Topic: Experiment DHTML navigation ???

http://www.sortons.net/photos/dhtmlCPG.htm

this is with Coppermine ... you have "choice"

http://www.sortons.net/photos : to "go to" THIS GALLERY http://www.sortons.net/photos/thumbnails.php?album=1680

I have to click
http://www.sortons.net/photos/index.php?cat=96

and
http://www.sortons.net/photos/index.php?cat=6


to see this gallery, I have to reload 3 times the interface : very loud for server, and the final user ...

With dhtmlCPG, I "see" how many galleries are inside the categories ...

So I have had the same SUGGESTION about PunBB ...

Instead of clicking and clicking and clicking ...

do this, but instead of Coppermine where all is loaded the first time, we can imagine the same thing with xmlhttprequest ... the advantage ? See the topics with very intuitive interface.

I'm listening your position with the possibilites of dhtml and xmlhttprequest ...

lol, i'll have another look at an "ajax" style version of punbb then, problem is its so much effort, although quite interesting since i haven't done much javascript before

Re: Experiment DHTML navigation ???

The advantage is to have the first dhtml EASY forum.

In front of the post, for users who want to track the url, we can imagine
home > name of the forum > name of the topic
