Good thoughts and suggestions - thanks I'll see if I can make a 'case' for the extra coding overhead.
1. a gazillion connections if I have to send html in little pieces all the time - i am very very concerned about overloading the servers (total 80cores - 160gigs of ram - ~500gigSSD - not shared 100meg connection - internal network between the nodes is gigabit) --- with the json method - we do the initial DB dump - then each selection is sent to the servers 2. when the session starts I put the entire menu db (max 2100 items - average is only about 150 items) as a var in the page 3. i use that data to draw the menus and the submenus(submenus are dynamically shown as a client selects them) 4. once an item is selected it's displayed in the list of selected items -- i also tee that process and send a json packet to the server 5. we are only supporting ipads Make sense? -- if not let me know ..
