Form Input Question


Arty Ziff

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure where to put this... Ajax? JS?

 

Suppose you have a form input, and the script that handles that input might (for whatever reason - it does a lot of things of the server has a heavy load...) take longer than instantaneous to process, and so the following page load takes longer than instantaneous...

 

Of course you do not want to user plinking away at reload or enter, it could cause issues.

 

I see that many sites (think ecommerce type apps) immediately send you to some page - "Working..." with an animated graphic. The plane ticket sites do this while they search for your price matrix.

 

Am I right to assume that the form input is done via Ajax, and between the submission and when the Ajax routine returns something, some JS puts up some sort of modal?
