IE7 issues will be resolved in the next day or so) </li> <li> <a href="http://demo.openlinksw.com/public_demos/reports/Pivots/">My Pivots demo directory</a> (other Pivots will be added as I build and save them) </li> <li> <a href="http://demo.openlinksw.com/public_demos/queries/">My Saved Queries</a> (a collection of saved QBE generated queries)</li> </ul> Screencast: Yahoo! Maps variation of Ajax Database Connectivity Maps Mash-up http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/kidehen@openlinksw.com/blog/?date=2006-05-26#986 2006-05-26T22:49:00Z 2006-06-22T08:56:58-04:00 This is a Yahoo! maps variation of the <a href="http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/%7Ekidehen/index.vspx?page=&id=985">Google Maps based Forms Designer mash-up screencast</a>.<br /> <br /> <br /> Screencast: Using a Live Report (mash-up) that exploits AJAX Database Connectivity http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/kidehen@openlinksw.com/blog/?date=2006-05-26#984 2006-05-26T22:27:00Z 2006-06-22T08:56:58-04:00 Another demo. This time around you are looking at a quick and dirty mashup assembled using the <a href="http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/%7Ekidehen/index.vspx?page=&id=981">OAT FormDesigner</a>. There is a follow-on demo that shows how this was assembled (no coding whatsoever!).<br /> Building Pivot Tables using Ajax Database Connectivity http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/kidehen@openlinksw.com/blog/?date=2006-05-26#983 2006-05-26T22:08:00Z 2008-02-04T20:43:35.000004-05:00 This screencast demo (enclosure attached) is a continuation from my earlier <a href="http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/%7Ekidehen/index.vspx?page=&id=982">Ajax and QBE screencast</a> demo. This time the focus is on building Excel like Pivot tables using data exposed via Ajax Database Connectivity.<br />
