How did they do this? I am trying to do the same, but I do not have
so many records. I am already using a bunch of filters to reduce the
amount of data.

The "big" advantage I get by paging and sorting at the browser(/client) end
is that I do not have to hit the web_server/db_server again for the
same (sorted/paged) data.If I have to save some db hits, I may have to
cache the
data using sessions.

Well by using the browser I do not have to cache the data and I can
sort/page
on the fly.

But it is pretty complex task to come up with such functionality.
Any pointers are really appreciated.


David M. Karr else suggested using JSP's, it is same as using the Servlets
and we don't
this logic to be at the server end because of the same problems I mentioned
above.

Thanks
