List of Experiments: Unnecessary Redirects (Inefficient) #214

Open jaidevshriram opened 5 years ago

jaidevshriram commented 5 years ago

The list of experiments for Data Structures uses an inefficient method to display slightly varying page content.

Current Method:

<a href="Introduction.html?domain=Computer Science" class="sidebar-a" > <a href="List of experiments.html?domain=Computer Science" class="sidebar-a" > <a href="Target Audience.html?domain=Computer Science" class="sidebar-a" > <a href="Courses Aligned.html?domain=Computer Science" class="sidebar-a" >

The only difference in the content on these pages is a paragraph in this section : image

Possible Solution:

A better solution would be possibly including all the paragraphs on the same page, and displaying what's required depending on the button clicked. (Could easily be done in JS).

Toggle display:block and display:none

Benefit:

  1. Reduce number of files that must be fetched to render the website.

  2. Easier website maintenance as style, scripts only have to be updated on one file.

Similar Implementations exist across all experiments. I feel that new HTML pages would be beneficial only when the content on it is significant.

The Computer Programming lab is a good example of what could be implemented.
