texte = Load times depend on your server but are so much faster than asking a server to render a whole page when all you need is to inject some HTML into your page via Ajax. I just launched a new site that uses Jquery extensively including a Digg like button that when clicked opens up a DIV with additional options. Lots of ajax as well such as the "similar commitment feature" (check it out at http://www.kanuhawaii.org/commit/writecommitment/ and type in "conserve water" in the commitment title. If you get an account you can play with the Digg like feature on the commitment pages. The entire backend of this site is run on WebDNA other than PHPMailer (which I use via WebDNA over the WebDNA mailer). With just a few lines of Jquery, you can do tons of processing. Plus you get pretty much all modern browser compatibility.
