Hello Nick,
- Not everyone uses one of the "#1 fastest" browsers (heh, see what I
did there?). For those people, like me, when they go to the "Projects"
link, the page really comes across like it's hung or broken even
though it says "Loading...". And it really takes awhile. That needs to
be improved. Maybe shifting some of whatever processing is going on to
the server side
IIRC the slow load is because it is on the server side. Some scipt is
loading the full set of projects every time the page loads.
There's definitely at least something going on client side. Otherwise
there
wouldn't be that "Loading..." message that shows up at first and
dissapears
when it's loaded. Maybe it's just something trivial. But while it's
loading
my browser doesn't *seem* to behave as if it's waiting for content from
the
server...I really should take a look at that page source...
It basically consists of a div that says "Loading..." which is
replaced by the content loaded asynchronously.
Would it help if it had one of those spinny-wheel images? ;)
I've been browsing through the html/js code for that page. Looks it what it
does is asynchronously load an XML representation (generated by the server)
of all the project information and then, on the client-side, that XML is
parsed and used to generate the project list/links. Of course, I can't be
certain just from looking at that where most of the time is being spent,
client or server, but judging by the fact that I'm stubbornly holding on to
FF2 (yea, I really, really hate FF3, and I am really, really picky) and
nobody else seems to be complaining about the loading, I'd guess it's
probably mostly the client code that's taking all the time.
Also, a couple of the js files seem to have their entire content repeated.
Weird.
But I'm probably getting way offtopic now...
While we're off topic... Firefox 3.5 is released later today, you might
wanna give that a shot. That or switch to any other modern browser that
doesn't have known unpatched security vulnerabilities in ;)
