- Sub: re infinite scroller

- The infinite scroller issue seems to be coming to a head now. Perhaps it's the
- New Year; perhaps it's the new Decade (which may or may not begin in a few
- weeks). Anyway, I, too, have had to deal with this issue. My solution is to
- modify the scrollers-within-scrollers model that was in Frameworks(?) utilities
- disk(?) or something a while ago. So, instead of an infinite scroller, you
- have an outer scroller that merely scrolls through a few years (or centuries).
- The next scroller scrolls through months. Etc. etc. I'm just in the middle of
- doing this now for an office system, and haven't come up with a visualization
- that I like, but the functionality seems to be appropriate - and the users like
- it.
-
- Hope this helps.
