So I have a large JSON object i'm returning from the server, then building a datatable from it and displaying it on the form. This usually takes a few seconds.. so I was thinking of a loading bar.
I have the logic behind the loading bar, however the loop that builds the hmtl data is locking down the browser and I cannot call out to the element i need to update.
Here is my function to do this:
function buildDataTable(db_table, container_id) {
var $pb = $("<div id="progress-bar"></div>");
$(container_id).html($pb);
$pb.progressbar({
value: 0
});
$.post("post location", {
view: "all"
}, function (data) {
var headers = "";
var contents = "";
var jsonObject = $.parseJSON(data);
var tik = Math.round(jsonObject.length / 100);
for (key in jsonObject[0]) {
headers += "<th>" + key.replace(" ", " ") + "</th>";
}
for (i in jsonObject) {
contents += "<tr>";
for (j in jsonObject[i]) {
contents += "<td class="border-right">" + jsonObject[i][j] + "</td>";
}
contents += "</tr>";
if(Math.round(i/tik) == i/tik) {
/* if I run the alert (between popups) i can see the progressbar update, otherwise I see no update, the progressbar appears empty then the $(container_id) element is updated with the table i've generated */
alert('');
$pb.progressbar("value",i/tik);
}
}
var html = "<table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"><thead><tr>" + headers + "</tr></thead><tbody>" + contents + "</tbody></table>";
$(container_id).html(html);
$(container_id).children("table:first").dataTable({
"bJQueryUI": true,
"sScrollX": "100%"
});
});
}
