Yiguang,
This is a good idea. But, I'd rather replace the current call with
your suggestion. Right now it is not set in stone.
Question: How would you propose the handling of "total"?
Is it only known on the server side and when the call can return no
more then it returns an empty string? This would lead to having an
active next button when there is no next.
Or should it be available on the client?
Should we add something like the following that will get the "total"?
In Him,
DM
