I'm currently fighting with Internet Explorer's (IE7) javascript performance issues, and struggling to find good information on improving performance, whether it be for a specific browser or in general.
I think it will be helpful to all of us to have a link/tips/hints collection on improving JavaScript performance. Feel free to post what you think will be helpful to the community!
Some links to start:
- IE & JavaScript Performance Recommendations, MSDN (Part 1)
- IE & JavaScript Performance Recommendations, MSDN (Part 2)
- IE & JavaScript Performance Recommendations, MSDN (Part 3)
- Benchmark - W3C DOM vs. innerHTML (Shows IE bad performance on DOM)
Enjoy -- I hope this will be helpful to many developers to come. Please post especially the niche tricks you found out about after chewing on a problem for hours. They're the ones most likely not well documented yet & the most exciting ones!
