It was just a suggestion on how the code could be improved (and a good
chance to work on my RegExp skills). Plus it involves a lot less code.
I would have thought performance may be a bit better (but probably not
that noticeable) due to using innerHTML rather than DOM manipulation.
This works a bit better than before (before it would not handle
whitespace at the end)
typeone = function(self, delay, text, content) {
var next;
if (text.length > 0) {
next = text.match(/(\s*?(<[^>]*>)?\s*?(&[^&]*;|[^<\s])|\s)/)[0];
text = text.substr(next.length);
content = content+next;
if($.trim(next) != $.trim(text)) {
$(self)
.html(content+'<span style="visibility:hidden">'+text+'<'+'/span>');
setTimeout(function(){
typeone(self, delay, text, content);
}, delay);
}
}
}
