Rails spinoffs - Jul 2007 - Scriptaculous blind animation jerky when DIV contains a lot of content

Hi
I have set up the following example to illustrates the problem I am
having with scriptaculous.
http://www.webmaint.com/scriptaculous_demo.html

You will notice the animation is very jerky and looks awful in
Firefox, and it just about passable in Internet Explorer
I presume this is because of the way the browser renders the data in
the select boxes.

Is there any work around that could create a smoother animation.

Thanks
Rob

Very interesting demo Rob,  I tried giving the content box a fixed
height to help the animation calculate things and it will still
incredibly slow.  I have used Slide effects on objects that had a lot
more content than what is in your demo and still had better results.
I think the true problem lies in rendering the select boxes or maybe
the table you should look further into that.


Cheers,
        Matt

Thanks for your reply matt,
I think your right, I''m going to try at a loading the select boxes into
the
DOM after the div has finished animating.

Thanks again
Rob

I am most curious to see where this goes - I am working on a project
which has me rendering many many divs - and then trying to drag them.
The performance is OK - but choppy quickly and in FF very quickly
loses all semblance of a smooth render.

I can see the case for the selects - as well as the fixed height, I
don''t have any selects - and I have a fixed height, is there anything
else I can do?

Much obliged all,
~tim
