hi Dawson,

I have noticed the script is a bit slower under FF3. It may be related to the way the event model changed. For instance, before FF3, IIRC, if a piece of code does anything that triggers an event, that event will only fire once the code finishes; now, the event will fire instantly. That already caused an infinite recursion problem that I've fixed. I also implemented a way to mitigate performance problems that arise when the content is frequently altered (think DHTML-heavy sites like Google Maps). You should use the "Configure Table Floaters..." command and set a nonzero value for "delay after dynamic change". Try that first; if that doesn't help, you can post the URL here or, if you need privacy/confidentiality/whatever, contact me at ddawson at icehouse dot net. |

I find that floater seems too slow on one web page. I am using FF3 now.

Yes. Please provide me a test case, so I can see the markup that isn't working. In the meantime, make sure you understand how it's supposed to work:
I should also mention that this is a very FF-specific script. I don't use Opera, so I can't currently make scripts work with it. Maybe I should install it just for that reason. Anyway, please post a test page somewhere, and I'll take a look. |

Hi Daniel.. great idea for a script.. It's not working for me though.. on existing web pages, or a quick one I just wrote which has a plain vanilla table with thead and th row followed by regular tr td rows. I've also toggled the various config options you have Configure Table Floaters. any advise? |

Just discovered ad adverse side-effect. ("It's not a bug; it's an undocumented feature.") Floaters can appear on printouts, covering content. If in fixed-positioned-floaters mode, they appear at the top of every page; otherwise, they appear wherever the window is scrolled when the printout is sent. So now I need to figure out how to exclude print media. It's easy in a stylesheet, but when styling an element directly, it's another story. |
