:

• pagination (no more long tables, click "Next" for the next group of entries)


• search box (you can now type anything and it'll look for it pretty much anywhere in the entire table)


• new plan information box (now with larger text for in-a-glance stuff, and cool speedometer-like images for speed)

Also with this comes a long awaited editing interface to the table. Wikitext isn't the easiest thing to edit for everyone, especially if you're a person just wanting to make a small edit and scrolling through thousands of lines...

Hopefully this means that it'll encourage more people to edit and make it a more enjoyable experience doing so.




As always, comments and suggestions are welcome.


I hope you enjoy my school holiday project
