Tabbed forumindex

[Rotsblok]

Im asking this cos i was today surfing the dev sites (if they have one) and i noticed some cool features on BartVB site namingly the tabbed index. I know the feature list is frozen but is BartVB doing a mod for it and is he going to publish it????

Wow, thats something rather original, I dont think ive ever seen something like that, nicely done Bart.

PS.. Im wondering why you havent used AJAX, instead of just static JS??

ok ok, but AJAX is good for some things, but I'm not so sure it's so vital for a forum. I mean a text input field (not unlike the one I'm typing in right now) to use AJAX and be WYSIWIG would be really neat but pretty unimportant. also AJAX voting in a poll would be a bit faster in the turnaround in voting, but the initial pageload would be increased slightly to accomodate this.

best use I can think of would be the WYSIWIG post reply.

Well to my knowledge a WYISWYG editor can be done solely with plain Javascript I believe.. No need for AJAX, as all its doing is changing the innerHTML of the window..

AJAX is primarily used for smaller widgets to make them run faster, as in Form Submission. I would like to see AJAX used within the Topic Search function. But lets not get this topic locked by going sideways..

it may be good for a poll, but almost everything else would kill the site's bandwidth because the client would have to check back every so often to see if there are new topics

Hmmm Can you guys post your AJAX crap on the appropiat topic this is about the tabs Bart made not about AJAX

[karlsemple]
