[css-d] Horrible Lag time in CS3 Design/WYSIWYG View
I'm in need of an expert Dreamweaver CS3 engineer or guru to take a look at why my CSS layout is experiencing such a horrendous 1-2 minute delay/refresh time in the WYSIWYG. A sample page and its css files can be downloaded here: http://www.geocities.com/craiggivens01/cs3_lag_example.zip It currently only renders correctly in Firefox, but everything validates. I believe the problem has to do with the "modules.css" file and all of the modules being called in the middle of the page grid, but I really can't pinpoint exactly WHY CS3 takes 1-2 minutes to refresh every time I try to either : a) paste in new text content b) add a new in one of the modules c) create a new module by duplicating the existing div and its container grid Is it trying to re-calculate the widths of the grid? Is it the number of modules called in the markup? Is it the load time of multiple classes per div? Is it a syntax issue? I've been wrecking myself for days trying to fix this but nothing works. Any ideas are much appreciated! __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

You will most likely get a satisfactory response to this question directly from the source. You might also have a look at the CSS-D List WIKI off topic [2] page for additional sources that can answer this question directly.

:) I know many are WYSIWYG averse, but unfortunately I have to make this product WYSIWYG friendly. I have tried what you recommended already and had already identified modules.css as the problem. I've gone line by line but am stuck trying to understand how/why CS3 is interpreting this perfectly valid CSS so slowly. I've stripped out all the orphans, removed the comments, kept the bare minimum...but nothing works. Which leads me to think its the combination of classes or the width auto on the modules...but I dont know of any other way of re-writing these other than how they are currently set. :/ On Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 3:29 PM, css-d wrote: > > Craig Givens wrote: > I'm in need of an expert Dreamweaver CS3 engineer or guru to take a > look at why my CSS layout is experiencing such a horrendous 1-2 minute > delay/refresh time in the WYSIWYG.

I didn't have a chance to look over you code samples but shallow /
inspecific selectors can run slower than more specific selectors
So
li * {styles here}
will run slower than
li span,
li a,
li em {styles here}
At least that is the case with IE but its always special like that.
Perhaps dreamweaver is equally special
