Hi,
Have a look at this bit of code from 8tans canvas stress-testing.
DynAPI.include('dynapi.api.*');
</script>
<script language="Javascript">
function dowork(){
var a=[];
var start = new Date();
for (var i=0;i<200;i++){
a[i] = new DynLayer();
DynAPI.document.addChild(a[i]);
a[i].moveTo(i*3,i*3);
a[i].setSize(10,10);
a[i].setHTML(i);
}
var end = new Date();
alert("took " + (end.getTime()-start.getTime()) + " milliseconds.");
}
</script>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<a href=javascript:dowork()>Start The Test</a>
Hope it helps.
Cheers,
Richard Bennett
