hi, <<plans of supporting Opera (yes it can be done) Really? Sounds interesting, dynamically adding nodes to the DOM? I have only seen API's using inline-layers working in Opera yet.
> Creating 1000(!) layers with HTML and set properties > 4000 ms - IE5 Sounds good, but we've had Dynapi experiments running at this speed too, but you have to keep stuff a lot more basic than now. Usually I optimize the DynAPI-based code I'm using for a certain application, by stripping out everything I don't need, that way you can get it a lot faster too. Way back when I made this treenode example, that builds a tree with 500 nodes with images (not 500 dynlayers though) It renders in about 1.5 seconds (see status bar) on my machine. http://www.richardinfo.f2s.com/dynapi/Richard_Examples/Treeview_Speedtest.ht ml The code is actually pretty shoddy, and I'd approach it differently now, but it shows you don't *need* 1500 dynlayers to make a 500 node treeview. The whole thing does give me the feeling that to get good results using any API, you really need to know the code thoroughly, it's not really end-user-friendly. Post a URL when you get your API online :o) Cheers, Richard ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bart Bizon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Raymond Irving" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, September 28, 2001 7:16 PM Subject: Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Speed Test!
