Background ~~~~~~~~~ I am using an open source framework as a content management system (OpenACS + Xowiki). The framework makes virtually no use of AJAX, with most page requests a round trip to the server (with some minor exceptions). I am going to store approximately 1000 pages of reference information, where each page will correspond to a subject. The service will be accessible as a standard website, but I also want to make the service available so that iPad users experience it as what the Apple design docs describe as a 'WebApp'. Need ~~~~ I will need an alphabetical list navigation zone, where users can select a subject and have the content displayed, either in an adjacent zone or as a full page with a standard Apple 'back' button (I can customise the underlying platform to provide a feed for the Apple style 'back' button). What concerns me is that the initial 'getting started' guide for iUI suggests that iUI will attempt to download all 'screens' on page load. This would be a performance disaster because I cannot countenance grabbing the entire database of documents at once (bandwidth/local storage etc.) So, Quesions: ~~~~~~~~ 1) Can I use iUI in this more conventional context, with standard http requests when links are selected? 2) If so, if I later add AJAX support to the back-end, could I configure iUI to load only the selected page behind-the-scenes, and then apply the animated page transition that is normally does to better imitate a native application?
