I have some code that looks like this:
var options = document.sform. files.options
for (var i = 0; i < options.length; i++) {
options[i].selected = true
}
As it loops you can see the options scroll by while IE renders each
one. For a couple hundred options this is okay, but I need to handle
up to 10,000. (Long story.) Is there a way to hint to IE that "hey,
I'm going to do a lot of these, wait until we're all done before
repainting?" Or is there a better way to speed things up?
Sample html:
<html>
<body>
<script language=javasc ript>
function selectall() {
var options = document.sform. files.options
for (var i = 0; i < options.length; i++) {
options[i].selected = true
}
}
</script>
<form name=sform>
<select name=files multiple size=10>
<option>foo
<!-- repeat option line a few thousand times -->
</select>
<input type=button onclick="select all()" value="select">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Thanks,
-Jonathan

I don't think you can prevent the repainting in IE, but you could try
hiding the select box, select the options and show it again - this would
give interesting results in IE, which AIUI you're only concerned with.
Other browsers wouldn't benefit from this approach though, you'd have to
use other techniques (for instance working on orphaned nodes) - or more
simply not have a select box with 10,000 entries (short story).
<script type="text/javascript">
var SelectOptions = (function(){
var selectObj=null;
var options=[];
function selectOptions(b Select){
selectObj.style .visibility="hi dden";
setTimeout(
function(){
for(var ii=options.leng th; ii--;)
options[ii].selected=bSele ct;
selectObj.style .visibility="vi sible";
},
1
);
}
return {
init : function() {
selectObj=docum ent.forms["sform"].elements["files"];
for(var opt=selectObj.o ptions, ii=opt.length; ii--;)
options[ii]=opt[ii];
},
selectAll : function() {
options[0].selected=true; //to speed IE
selectOptions(t rue);
},
selectNone: function() {
selectOptions(f alse);
}
};
})();
window.onload = function() {
SelectOptions.i nit();
}
</script>
<form name="sform">
<script type="text/javascript">
var buf=["<select name='files' multiple='multi ple' size='10'>"];
for(var ii=0; ii<10000; ii++)
buf[buf.length]="<option>fo o<\/option>";
buf[buf.length]="<\/select>";
document.write( buf.join(""));
</script>
<input type=button onclick="Select Options.selectA ll()" value="1">
<input type=button onclick="Select Options.selectN one()" value="2">
</form>
HTH,
Yep.

Ahah, I didn't know this one, it's a funny property:-)
I can't manage to make it work in regards of the OP's needs, though (it
seems that the selection is not considered as repainting, maybe due to
select elements being windowed controls - or my test cases being
completely inadequate, it's been time since I haven't programmed).
Cheers,
Yep.

A closing tag is required for option elements, perhaps that was slowing
you down. The following selects all options in about 2 seconds in IE,
Firefox takes about 20 seconds (your performance may vary...).
A do..while does not seem to offer any significant benefit in
this case (not to mention that I'd love to know the point of 10,000
options).
<form action="" name="formA">
<select multiple name="bigSelect ">
<script type="text/javascript">
var s = document.forms['formA'].elements['bigSelect'];
for ( var i=0; i<10000; i++ ){
document.write( "<option>Op tion " + i + "</option>");
}
</script>
</select>
<input type="button" value="Select do..while" onclick="
var opts = this.form.eleme nts['bigSelect'].options;
var x, i=0;
var s = new Date()
if ( ( x = opts[i] ) ){
do {
x.selected = true;
} while ( ( x = opts[++i] ) )
}
var f = new Date();
alert( (f-s));
">
<input type="button" value="Select for..length" onclick="
var options = this.form.eleme nts['bigSelect'].options;
var s = new Date()
for (var i = 0; i < options.length; i++) {
options[i].selected = true

Nope, closing option tag is optional in HTML, IE only understands HTML
of course.

Dang, I even checked the spec - but the 'option' link from the HTML
elements index takes you to the header for select, optgroup and
option so I actually read the requirements for select, not option.

I am trying to localize an existing application (asp.net 2.0). using

Asp.net 2.0 uses App_LocalResources folder for implicit localization. When

I've installed Bloodshed Dev-C++ on a Windows 2000 SP4 machine. I'm using

I'd like to temporarily disable standard functions to write to stderr, i.e.
for instance redirect stderr to a temporary file (or /dev/null but is there
an equivalent under Windows? Is it "nul:") and then to *restore* the
default stderr so that standard library functions that write to stderr
produce output again.

How can I temporarily disable vertical scrollbar?
I have replaced confirmation boxes and alert boxes with inlay popup DIVs. But while they are on the screen, I need to disable scrollbar of the page so that user may not access the main page (just like in conformation boxes).
Also I need to disable the main page leaving that popup DIV.
Scrollbar is the main issue.
How can I do it?
