[Javascript] Question - Page Load Feedback

[Harvey A. Ramer]

Shawn:

Thanks so much for taking the time to test the site. I assume you had up to
7 seconds of lag on some of the links you clicked.
The problem is that it takes up to 7 seconds to return a query from the db.
During this time, there is no incremental page load like larger pages have.
Unattentive browsers may think the links are dead. I observed one person
doing this ... Not good. There are two options, get a more expensive mysql
host or provide feedback. Since the client will not likely want to upgrade
the hosting, the feedback seems the best solution.

I checked out your site, but I'm not sure what you mean by 'choose another
option under lodging.' The link 'lodging' itself doesn't do anything, but
I'm sure it's because I was already on the lodging page. But the links
underneath it all change the information on the page.

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding your description of the problem...
