In one case, you might request the list of cities each time a user click on state. In another case, you might cache the list of cities the first time the user clicks on a given state so that you wouldn't have to rerequest the same data again. The later example would have bandwidth, but it required additionally programming on the part of the developer.
My point is that while it is often possible to reduce the amount of bandwidth -- like in the above example -- there may not be a business reason to do so. It may simply cost more money to spend the extra development time than to use more bandwidth. > While I believe there are many considerations for UI, I don't know how you > could say that performance and bandwidth simply aren't a consideration. > Perhaps they are less significant at times, but rarely are they not a > consideration. > I think there is a certain threshold where they simply do not matter. For example, as long as it is fast enough I don't care if I can make it faster. -Matt ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
