Question

I am working on a project that allows users to view log files of their projects that are stored on the server.

To reduce the amount of requests made to a server, once a log file is requested I store it in an array, and then load directly from there if it is requested again.

The way I am loading it is by using $(‘#log’).html(text), and this causes a bit of a delay when I load the text into the div (It is about 65k of text).

Is there a better way to do this, or is this always going to cause some sort of delay?

Answer 1

If the log text is just text and not HTML markup, use .text() instead of .html():

$( '#log' ).text( text );

That should speed things up.
