Yes. Since IE6 gernerically shows a very unfortunate scaling effect for large object numbers, it is important to reduce object numbers in applications. Literal strings add to the total object number. Therefore string optimization that replaces all string literal automagically is a huge performance improvement. > I am wondering if it isn't quite unsafe to use string literals, since > when using constants a parser or validator could at least find > misspelled constant names. Yes, it is rather unsafe. Therefore I guess we will see some of the "useful" constants reappear someday. ;-) Andreas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
