Just a quick question. If I use a Pagination for my website and am expecting a lot of results, is it better to use jQuery or just a basic PHP/MySQL one that just loads a new page?
If I use jQuery and I have over 300 results from the database, will it have to load it all at once on the initial page load? That might take a long time to load. Or can you make it load only the first 10, and then when you go to Page 2 it will load the next 10?
Just wondering if you have any suggestions for my situation, and if you recommend any good scripts I can use for it.
Thanks!
IMO, start with “basic” PHP/MySQL pagination (load a new page each time the user changes pages).
Once you’ve got that working, if you want it, then add in jQuery pagination on top. All the jQuery pagination would do is load the new page of results via AJAX, rather than loading an entire new page.
