maintaining link collections...

nic,

i agree. right now i have a page saved locally to my computer here at work that categorizes my links into drop-down menus using some js and dhtml. problem is, it takes upwards of 20 seconds to load. (mostly because of the js). im planning on putting it on some free webspace i have with my isp when its done, but i just dont like how long it takes to load.

my problem, i guess, is finding the right format for storing my links. ideally, i would like to make it db driven with asp. but my isp doesnt support asp and im too cheap to pay for one that does.

i could do a yahoo-like thing where i click into diff categories, but i think that sort of defeats the purpose of what im trying to do. i want to write as few pages as possible and be able to display as many links as possible. a list format on one page is right out.
