Yeah, that's what I mean...
If it's "too much data to generate/send all at once", then AJAX makes
sense. If it's just a presentation issue, i.e. not really all that
much data to generate/send, it just takes up too much room in the page
to "display all together", as you say, then you don't really need to go
back to the server for each little thing, you can send it all together
and use browser JS to control the display, something like
function showHideSomething() { // (set somebody's onclick handler to
this)
if (whateverElement.hidden) {
whateverElement.style.display = 'block';
whateverElement.hidden = false;
} else {
whateverElement.style.display = 'none';
whateverElement.hidden = 'true';
}
}
I'm pretty sure Dojo includes this kind of stuff out of the box, too.
