I provided a patch about 8 months ago to improve the performance of the core height and width and dimensions inner/outer[height/width] methods.
http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-dev/browse_thread/thread/a4becc9a5cc34fea/ I put together a test page to help make my point... http://dev.helgeson.info/dimension/ I average the following results using FF3/XP... (percentages of the unpatched method time) height & width ~ 73% innerHeight & innerWidth ~ 44% outerHeight & outerWidth ~ 19% outerHeight( true ) & outerWidth( true ) ~ 32% I updated the patch to be compatable with 1.3.x http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/3082 In addition to being more efficient, the methods also simplify the API by overloading the height/width methods. By passing in a string ("padding" or "border" or "margin") you get in return, the dimension through that property. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
