portfolio site - loading just images

Post by photorealistic »

its been years since ive worked in PHP and im having trouble remembering.... :banghead:

I'm working on making a portfolio website for my photography. ive got the design of the site down but i dont want the whole site to load every time you click on a link.

i know there is a way to have just a area of the website load the links without the whole site reloading. it would help visitors not get frustrated with it loading each time. the images are not that big but less wait means the visitors stay interested.

someone please help me out.

thanks

oopsss, if you somehow don't remember PHP you'll have a hard time for your portfolio because PHP alone cannot do what you want.. An extra javascripting (AJAX) is needed. At some point, there are ready made AJAX applications for viewing images and I think you've seen them already because they are popular on the web. But even though you have those AJAX application and you don't understand AJAX, you will have a hard time integrating it on your PHP code cause you will be modifying the source code of that application.
