I'm anxious to see Flash get murdered as HTML 5, etc take foot but Very Versatile Electronic Document VVED is much better. It has out of the box functionality that requires dozens of jquery "plugins" and it even uses sizzle and peppy selector enignes. It's been developed from the ground up to take into account the abnormal stress modern day web sites or apps are imposing on the cpu.Anthony Alexanderhttp://novatvmedia.com/vvlinknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20715940.post-25548068250394103192009-03-11T10:21:00.000-04:002009-03-11T10:21:00.000-04:00i was not aware of this performance problem, thank...i was not aware of this performance problem, thanks for pointing it out to me. on the other hand, I've written several very fast (in ie 6) plugins using closures, and jQuery uses them, a lot. i haven't seen any problems with them. At least, i think its a good trade off between whatever performance you lose and the clean API that you gain.Mikhail Koryakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16832802200666472859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20715940.post-4906645202514124912009-03-10T06:56:00.000-04:002009-03-10T06:56:00.000-04:00nice post, but I do find the point about closures ...nice post, but I do find the point about closures slightly contentious. Closures are awesome, but if it's performance you're after in all browsers, should probably be avoided like the plague (Microsoft advise not to use them in IE, and most profiling demonstrates them as inferior to using a regular object). But they do keep your code tidyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
