One particular situation that is bugging me is pagination. When trying to paginate a large table (say 10000 rows), as well as sort it by a particular column, what would be the best...
Hi, Is it possible to somehow mimic the slower download speeds of my website, as if it is hosted on a web server, but from my localhost? It's hard to test things like Ajax loading icons when the content loads so quick from your local machine so I think this could help me out a lot?
