Reading another rant about scrolling and decimal values I felt an urge to write about a bad practice I often see.

Load on demand when scrolling has been popular for quite some years but when implementing it, take some time to consider the pages overall layout.

I have several times encountered sites with this “helpful” feature that at the same time follows another staple feature of pages, especially news sites, of putting contact and address information in the footer ...

Genius right :)

I scroll down to find contact info and just as it comes in view new content gets loaded and pushes it out of view.

If you plan to use load on demand, make sure there is nothing below anyone will try to reach, no text or links or even pictures, you will frustrate the visitor ;)

The rant I was inspired by probably did not do this but its what got me thinking.

    Absolutely!
    So many websites do this...
    Shouldn't this be something that a reviewer would see? Or the customer after completion.

    We always hand the customer a paper he has to sign after he reviewed the completion, so he can't blame us for missing/failing stuff afterwards.
