for pure text based websites. that would be fine. but the website i used for a base, orgigionally was going to have a few images, and several db calls. so wouldnt have looked as nice.
thnx for the suggestion tho
yes and no. it would take the same amount of time to load. Now this is where you start to control the cache and how it works. For my GUI prototype i am working on I am using images, text, Sprites... etc so I know what the server strains are. The fluid-ness between the transitions are very smooth if you set up the order properly the only delay would be the initial first load of an image, or data transition.
The greatest thing I find about using ajax is it actually saves on bandwidth if you make all your pages just load normally but not include the divs and such and just load what is needed when needed in the divs.
