amichalek writes "When designing a new website, you'll probably be tempted
to use all of the fancy techniques to create special
effects, however, try not to go overboard. With each effect
you add to your website, it will take that much more time
for your website to load.
This article describes scripts to avoid when building your website.
Select your scripts carefully. Most browsers now support
JavaScript, so using this type of script will probably be
your best choice. Keep in mind, JavaScript and Java are
two totally different languages and are not in any way
connected.
If you must use Java on your site, use it sparingly. Java
can be slow and has a tendency to crash browsers. It can
also add a lot of time to your websites load time.
Scripts to Avoid When Designing a Professional Site:
- Pop up boxes asking for your visitor's name
- disabling the browsers back button
- continuous alert messages
- scrolling messages in the status bar
- large scrolling text
- fancy cursors
- cursor trailers
- automatic transfers on mouseovers
This list represents only a small portion of the types
of scripts you should avoid. These scripts are not only
very irritating, but they're a big waste of your visitors
time. If you want your visitors to return, use scripts
that will compliment your website.
