Hi Bruno , I agree with you for the first 17 lines , but after that it is just regular javascript/jquery code !! Furthermore what is done in these first 17lines is indeed parsed but could have been put somewhere else ( in layout.html for ex, or in in another file that has to be included in your custom layout) . Spliting the js part into another file may actually shrink this web2y_ajax by 70% i guess( i agree that on the overall page once generated it may not be that big ) . Savng bandwidth and processing time is not useless for these applications and even if i don't expect my apps to experiment high load maybe other could get better results. Don't you think ?
