Hello,<br />
<br />
I'm developing a web application where some pages have a number of items that are shown.<br />
<br />
At the moment, I load the items during the initial page load within my PHP code by echoing the code on to the page, then if the user clicks &quot;more&quot; the additional items load through an AJAX query, that are then added to the DOM.<br />
<br />
Is this normal practice to use more than one way of loading items on to the page?<br />
<br />
Should I go to using AJAX to load the items upon page load? &nbsp;If I do this, are there any problems that can arise from doing this?<br />
<br />
Thanks for your opinions/personal experiences,<br />

jQuery AJAX and/or PHP for initial load - opinion question

jQuery (Core) is a cross-browser JavaScript library that provides abstractions for common client-side tasks such as Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax. jQuery also provides a platform to create plugins that extend jQuery's capabilities beyond those already provided by the library.
