have a general question related to use of tabs, basically i am working with LGPL version and i have been creating a screen which allows for search and view/edit of a list of records. On the first tab in the tabset is my search list, when i double click the search list it opens a new TAB in the tab set with an edit form for the selected record, i can continually keep clicking the list an opening tabs for edit/update of records.
The idea being a WorkBook/Excel type of setup, that allows me to view/enter information in varying tabs in one screen without need for opening each editor in a separate page/page reload.
The question relates to client performance and whether this approach is a good idea? for example i have been testing with google chrome and found that i can essentially open 20+ tabs of information, when i check the system monitor (vista) i find that chrome is running at about 85MB, whereas without opening any tabs at all chrome seems to hover around 50MB, so 30MB with all this info in screen seems ok..
Was wondering if you guys have a guideline as to how many components/data/elements are realistic within a single page? and what are the expected issues if say the client runs out of memory?
