in the prototype of navigation[1], today, there are two dropbox and these will be filled with a large set of content. It is undesirable that content to be loaded before it clicked, because it can increase the loading time of pages unnecessarily [1]http://www.mollywhite.net/storage/gsoc/navbar.html
Not necessarily, if the list is loaded only after the user clicks in the button, there may be a delay until it is displayed to the user (having it preloaded would mitigate that delay, I think). Another alternative would be to load (before the click) just a few chapters which are near the current one (e.g. 5 previous chapters and 5 subsequent chapters), and present the user the option to "load more..." or "see all..." (then load the whole list when this option is clicked) Anyway, what about users without JavaScript?
I do not understand well about cache, so I do not know if your option is better, but we could also: 1.Load ("after" the click) just a few chapters which are near the current one (e.g. 5 previous chapters and 5 subsequent chapters) 2.Present the option to "load more..." or "see all..." (then load the whole list when this option is clicked). Anyway, the points are: 1. Do not be slow to load the whole page in case of big books 2. Do not be slow to load the menu (when clicked).
We're going to improve load times by caching the JSON objects. This should improve performance without causing a delay in loading the dropdown or requiring additional requests to be sent.
