To create a rich AJAX experience for a website, similar to how http://www.pageflakes.com/ dynamically loads different areas of content, I considered using JQuery to do this, using the loading method to dynamically load certain areas of the page and add content to the page.
From an implementation point of view, this is a good approach involving using a web service to load data and create a user interface on a page. I see the pros and cons of using the load:
PROFI
- Allows the server to do the work and display the user interface.
- If necessary, can download only part of the document.
Cons
- Web service / client creation can be faster.
- Have to worry about publishing forms and server constructs or life cycles (for example, using ASP.NET or other technologies).
- Not necessarily as unobtrusive as other approaches.
Any other thoughts, ideas? Is using a load this way a good approach or not?
Thank.
