Wow, this looks really handy! I'd be peeing my pants if it weren't for one problem: it can be really slow. When your code manipulates the page- DOM, it crawls. The MultiplicationTable demo with a 10x200 table (which is small!) took 3.45 seconds to render on my P4-2.6ghz w/ dual-channel PC-400mhz DDR-SDRAM. Let me stress that this is a 200 row table. :) This could be a very bad thing if you were manipulating the page-DOM a lot in your code. Just out of curiousity, why is manipulating an XML-based DOM so slow? The thing is just a hierarchy of dynamic objects, isn't it? Those should be fast... :\ ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
