Re^2: Lightweight interface to cast votes?

in thread Lightweight interface to cast votes?

Thanks, nice! :)

But without having tested, I'm wondering how this solves the overhead problem which could be solved by a lightweight interface?

Like extra ...

... traffic size
... delay
... server load
... need to rebuild the whole page

?

LanX I might've misunderstood what you were asking in regards to the overhead. The only problem it solves that I'm aware of is keeping the button on the screen for easy access. When you mentioned the AJAX and such, I thought that your JSON nodelet hack was going to do extra work to incur the overhead that you were talking about. ...roboticus When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

Oh I see, thanks. No my intention is rather to have an user interface similar to StackOverflow, where voting happens asynchronously and without causing unnecessary load on the server side. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply]
