@Schmaniel it gives u an appreciation for the art of good user experience web pages

Everytime my module do an API request to refresh the data, the table is disappearing for a second or two, this shouldn’t be normal, right?

sdetweil

@Schmaniel u get new data, then say, this.updateDom(how-fast)

then mm calls your getDom() routine to get the new content to display

so, what is the number u pass to updateDom()

0 means immediately
2000 means transition new content in 2 seconds

Schmaniel

@sdetweil thats the code I got:

    start: function() {
        var self = this;
        setInterval(function() {
            self.updateDom(1000);
        }, 60000);
    },

So as I understand now it updates every minute (60000) and it needs 1 second (1000) to update?
Should I change the 1000 to 0, so it updates immediately?

sdetweil

@Schmaniel yes, 0.

doesnt NEED 1 second. should TAKE 1 second

so.u slowed it down

Schmaniel

@sdetweil aaaaaaaah, thank you :)

After hours of testing I’m at my end…

Thats the result so far:

I want to shrink the cells down, but I can’t find a way to do it…

I tried it with height, line-height, padding and so on…

Do you have any ideas?
