Optimization
OK I think I would like some help on this one.
If
you have a minute to look at this site
Scoilnet, for example
the
Primary Teachers
section, I have a Resource Finder box on the top left
column.
This is working fine, 3 dropdown menus.
When you call something from the first menu, I create the
second one depending on the items of the first one. You
are still follow me :-)
Great, so I do the same
with the third menu, and I have at this stage a Go button
to finally show you the resources selected on another
page.
My issue here, and surely you can guess
if you do the above steps, is the refresh process between
each postback.
So what I am trying to do is to
optimize the postback. I tried some Cache, but the number
of items in each dropdown could change very often.
And
a user could also select many different options, so how I
am suppose to cache 3 dropdown ?
Of course, I
could build 'statically' some Javascript arrays, but
imagine the ugly effects regarding the maintenance.
The
SmartNavigation option crash for this page ( surely too
complex), in case somebody think about this stuff.
I
am still looking for some opinions on this, so feel free
to comment
