I'm working on a browser-game and I can't help but wonder about what's the lightest way to make the grid/board on which the game takes place. Right now, as a mere sample, I'll show you this: -link no longer active, it was basically a 25x25 table+tr+td grid- Now, as the grid gets bigger and bigger, the table and its td's create a very heavy filepage which in turn...sucks in more resources from the browser engine and computer. So, is a table with td's the most lightweight way to craft a huge grid-like board or is there something lighter that you recommend? Cheers Sotkra

1. COWhat kind of lightweight do you mean? Some interpreted your question as performance optimization of HTML sent from the server to the browser. But I believe that the DOM size in the browser might be an issue as well, which might be unrelated.

2. COBoth ways: Both the 'burden' on the server when dispatching and the user's computer when loading up the html.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
