Hi,
Some time ago benoit had suggested that we use the
createElement() function to create layers inside DOM
browsers. After hitting my head against the wall in
trying to prevent slow downs after with each newly
created layer, I've found the createElement() function
to be more efficient than insertAdjacentHTML(). I
don't know how well this will scale with nested
layers, but I think it's a more efficient way to go.
Please see the code below. Any comments?
Speed Test - 100 layers @ 170ms.
p._create = function() {
if (this.parent && !this.elm) {
DynElement._flagEvent(this,'precreate');
var elm, parentElement;
parentElement = this.parent.elm;
if(dynapi.ua.v<5){
parentElement.insertAdjacentHTML("beforeEnd",this.getOuterHTML());
elm =
parentElement.children[parentElement.children.length-1];
}
else {
elm=document.createElement('DIV');
elm.id=this.id;
elm.style.position='absolute';
elm.style.pixelLeft=(this.x||0);
elm.style.pixelTop=(this.y||0);
elm.style.width=(this.w||'auto');
elm.style.height=(this.h||'auto');
elm.style.backgroundColor=(this.bgColor||'transparent');
elm.style.zIndex=(this.z||1);
elm.style.cursor=(this._cursor||'auto')
elm.style.overflow=(this._overflow!=null)?
'hidden;':'';
if(this.bgImage!=null)
elm.style.backgroundImage='url('+this.bgImage+')';
if (this.bgImage==null && this.html==null)
elm.style.backgroundImage='none';
if (this.clip)
elm.style.clip='rect('+this.clip[0]+'px
'+this.clip[1]+'px '+this.clip[2]+'px
'+this.clip[3]+'px)';
else if (this.w!=null && this.h!=null)
elm.style.clip='rect(0px '+this.w+'px '+this.h+'px
0px)';
elm.style.visibility=(this.visible==false)?
'hidden':'inherit';
elm.innerHTML=this.getInnerHTML();
parentElement.appendChild(elm);
}
DynLayer._assignElement(this,elm);
DynElement._flagEvent(this,'create');
}
};
