Here's the problem I'm running into:
$$(".dealerAddress").invoke("hide");
takes too long because a very large page structure is loading, and
there are many dealer addresses, so my page shows everything, then
hides it, when it loads. Ew.
To fix this, I put .dealerAddress{display:none;} in my CSS style
sheet. However, when Prototype runs its show/hide functions (I'm using
"toggle"), it only seems to be adding the attribute <...
style="display:none"> or removing it. Which means that my style sheet
takes back over when it removes the attribute, and the tag ends up
never showing.
I fixed it by putting my style declaration inline in the tag, as
Prototype does, but I find this solution hackish and obtrusive. Why
doesn't Prototype toggle from <... style="display:none"> to <...
style="display:[inline||block]">? Wouldn't this solve my problem, as
the inline style declaration would override the style sheet
declaration?
If so, I'd like to propose it as an update. Discussion or alternate
solutions welcome.
Thanks.
(P.S. jQuery handles this situation without issue...)
