How many screens is too many for a web app?

[Ron5262221]

I'd like to build a web app and export as jquery single page that could possibly contain 200 or so screens. Is this going to be so large that it would take an unreasonable amount of time to load.

What's the largest you've ever seen?

Thx

200 would be too big for a single page template. When the app loads, all 200 pages would be loaded into the DOM.

I'm at 20 with lots of content.
Found it too be too much as a multi-page.
Went to single page now Tiggzi loads fast, phone app performs much better.
The BIG Plus I have control over history, cache etc.

Hi Eric !
Oh my. That's a loaded question... lol

All I can reference to is Android.
While everything works for the most part. Jquery gets slow when DOM is packed with too many pages. Even if Content not excessive.
Transitions NONE. Its plain but fast as long as the spinner is disabled.
I use css for all my animations. Moving buttons, effects, fade etc.
Cache is a huge problem with Multi-page template. Pages shown with previous user inputs etc. No control over DOM and History gets broken if u muck with it.
Single page is the best solution(I think).
Keep images to a minimum a well compressed. Load dynamically if possible.
Don't use the calender plugin its bulky and buggy. Use Mobiscroll instead.
Avoid the Footer with button. There hit and miss with jquery.

Maybe other could add to this?...
Regards.
