Greetings All,
I am doing further studies on the
setTimeout/setInterval methods. We know that ie uses
multiples of the minimum timeslice when above that
value and that NS will use close to the set number
when above the minimum. Further, win9x systems use
55ms as the minimum timeslice and we have
documentation that NT uses 10 ms (someone want to
verify this?).
Looking for info on the following:
Mac, Both Browsers Min timeslice and how it sets the
timing above the minimum.
Linux NS minimum timeslice and verify it uses close to
the set number when above minimum.
Win9x, Opera or Mozilla 0.7 verify the minimum
timeslice is 55 ms and determine what it does when
above the minimum.
This test is easy and can be run from the web page for
the purposes here.
1. run the test with the default values a few times
(samples 100 settings 1) Average the results, they
should come out very close.
2. set the settings to 75 hz and run the test again.
It will either come out very close to the number or at
a multiple of the minimum (from test 1)(example under
nt, a setting of 75 ms should come back at 80)
3. set it to 85 and rerun the test.
4. average your results for each test and report the
result for each back here.
Wasn't that easy? <g> Seriously though, I think we
need to understand how this is affecting our
programming. I am working on an example that times
the slide of a layer, the calculations in which will
be the basis of a mod to thread that gives uniform
animation cross browser. Also, I want to post a
reference with the information.

I was not sure whether to post this here or in the
help list, but decided on here since it is programming
info.
