Animations can now be synchronous. http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/3495
I tried the $.fx.sync option and it's like +15 bytes and works perfectly. I renamed 'sync' to 'off' to avoid using complicated terms (though it's used by $.ajax). This means that if you do: jQuery.fx.off = true; All animations become synchronic. http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/3496 Won't commit yet, in case someone wants to say something :D -- Ariel Flesler http://flesler.blogspot.com/ On Oct 8, 8:07 pm, Ariel Flesler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I think this is wrong. > What if I get into a page, while a have a lot of programs running on > my fast computer... > I get a cookie that says "you're slow", so I get to see mediocre > animations for good (until the cookie is cleaned) just because I had > some overhead once. > > I think we could make a plugin that overwrites the animation system, > making it lite.
