Few months ago I posted a Javascript class on how to Implement a paging listbox using jQuery. which has drawn a lot of traffic and few questions lately so I thought it would be more convenient to rewrite the code as jQuery plugin and make few enhancements plus providing a complete sample code in VB.Net and C#.
Enhancements:
- Easier usage, You only need to insert a div with the class "paging-listbox" and settings inside "options" attribute to automatically have the paging listbox loaded inside that div. still you can load the listbox with regular Javascript call.
- Added support for right-to-left layout.
- You can pass additional parameters to source page via AJAX. for example a category ID that user selects from another form field and should be used to query records by on the source page.
- Few visual enhancements.
