You can load content dynamically using AJAX. You can create animations that may increase the effectiveness of your website. However, JavaScript has some drawbacks too. 1. Increased Loading Time In order for your JavaScript to be loaded by your visitors’ browsers it will need to be downloaded to their computer. This increases the amount of time required to load your webpage. If you have a very fast internet connection, this may seem insignifica (General)

Stories similar to Drawbacks of Using JavaScript

:) So i'm trying to design an app, and i'm facing a problem i can't find the solution of..

Basically, i designed a Browser app, to load one particular website --> http://www.medishala.org/moonstone13/ But instead of loading the whole page, its giving me only the left corner logo and nothing else.. Other websites are loading fine, facing this problem in only this one.

Google is taking site’s loading speed into consideration in determining its ranking. Even though this will not land a big impact, it is still something we (webmasters) should really look into.

I have a weird problem.

I have two exact website on two servers - dev and qa.

The dev one shows that my javascript size is 100kb, but the qa says 400kb. When I save the script on my local, it is 400kb.

I looked at the header of the javascript on the dev and it looks like..it's sending

"Content-Encoding gzip".

What is this and how do I enable this on the qa to make my script smaller?

Java Script Problem? maybe? 25 weeks 20 hours ago

I would like to play settlers of catan online at www,playcatan,com but for some reason when I go to load the game it doesnt load. I thought at first it was because it required JavaScript to run but have recently found on forums that JavaScript is fully enabled on Android devoces? Is there any way to get this to load? or does anyone know whatthe real issue may be?

Why does nginx by default serve javascript .js as mime-type application/x-javascript? I've noticed the two most popular standards seem to be: text/javascript and application/javascript.

What is the reason for x-javascript?

Thanks.

I've created a website using Adobe Edge which outputs a series of files, .css, .js, .html, and .edge to create a HTML5 webpage. The website is to be hosted locally on a tablet for sales presentations. We have tested it on the Acer Iconia A500 with Android 3.0.1 without any issues using Opera (other browsers seem to "catch").

Today we're launching the first in a series of features on how to use common websites without using proprietary JavaScript. You may not be aware of the dangers of JavaScript -- a problem we've deemed The JavaScript Trap -- proprietary software running on your computer, inside your web browser. The focus of our first feature is Google's GMail service.

So normally javascript files are loaded using the tag.

But how can you bind the loading of scripts files(For some secondary features like searching) to the document ready event?

And is it generally a good way to minimize your page's response time?

(sorry maybe I should ask on SO, but I do want to hear from people that mange the server.)
