Re: A Responsive Single Page App (SPA) with 3 Issues to Consider

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'll take a closer look then.  You pull all the related HTML files at 
one time?  There is good sense in that, which is why I have just one 
HTML file.  I guess I take "Single Page" a bit too literally! The 
advantage is for mobile users: One round trip saves bandwidth. So your 
design meets that requirement.

I'll have to dig in when I get some free time.
