[jQuery] Re: empty().append() slow

2008-11-06 Thread Karl Rudd 

Try making the selector more specific. So instead of $('.full') use
$('div.full').

 if I have a lot of elements inside div classfull.../div

 and then do $('.full').empty().append ('blah');

 it takes a long time. Is there a way to speed that up?

thanks Karl,

didn't make a difference. I suppose I'll have to preload everything
and show/hide things... ugh.

does empty() go through the entire element node tree and remove things
one by one or something? I kept thinking it just sets innerHTML=''.

It has to do more than just set innerHTML to a blank string to avoid memory
leaks. :(
