[regression] Reduce measurements in the grid

Reported by: Kris Zyp Owned by: Bryan Forbes
Priority: high Milestone: 2.0
Component: DojoX Grid Version: 1.3.2
Keywords: 14open Cc:

Description

One the primary performance bottlenecks for the grid is the extensive measurements that are performed for laying out the rows/cells in the grid. Measurements are extremely expensive operations (because they require the browser to layout the DOM and compute widths and heights). I believe the grid could be much more efficient and fast if these measurements could be reduced.

I am attaching a patch that caches some measurements where possible and introduces a new property on the grid, "rowHeight", which can be used to set a static height for the rows. This property can be set and provide a means for eliminating the need for many of the height measurements that take place during rendering.

Milestone: tbd → 1.4

for the unpsychic, this was fixed in [19976]

also, please set milestones on tickets marked as closed.

Any idea why the changeset didn't connect to the ticket?

comment:5 Changed 11 years ago by dante

@kzyp - no, but sometimes we "lose sync". Always a good idea to doublecheck. You would have received an email presumably showing the resolution change had post-commit done it's work.

Summary: Reduce measurements in the grid → [regression] Reduce measurements in the grid
Type: enhancement → defect

I went revision-by-revision and as of [19976], DataGrids? in TabContainers? stopped appearing entirely in Safari 4 and FF 3.5.

  1. Go to ​http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/dojo-2009-08-29/dojotoolkit/dojox/grid/tests/robot/_DataGrid.html
  2. Click the "Markup structure" tab

You do not see a DataGrid? in the tab! IE8 is unaffected by this bug.

comment:13 Changed 8 years ago by bill

DojoX Grid and EnhancedGrid are deprecated in favor of ​dgrid and ​gridx.

You should upgrade your code to use one of those two grids.

We will consider patches to the old DojoX Grid code though.
