Hi there!
I've been dealing with some performance clean-up of a code of a web-
app that I wrote and I was wondering if jQuery does caching of the DOM
references. Lets say I have a function:
function myFunction(){
$('#foo').attr("bar");
}
I frequently refer to the function, so is it the case that each time I
launch it, the DOM is scanned for element with "foo" id? Or maybe this
reference is somehow cached?
If its not, then maybe doing something like this would speed up the
code execution:
function DomLinker(){
this.foo = $('#foo').attr("bar");
function myFunction(){
domMember.foo.attr("bar");
}
$(document).ready(
domMember = new DomLinker();
}
Please keep in mind that we talk about case of many executions of
myFunction
Please share your thoughts on this one.
Best regards
