Last page + small result set = huge white screen

romsok

Here is the issue:

I have a table with thousands of records - so obviously I used pagination.
So let's say I display 100 rows at a time - then my page is pretty long. Then I jump to the last page...
And that page has only like 5 records, so the table contracts significantly, and you are staring at a large white space and have to scroll all the way up back to the table.

Any suggestions as to how to resolve this?

Hi romsok,

A couple of ideas spring to mind:

1. On each page turn, have the page scroll back up to the top of the table
2. On each page turn, scroll the page back up until all the white space is gone
3. On each page turn, check to see if the table is in the viewport, and if not jump it back to the start

Personally I prefer 3 from an interaction point of view, but you could use any of these, and perhaps others to solve the issue.

Regards,
Allan
