Regardless of whether it is standard or not I've definitely worked on sites that worked this way back in the day. Smarty+PHP would generate the beef of the page, then certain components of the page would be pulled in using Ajax requests as the user did things. The browser would not care.
- Beltalowda 4y agoI still write sites like this. I realize this is not "the way" to do things today by many, but I find it works quite well and it avoids a lot of complexity. I think the "classic" web-apps were given a bit of an undeserved bad rep because a lot were written in bad PHP and bad JavaScript, and people conflated that with "this entire approach is wrong".
