[jQuery] Re: cluetip IE8 very slow adding to table rows

[Karl Swedberg]

Not sure what's going on there, to be honest. I'll have to take a look  
as soon as I find some more time. It might just be that binding  
cluetip to a whole lot of elements won't work. I've used event  
delegation to get around this sort of problem with other plugins, but  
unfortunately I can't do it here without a complete re-architecting of  
the plugin and the elimination of the hoverIntent feature.

I don't think this will improve performance, but you could write your  
script like this:

$(document).ready(function() {

    $(".user").cluetip();

});

Hi there,

I've recently been using cluetip on a datable of about 400 rows.
Recently I tested this against IE8 and found it very very slow.

Doing simply the following:

$(document).ready(function() {

    $(".user").each(function(i) {
         $(this).cluetip();
     }
});

Basically for each row in my table (400 rows) it would attach the
cluetip to it.
In IE8 it would freeze the browser for a good minute, if I pushed the
compatibility mode button to run in IE7 mode it worked as expected.

In all other browsers it worked perfectly.

Is there something different going on with IE8?

Thanks in advance
