"partial page refresh" ?

by Ashley Gable Posted: 16 years ago 4 replies

Hi

I have just installed a comment script on one of my sites. But the page I am using it on has a pretty big video on it, so I dont like the idea of each person who comments loading the page twice. Plus it takes a while to load.

Is there a way to just have the comment area do its thing after they submit it, while the rest of the page stays the same?

I dont know if such a thing is even possible. So I thought I would ask here.

Thanks

Ashley

It is very possible with the wonderful world of AJAX. Using javascript you can update only a portion of a page. However, putting that into action does require some heavy technical lifting.

The easy way might be to look at using IntenseDebate comments enhance and encourage conversation on your blog or website
