Question

i have a web page that once it loads, it sends a lot of Ajax calls to fill some parts of the page. It’s a Django template, it’s sending around six calls with code similar to this :

$.get("http://127.0.0.1:8000/purchase/?name="+me.username, function(data){
        $("#purchase").append(data);
    });

sometimes they are called when the user clicks on a button, but they are mostly called when the page is refreshed.

Im new to Ajax, and I want to know if it’s the right way to use this technology in an optimal manner. Is it alright to send Ajax calls similar calls that are separate ?

Thanks

For now i think just put those $.get() scripts into a jQuery ready function if you want them to fire when page loads and not on refresh… And yes its normal for a page to behave like this. That’s what AJAX is meant for.

$(document).ready(function(){
    $.get("http://127.0.0.1:8000/purchase/?name="+me.username, function(data){
        $("#purchase").append(data);
    });

    //other  $.get 's
});

Also use the jQuery ready() documentation.
