Question

will it get “laggy” if i fetch 1 million link elements and put it in the DOM.

cause i want a navigation list on top..its kinda like the one Apple’s got on their site and you can scroll left or right with your keyboard. the only difference is that the center image will be get larger in size compared to the others.

the link elements will be like:

 <a><img src.../ ></a>

will it be a bad idea to have 1 million link elements in this scrollbar. cause i want all links (added by users) to be shown. what are the other possibilities?

and does anyone know these kind of animation plugins?

thanks!

Answer 1

the question is you won’t be able to do that

i did one stress testing on my site, loading plain text table 40k rows, one row 4 cells, each cell no more than 5 words …

IE crashed, Firefox managed to get out with 1G ram usage … takes forever to scroll …

so your 1M images is an mission impossible … too bad
