Question

I am putting together a page displaying a user’s tweets whilst visualising the amount of time in between in the way of blank spaces. Three blank space represent one second of inactivity between tweets. Confusing, I know. You can see from my code – http://jsfiddle.net/k5234/2/ – that I have written the individual  s into a for loop, but this is proving to be a very inefficient way of programming the page (as you can tell from the load speed!)

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can structure the JS better to make page loads quicker whilst keeping the same functionality.

Thanks,
Dalogi

Answer 1

Sounds like a job for css padding/margins. No looping needed, just figure out how many px/ems it is for each second and you have a gap.
