I writing a video site and it involves a high amount of organization. I found it to be easy to categorize types of videos under one main title in collapsible panels on the home page.
The home page already has
- 2 tabbed panels
- (and will have) 6 collapsible panels
each collapsible panel (title) will have 3 topics, each topic will preview 9 videos and will have a horizontal scroll ((which will be JS) the user presses a left or right button to reveal more videos on the topic) Each video will have a lightbox function to it.
I am using the Maxthon Browser for testing because it has a neat little feature that gives you an idea of how much CPU the site is using. It says it is using about 70 - 90% of the CPU.
My concern is that the home page is going to be using too much of the browser and i don't want to slow my user down, especially if they have more than one site open.
I am not using a database for the site.
My questions
- When is too much JS?
- should i consider using a database?
if you didn't understand anything let me know.
