It may be different for firefox but I use Internet Explorer (HTAs) for
my all night crunch sessions because it supports the ActiveXObject
"Scripting.FileSystemObject" which gives me access to my hard drive.
JavaScript is slow but I am hooked on its content addressable arrays.
To reinvent the facility in C++ just ain't worth the effort.
I actually prefer to break up long loops with a "setTimeout" because
it lets me place a progress message on the screen.
Instead of:
for (var i=0;poly[i];i++)
{
for (var j=0;area[j];j++)
{
whatever
}
}
You can do:
var i=0;
function BigLoop()
{
clearTimeOut(whatever);
if (! poly[i]) return;
for (var j=0;area[j];j++)
{
whatever
}
i++;
place something on the screen to report progress
whatever=setTimeout("BigLoop()",0);
}
....
