make .js file run as fast as possible

crmpicco · October 13th, 2005, 09:29 AM

I am looking for a way to make my .js file run as efficiently and as fast as possible.

I have taken out eval functions as well as put semi-colons at the end of each line.

Is there anything else that should be done to help the script run as fast as possible?

TIA.

Try running a code optimiser on your .js file to clear out whitespace. Here's a link to an online version:

do you know of any js resource hogs that i should avoid? does the page get read and executed quicker with whitespace removed?
