jQuery & ProBoards

[Aaron]

I just like picking on you.

jQuery Category Splitter

Category Splitter

I can break it down line by line, but it's obvious to anyone with eyes.

That uses the jQuery category splitter I just coded, and the speed at which it loads is rediculous fast!

The reason why it is so speedy is because jQuery is a wrapper for querySelectorAll (native to the browser). Sizzle (the selector engine) will only ever be needed for browsers that don't support querySelectorAll. querySelectorAll is supported even in IE8, however it can't be used because it's not supported in quirks mode (any ProBoards forum falls back to quirks mode).

I've been playing with querySelectorAll for a while now, and I hope that ProBoards v5 markup is more standard which doesn't force IE into quirks mode, that way all future v5 codes will be better of performance wise if people learn to use it, or learn jQuery.

I've implemented querySelectorAll into my new code, so far I've been impressed with the speed compared to regular DOM traversal methods.

I'll be sure to have a read through your new code when you either release it or open it for Beta/Alpha testing!

I might learn some stuff!

I don't have many browsers at my disposal, but i've noticed--at least with the specific examples that w3 provides--almost contrasting performances between Opera and FF concerning regular traversion and querySelectorAll. Any insight on that?

[Michael]

If the user is using a browser that doesn't support querySelectorAll, does it fall back to anything, or does it simply ignore it?

Ultimately, it's not ideal to be using for coding now if that is the case, as so many people don't use IE8/others.

V5 already includes, and makes use of jQuery. If people learn to how to make good use of it now, it certainly wouldnt be the worst thing in the world

Good to hear. Is it going to be hosted locally on PB servers or externally on Google Code, etc.?

Cat solitudes won't be needed in v5 because of the nature of the template engine

And this is why i shouldnt let my iPhone automatically change spellings for me haha

Probably google code unless we have our own CDN system running at that point.

It falls back to Sizzle.
