Multiple Forms VS New Pages

Question

User-221787929 posted

I was wondering if you only get or get the best performance increase or benefit of using multiple forms on a single page when the other forms do not need to make any calls back to the server. It seems to me you get a benefit if you have a few forms on a page and can navigate to each one withought having the application make a call back to the server. This seems to work very well. It does not seem like you get any benefit of using multiple forms on a single mobile page if each form needs to do database lookups based on the previous selection in the previous form. It seems like you would be better of creating a new page.

I just wanted to make sure my understanding of this is true.

Thanks in advance

Any way to measure this? I think it is possible to measure it.

I guess I can create a page and clock how fast it takes to load the page just using forms. Then create another sample to measure caliing a new page.

I was kinda looking more for other peoples experiences. I keep reading that using multiple forms on a page is faster than calling another page.
