Thanks for this info. I eventually gave up on the metadata plugin in favor
of a global variable for holding my metadata. So instead of
$('#someID')[0].data, I now just do mynamespace.mydata['someID'].You mention breaking up the if statement to keep a function call from happening. Thanks to logical operator short-circuiting, all you have to do is move this.metaDone to before the function call, like so: if ( this.metaDone || this.nodeType == 9 || $.isXMLDoc(this) ) return; See here for more info: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference:Operators:Logical_Operators#Short-Circuit_Evaluation --Erik On 9/21/07, Diego A. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I've written a short article about Metadata plugin performance issues > in my blog: > > http://fyneworks.blogspot.com/2007/09/jquery-metadata-plugin-performance.html > > I was wondering what you guys think about it... > ...also might help people with the same problem. > >
