Re: [Semediawiki-user] side-by-side comparison options of properties

[Yury K. <kat...@gm...>]

Just some thoughts that hopefully maybe interesting for you. If I
designed such a result format, I would first thought of the how I want
to call it:

{{#ask:[[Category:Cameras]]
|?Buying options
|?Review
|?Announced
|?Max resolution
|format= comparison
|show=Canon PowerShot A1200, Canon EOS 7D, Canon ELPH 100 HS
}}


This text will generate the table you need and will show three cameras
at start. All the other cameras to compare can be preloaded and picked
on-the-fly with javascript like it is done in 'filtered' format [1].
Of course this can suit you only if you have relatively small number
of cameras. Starting from 70-100 cameras you will want to use AJAX to
dynamically add stuff to your comparison.
