AJAX trash posts

[meheranandk]

Add AJAX to trash posts, like comment moderation.

From GSoC ideas list:

Add AJAX Paging to Admin Screens. Something we've never gotten around to is adding AJAX paging to the list-type screens (edit.php, etc). Currently, getting to the next page of items means a screen refresh. For this project, add ajax paging to all the list-type screens in the WordPress admin. We have all the underlying PHP, but it needs some JavaScript love.

JS file for AJAX Trash. (Place in wp-admin/js directory)

Patch to AJAXify Trash in edit.php (Include admin-ajax.js as well)

What is the performance difference between:

current_element.parent().parent().parent().parent().children("th,td:not(.undo-trash)").each(function(){
  /*do something */
});

and

current_element.parents('tr').children("th,td:not(.undo-trash)").each(function(){
  /*do something */
});

I know the latter seems much more straight forward

Can this be closed to be dealt with in #14579 ?

Guess not.

9 years this has been open. 9 year!

As a general rule, shouldn't all core list pages have a common user experience? If I can delete a plugin without reloading the page, why not approve, unapprove, spam or trash a comment?
