It depends how much stuff you have in the first div, it there are a lot of images and the user will have to load them again (in case there is no cache) and you care for the traffic those images cost - it would be better to use AJAX. But generally - they both okay, I personally would use reload of the whole page just because of the time it would take me to develop it with ajax ;) HTH, Nitsan On Sat, Oct 4, 2008 at 12:10 PM, Alain Roger <raf.news@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > HI, > > i'm currently working on some web application and i would like to know what > is the best way to do what i want. > basically like all application i have a menu and based on selected item > menu > i want to display a page (basically 50 % of this new page is DB > result/grid. > > As usual i have 2 divs, one for the menu one for the content of DB to > display. > i would like to know if it's not better to use AJAX to load the content of > the second div (DB result and other stuff) instead to every time load a new > page which load menu and content of DB ? > > what are your experiences on such thing ? > thx. > > -- > Alain > ------------------------------------ > Windows XP SP3 > PostgreSQL 8.2.4 / MS SQL server 2005 > Apache 2.2.4 > PHP 5.2.4 > C# 2005-2008 >
