Metallica – Data Display Tables
http://www.metallica.com/tour_date_list.asp?show=current
At the tail end of the Metallica website build, we discovered that our ASP library for building Data Display Tables (DDT) performed very poorly. To keep page load times low for pages using the DDT we removed it and replaced it with a collection of code that I wrote. The new data display table code was very fast and included the following functionality (besides properly generating the table): parsing the “search2″ uri query (searchlike~p.city~…) into SQL and results paging.
I also helped implement the jQuery UI datapicker, which allowed for the elimination of a second ASP library we were using to build the html/javascirpt for date picking.
