Creating Data Widgets with Easy Database for Websites
Easy Database for Websites offers four different JavaScript-based widgets to let your website's visitors interact with your data:
- Search & Filter — Visitors can search for data in your data table. For example, a set of data visitors might search to find particular items, such as a store's inventory.
- Data Grid — Visitors can only see data in your data table and not search for it. For example, a set of data a visitor only needs to view, such as a restaurant's menu.
- Data Entry — Visitors can enter data into a form, and the data is stored in your data table. For example, a set of data a visitor provides to you, such as a hotel reservation or a request for a quote.
- Image Gallery — Visitors can view a gallery of images. Use it to create a photo gallery on your website. Supported image types include JPG, JPEG, TIF, PNG, and GIF.
To embed widgets on your website you must be able to enter the widget's JavaScript in to your website's coding.
