[jQuery] Re: jQuery too slow on IE!!!
If speed is paramount to your project and you still want some some abstraction/cross browser functionality, you can checkout some other libraries out there. Here's some comparison on how they perform. http://dante.dojotoolkit.org/taskspeed/ On May 12, 5:42 am, Chandan learningbychan...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I recently started using jQuery, thinking that it is FASTER than usual javascript, but i found it is too slow when used with IE.

You will also struggle with css selection if you are using ie6, there are major compatibility issues. I would recommend you just testing your site on ie6 to see if it degrades well on ie6. I wouldn't count on ie6 being able to handle any new features. Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 03:59:58 -0700 Subject: [jQuery] Re: jQuery too slow on IE!!!

[jQuery] Re: jQuery too slow on IE!!!
That's quite a loaded statement. jQuery is actually optimized for IE as it's still the largest share of the browser market. So jQuery is not inherently slower on IE than on other browsers. Now, having said that, it's possible that YOUR code could be slower on IE than on Firefox, but as you didn't post an example link we can't test it, or examine your code. Care to do that?

I am using IE 6/7. jQuery is written in javascript, therefore it is unlikely that any jQuery function is faster than an equivalent plain old javascript (POJS) function. Some code snippets using jQuery are very much slower than their POJS equivalent, though the jQuery code itself might require fewer characters to type. It trades off saving a few minutes of writing code for a lifetime of slower performance (where lifetime is the life of the code). -- Rob
