Embrace the benefits of immediate access and enhanced security by choosing a no account system, a key feature of modern No KYC Casinos.  

Nitobi Grid V3.2 (September 20, 2006)

• Separated data sources from rendering, creating 6 distinct modes of operation:

• LiveScrolling Ajax
• LiveScrolling Local
• Paging Ajax
• Paging Local
• ShowAll Ajax
• ShowAll Local
• Added ShowAll mode – Perform a single get on the data and render it all at once. Useful if all the the data is needed at once for JavaScript operations.
• Improved loadtime performance ~100%. Grids appear more quickly on the screen.
• Added new editors: Image, checkbox, link, password
• Improved CSS styles for less parent-style intrusion. * Nitobi namespace replaces deprecated EBA one. “EBA” becomes “NTB”.
• Added static databinding features

• Client-side sorting
• In-document xml data islands
• Extended the Nitobi Framework The Nitobi Framework is the underlying toolkit that supports our components. It will soon be available as a standalone component, but can be accessed now when using the Grid. Some of the components which have been added to the API documentation are:

• Event Manager – Standardizes cross-browser DOM events. Provides a simple JavaScript publish/subscribe event pattern that can be used for general event notifications.
• Data Table – A complete client-side dataset object alowing easy synchronizing between client-side and remote datasets.
• Callback – Developers can now use the native Grid cross-browser transport method to perform their own Ajax callbacks. Its no longer necessary to use a 3rd party Ajax frameworks to do Ajax transport when using Grid.
• Cross-browser XML/XSLT Libraries – Perform XSL transforms on xml documents with full cross-browser support using the Grid’s native xml library.
• Documentation – Added the framework to the public documentation so the component methods can be used by developers in their own applications external to Grid.
• Cross-browser DOM Toolkit – Access the native Grid DOM library. Supports things like outerHTML, dimensional positioning.
