Question

I have a JSP page which will be filled with dynamically created tables with data filled in from a database.

This page will look something like this

<div id="VehicleWrap">
   <form id="bookvehicle" method="post" action="bookvehicle">
       <table>
           <tr>
              <td class="label"><label id="lbodytype" for="transmission">Body Type</label></td>
              <td class="field"><input id="bodytype" name="bodytype" type="text" value="<%= vehicle.getBodyType()%>" maxlength="50" readonly/></td>
              <td class="status"></td>
           </tr>
           <tr>
              <td class="label"><label id="ltransmission" for="transmission">Transmission</label></td>
              <td class="field"><input id="transmission" name="transmission" type="text" value="<%= vehicle.getTransmission()%>" maxlength="50" readonly/></td>
              <td class="status"></td>
           </tr>
       </table>

       <table>
           <tr>
              <td class="label"><label id="lbodytype" for="transmission">Body Type</label></td>
              <td class="field"><input id="bodytype" name="bodytype" type="text" value="<%= vehicle.getBodyType()%>" maxlength="50" readonly/></td>
              <td class="status"></td>
           </tr>
           <tr>
              <td class="label"><label id="ltransmission" for="transmission">Transmission</label></td>
              <td class="field"><input id="transmission" name="transmission" type="text" value="<%= vehicle.getTransmission()%>" maxlength="50" readonly/></td>
              <td class="status"></td>
           </tr>
       </table>

       <table>
           <tr>
              <td class="label"><label id="lbodytype" for="transmission">Body Type</label></td>
              <td class="field"><input id="bodytype" name="bodytype" type="text" value="<%= vehicle.getBodyType()%>" maxlength="50" readonly/></td>
              <td class="status"></td>
           </tr>
           <tr>
              <td class="label"><label id="ltransmission" for="transmission">Transmission</label></td>
              <td class="field"><input id="transmission" name="transmission" type="text" value="<%= vehicle.getTransmission()%>" maxlength="50" readonly/></td>
              <td class="status"></td>
           </tr>
       </table>
   </form>
</div>

As you can see above I will have a list of tables within a form and div. However i cant form the tables into one long table and use one of the many table pagination plugins.

How would i paginate this so that for example, there would only be 5 tables to a pagination page.

Answer 1

Flexipage is a jQuery plugin for paginate any HTML content. Inspired
in Quick Paginate plugin.

Usage

To use the flexipage plugin, include jQuery and jquery.flexipage inside the tag of your document:

<script src="javascripts/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="javascripts/jquery.flexipage.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Then write some HTML like this:

<div>
  <ul class="fp-example">
    <li>Item 1</li>
    <li>Item 2</li>
    <li>Item 3</li>
    ...
    <li>Item 22</li>
    <li>Item 23</li>
    <li>Item 24</li>
    <li>Item 25</li>
  </ul>
</div>

And start flexipage

$('.fp-example').flexipage();
