[jQuery] Intensive CPU + Animated GIFS
I have an intensive operation that occurs in my code, and when it does
animated gifs pause their animating. I tried wrapping the offending
code in a setTimeout(function(){...},0) with no luck.
Right now the basic code looks like this:
$("#gif").show();
//#bigtable has 1500 rows 4 columns wide
$("#bigtable tbody tr").each(function(){
//Search operation
});
$("#gif").hide();
The part between the gif show/hide takes 2-3 seconds, and I'd like to
show some motion in the UI while it's doing it's thing. I've also
tried wraping the .each() in a setTimeout() like so:
setTimeout(function(){
$("#bigtable tbody tr").each(function(i){
//Search operations
});
},0);
I have a feeling that pegging the CPU at 97% is just going to cause
the browser to stop animating the gif, but I wanted to make sure.
Thanks,
Josh
