People say they don’t like the idea of a page refreshing. But, I like it. I like using old school forms without JavaScript. I think we should build apps without JS, just forms and pure HTML.
- thdrdt 6y agoWell I mostly agree this should be the first steps in building an app. But there are a lot of areas where interaction with JS shines over form posts. For example a form where a choice determines the next steps in the form. This could be done with simple form posts but then you loose your scroll position or at least it will jump because anchors are not at the same position as your scroll position. I believe JS is overused and most of the time Single Page applications could be Multiple Page applications with JS where it is needed.
- systemvoltage 6y agoI agree with you. Perhaps plain JS to do basic things.
- edhelas 6y agoIs there really an issue about refreshing pages ? If the issue is the time between loading page, well just optimize your base HTML page loading time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- dvfjsdhgfv 6y agoWithout JS forms submission is the maximum you could do. If you want to do something even slightly dynamic, JS is a must. Personally I use JS for apps, but I don't have any intention to use it for documents. But there are many parties that would like the distinction bethese the two obsured.
