Home › Forums › JavaScript › Jerky Animation
Hi All
This is my first attempt at using JQuery (thanks Chris for the tutorials that helped).
Everything that I have done seems to work but sometimes the animated image is very jerky; even when viewing it from local files. Is bad coding or the image size causing it?
Here is my test page

Any suggestions/help would be very useful.
Thanks in advance

try putting the animation inside:
// your animation
});
It might work better after the window has fully loaded everything, otherwise the browser is fighting for resources – and jquery(javascript) is all handled locally…
Thank you Robskiwarrior for your input. I have tried your suggestion but it hasn’t made any difference. I hope Iadded the window.load in the correct place!
The updated file (flyby.js) is now on the test site
Regards
You put it in the perfect place.
I would say then it’s just down to speed of computer. On this PC it’s hardly jerky at all, in FF and Chrome it runs really smooth – this PC is pretty old now (about 4 years) and wasn’t too hot when it was put together… (father inlaws PC lol)
One of the issues with javascript is that it is very user dependant – as it depends on system resources to load the animation. This is getting less as people’s machines get better and browsers get more efficient at handling JS.
So for me – it’s running smooth. :) It might just be one of those "things"
