Let's say you have a bit of a page like so: <lift:SomeSnippet.section> <foo:name/> <lift:SomeSnippet.section>
Now, let's assume that computing whatever is bound to <foo:name/> takes a long time (maybe it takes a network call, or a long database query, or whatever). You don't want to hold up your entire page view on that so..... <lift:Util.lazyLoad> <lift:SomeSnippet.section> <foo:name/> <lift:SomeSnippet.section> </lift:Util.lazyLoad> Then in your Util snippet: def lazyLoad(xhtml: NodeSeq) = { val id = "lazy"+System.currentTimeMillis() val (name, exp) = ajaxInvoke(() => { SetHtml(id, xhtml) }) <div id={id}> <img src="/img/ajax_spinner.gif" height="32" width="32" alt="wait"/ > {Script(OnLoad(exp.cmd))} </div> } Feel free to critique if there is a better way of doing this. It's working pretty good for me so far though. -harryh --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
