    Family +/- Causing Script Errors Again

    Issue Number:
    90
    Severity:
    Minor
    Description:
    I stopped having script errors after I turned off the corners, but after a few days I started getting new script errors for the family +/- in the documents. It freezes up my window for several minutes before telling me its a script error. I know its the family +/- images because they fail to appear when I choose the stop script option.

    You're meaning the active menu thingies in the document treeview?  Hm... I didn't write that code... it's an open source thingie...  It's pretty light/small, and I'd love to turn it off completely but unfortunately the book tree view looks ugly and needs clicked to open up the levels, resulting in complete page reload, if I don't use the script.  I'm not quite sure how to change it in any way to make it work better.  Maybe it's because the 25th anniversary document is getting so massive?  If so, maybe the script is a bad idea?

    I should add that I've modified/optimized the curvycorner script some. You should notice it crash much less, maybe not at all?  For one, I decided that every comment need not have them.  For large forums it was resulting in long script runtimes.  Some systems can handle the long script runtime, some can't.  I decided to err on the side of caution and remove the scripts from some content types.  Additionally, I have reformatted a few things so I can reuse the same div classes... I realized it was less of a burden on the curvy corner script to do it that way.

    Well... not only is the CurvyCorner script not writtin by me, but I can't find any way to improve the optimization any further.  I think any remaining issues regarding javascript is due to outside factors affecting bandwidth/etc.  When I use utilities to check on javascript errors, it shows that I have only one (and it's related to jquery - not at all related to any of the scripts you've had errors for) and that error isn't affecting anything.  I've enabled caching and improved performance quite a bit, but what remains I can't improve at my current level of programming expertise.  I've used those same performance/troubleshooting utilities at community sites such as myspace and wotc community forums, and they show the same levels of optimization.  At this point, I'm going to label this "Will Not Fix" but - like always - am looking for ways that performance can be enhanced.
