[jQuery] Cluetip delayed?
I'm seeing an odd delay before the Cluetip code fires. I'm wondering if
I have cluetip configured badly, or if the problem is elsewhere in my
code (most likely, but need to check...). Here's the Cluetip code:
$(this).attr("rel", "xhr/dayDetails.cfm").cluetip({
activation : "click",
positionBy: "mouse",
mouseOutClose: true,
sticky: true,
closePosition: "title",
ajaxSettings : {
type: "GET",
data: "e=" + eid + "&sd=" + dt + "&d=" + dt
},
onShow : function (ct, c) {
$("#dayDetailTip").children(".taskdetail:even").css("background-color",
"#fff");
$("#dayDetailTip").children(".taskdetail:odd").css("background-color",
"#ddd");
$("#dayDetailTip").children(".taskdetail").unbind("click").click(function
() {
var id = this.id.toString().split("-")[1];
task.edit(id);
$("#cluetip-close").click();
});
}
});
What I'm seeing is a 1 or 2 second delay before my Ajax activity
indicator (via .ajaxStart() ) shows up. SO, that would seem to mean
that nothing is happening for that 1 or 2 second period. I would assume
the Ajax via ClueTip would fire almost instantly??
I know it's only a second or two, but it makes the application feel
sluggish. The called Ajax page (dayDetails.cfm) already is doing stuff
with the database that incurs a performance penalty. So This delay just
adds to it. (And I'm looking at the SQL side of things to see if I can
speed it up. Not promising though - it's a non-trivial task).
If it helps, I do have the hoverIntent plugin loaded (as well as a bunch
more). I have tried setting the hoverintent delay to 0 with no effect.
Thanks for any tips.
