[xmljs-users] Re: Pevent hourglass from showing

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Soren,

I wrote a chat system awhile back using XML for Script that didn't have=20
this problem. Here's a general observation that applies to chat as well as=
=20
other animated client-side objects such as slideshows and scrollers.

Use object-oriented programming in your chat client. In general, I find=20
that the hourglass seldom appears when I use repeated calls to a JavaScript=
=20
object in a timing loop instead of ordinary function calls. Also, if you=20
have multiple concurrent setTimeout() and/or setInterval() calls running in=
=20
your document, create an Animator object to consolidate them.

Hope this helps.

James
