New packets at bnetdocs?

Thanks, fixed now.

For the RJ-47er's among us, could you make the left hand side bar cached or something, since its the same among all the pages? I'm not sure how you have BnetDocs set up, but maybe move the bar to a external HTML page and use include tags, so we cache the bar and just load the other info?

I could make a framed version, I suppose. Aside from that, there's nothing really. It's not cacheable because it changes.

Have you selected not to display the sections you don't use? That should speed it up a lot. If you're really stuck, you can hide all the sections and use the search page to find things. It'll detect if you enter a message ID and you'll get a quicklink above the search results.

If you make a framed version, don't make the side bar reload all the time, also just make the text hide when you close a section, don't reload the page please. Thanks.

If it didn't reload the menu when you hide something, there'd be no point. Obviously, the menu wouldn't reload when you just clicked a regular link.

No, use some javascript and just make that part of the page disapear, like on some menu's I've seen before. It just hides that section of the page and doesn't reload it. Don't ask me how they did it tho.

Also, after your login expires can you add a continue without logging in link?

Javascript isn't exactly old-browser friendly.

I'm sorry but your just going to have to update your Nestcape Navigator version 0.3248

JavaScript also doesn't play well with people who run tight security configurations, nor does it play well with textmode browsers that are built without it (for example, w3m and lynx). It's a bad solution.

Javascript won't help.

When you hide something with Javascript, it's only hidden, not removed - it's still in the HTML for the page. Thus, the server still has to generate that HTML. Thus, using javascript to hide a menu will not confer any speed improvement.

It was only if it was a framed version, thus removing the need to refresh that page anyway.

On your TestBNCS page, the bar on the side is pretty 56k-friendly. Could you do something like that in a frame, and then have a second frame with the individual packet information?

PS: The Logon Sequence page has no <title></title> thing.

Arta · January 29, 2005, 06:50 PM

Sure. The menu frame would still be slow to load though, because there's lots more in it.

Joe[x86] · January 29, 2005, 09:10 PM

QuoteObviously, the menu wouldn't reload when you just clicked a regular link.

Also, I could live with loading it every time I visit. Its not the wait time that pisses me off. Its that it takes soo damn long theres a 25% chance of the connection being dropped before the packet info is even loaded. 25% is a lot compaired to how much I use it.

[edit]The logon sequence page still has no <title></title> thingy, and in the Diablo I section, you spelled Diablo wrong.[/edit]
