TIP: Speed up you JavaScript code!

[MarcusJT]

Boost the speed of your client-side JavaScript with the techniques contained in this excellent resource on optimization:
http://home.earthlink.net/~kendrasg/info/js_opt/
(it even includes in-situ benchmarks!)

I know there are loads of other pages on the web with JS optimization techniques, but please don't post them unless they actually contain different information to the site above! (optimize your posts! )

Good tutorial on it:

Thanks jkd! That stuff is indeed worth knowing (and will become more important as Gecko-based browser market share increases)!

FYI, AOL is using Gecko now in the MacOSX AOL client.

Another step toward finally replacing IE in AOL/Windows with Gecko, which is when the market share will really jump.
