IE 8 Crashing Problem
Hello Everyone,
Here\'s the situation:
two iSeries boxes - Dev and Prod both V5R4M0
We\'re using AJAX to dynamically load content using a tabbed...
In Episode 25, we chat about IE 8, standards, Acid3, server side JavaScript, and more.
Who are the ajaxians? Find out.
Please contact us at . We would love to hear about any news that we could put up here.
We have individual blogs too:
Way to go, Jack!
Great News!
Cool!
The time perios selection needs a progress bar, otherwise the user feedback is too long…
Looks pretty slick to me. Ext is a really fun library.
A bit slow but otherwise looks cool and attractive!
It’s so slow that it’s almost unusable. This may go as one of the examples of AJAX done wrong.
It looks nice. However, there is a performance hit when using a big library such as Ext. JS
Website is too slow to use. What was Dow Jones thinking?
They could have gzipped the source or something, thats not Ext’s fault. As for the performance, I dont see the slow down..
super slick. Ext JS is personally my top choice among all similar frameworks out there. We will use that soon, really looking forward to achieve similar functionalities.
Ext JS is so sexy! And as others have pointed out, one should definitely gzip the source when using Ext JS :)
For the first time in 2 years, i can’t wait for ‘something’ 2.0… ExtJS2.0 looks so promising. Congratulations Jack.
Definitely looks great, but takes a long time to load and heavily chugs my cpu in certain cases (especially when the modal window is popped up).
There’s a problem with the “modal” dialog (one that probably affects most of the widget libraries) – it isn’t actually modal I can still navigate by tabbing through the links on the page… but it is good to see these types of widget toolkits in the main stream.
Well, the combined load ext is adding to the download is around 140kb. Those of you with firebug may want to check the network tab. The site could definitely use more use of css sprites to cut down on the requests for a single page load.
The data appears to be loaded after the initial page load. I imagine it’s a lot of data processed server side (being the dow jones index) so you’re going to have to wait for that too.
They’re also returning the data in XML. Ext has great support for JSON which would cut the amount of data sent back by the server.
Overall, it looks nice. It’s a good example of Ext. And I bet they could cut load times a lot by optimizing their pages more.
Ext has a known slowdowns with Fire Bug enabled. Disable it and it should speed up!
