As you can see from the code I included, the performance hit has nothing to do with processing javascript or removing headers and footers. These happen after the blocking lines of code with 'iframe' calls.
The performance hit is really happening between these two lines of code. What I am suggesting is to look at how fancybox inserts an iframe. They are doing it in a way that is nit blocking in IE. I haven't made much progress but i will definitely let you know if I come across a solution when I revisit the issue. - Laurent On Sunday, June 26, 2011, Stephan Gambke <f.tr...@gmx.net> wrote: > Hi Laurent, > > Am 23.06.2011 15:55, schrieb Laurent Alquier: >> 1- Why isn't popupform based on fancybox, which is already included with >> Semantic Forms and doesn't seem to display this behavior in IE > > Well, it evolved and ended up in being very similar in function to > fancybox.
