adam84 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I have a site where users are able to internally send mail to each other. Would it be considered a good idea to use ajax to check and see if the user have any new mail. As of now, every time the user loads a new page, I check for any new mail and if there is I display “New Mail”. But if I created a function, that would check every x amount of seconds, would that be a waste of resources, a waste of querying the database? I really like the idea of using ajax to do that, but again not all ideas are efficient. I much rather code it efficiently, so the site runs much quicker, than a cool idea that makes the site run slow. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonLewis Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Have it an option. It would be a good feature, people would be impressed. Just make it a user defined option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
