I'm looking for some ideas on how to speed up the dragging in an app that makes use of the sortable library to create a very complex modifiable guide.
It's a two layer sortable, so the top layer is .sections, and the items in each section is a .items sortable connectWith: '.items', so there is a .item sortable inside each item node of the .sections sortable and any item from one section can be dragged to any other section. This by itself isn't too bad, but imagine that structure duplicated on the page so you really have 2 guides and 4 sortable definitions .sections and .sections2 which use ConnectWith to connect with each other, and .items and .items2 which are connected with themselves and the other items list. In addition, each of these items are not simple, they have a decent amount of html, some have images, some have flash, and they have off, rollover, and drag display strates. I've removed inner html from the placeholder and helper structures when in use, but I don't know if I should focus on trying to shrink the html as much as possible or if there is something completely different that I should be doing. To see exactly what I'm talking about: http://www.new.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=5563359759&ref=s Add the app, then click on create guide, then use the research wizard (it's the fastest way to populate the sortable structure). Create the guide for any subject like "Three Stooges". Then check a bunch of the section boxes on the right to add alot of items, then click create new guide in the upper right. You'll be dropped into the editor. This first page isn't too bad, but click the Clippad link over on the right, then try dragging stuff around, it is really slow. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery UI" group.
