Well, my record (and most DasBlog sites) looks like: Wow, Regular Expressions AND XPath? What, no "select * from authors"? And a centralized database. If there are children in the room who design for the web, please ask them to leave.įirst, you can go to this online database of sites and add your site along with some *cough* regular expressions and XPath expressions that describe where the next page to retrieve is and what to append it to. Like "horribly gross and this will never scale" insane. Enabling Autopagerize as a Web Site (Blog, etc) Publisher I'm still looking into a reliable way to do this on IE, but you can start with the older GreaseMonkey for IE addon.
It has the benefit of a small colored square in the address bar that will show you if the current page is enabled for paging and the current status. Enabling Autopagerize on ChromeĬhrome has a Chrome Extension called, logically enough, AutoPagerize for Chrome. It's a modification of the standard GreaseMonkey script and it will work with Safari and GreaseKit and Chrome, although I recommend the cleaner Chrome extension. Opera supports "User JavaScript" out of the box, so you can get their oAutoPagerize script, follow some directions and you're all set. You can use GreaseMonkey and the AutoPagerize userscript if you like, but I use the AutoPagerize Firefox Extension from. The main site that promotes this is a bit dodgy looking, at but their Extension for FireFox works and they mean well. I'm not a huge fan myself, as I have some security concerns. Enabling Autopagerize as a Browser of the Webįor the longest time Autopagerize has been a "Greasemonkey script." Greasemonkey is an add-on itself that enable others add-ons, via easy scripts, to dramatically change the behavior of your browser. There's a few things needed and it requires a bit of dancing on your part to make it happen. This screenshot from the AutoPagerize for Chrome extension shows it best:
The general idea is that the browser notices that you're scrolling to the end and rather than making you click, it'll fetch the next page via AJAX and append it to the page you're already on. At least, a de facto standard, and you can enable it on your site with minimal effort. However, there's also been a quiet revolution on sites, and to some extent, in browsers to make infinite scroll a standard thing. There's even a jQuery plugin called Infinite Scroll if you want to enable something like this on your site programmatically. This concept of "infinite scroll" has been called just that, as well as endless pages, autopagerize, etc. If you search for an image and start scrolling, it'll just keep going and going, moving the scroll bar each time and appending new images on the bottom.
One of the things I like the most about Bing Image search (one of the things I prefer about it) is the "infinite scroll" feature.
