So, I'm reworking an interface that needs some updating on one of my apps. It's an internal app so I'm faced with the challenge of Flex or Javascript. I start looking into extending the tree control in Flex to include a checkbox and quickly step back with all the freakin declarations going on in the example code.
No problem, I say, I've already got a working tree with checkboxes in javascript. So, I decide to update the library being that I'm using an old version of prototype. The transition isn't painful and I like the syntax of jquery alot (later I find out that the version of prototype is going in this same direction). I add in a "modal" plugin, screw around with checkbox events (why doesn't a checkbox have an onchange event and why does the click() fire the onclick method before the change while clicking on the checkbox fires the event after the change), do a little formatting and voila! It works. Now to test in IE, load it up, everything looks good. Click....hmmmm......why is my browser suddenly running so slow....oh wait.....15 seconds later, it's registered my click. Must be a passing issue, I'll just click here now.........15 seconds later it's done the next function......hey now look, this slow mo modal dialog is really cool....if you're into special effects..... Suddenly, all those declarations don't seem to be so bad in Flex. zB "Bowel shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse, Assail him, impale him with monster truck force" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion is delivering applications solutions at at top companies around the world in government.
