Home › Forums › JavaScript › Animation totally sucks in Firefox
Hi guys,
I have been developing this for about a month and trying out different setups. What I have learnt so far that jQuery animation sucks and CSS also can’t handle well big transitions.
I came across GASP which improved performance somewhat, however not as smooth as the client expects and I also would like to achieve better result.
The slideshow is this one – http://zerobrainwash.com/sandbox/pixeleyes/?p=145 .
It works by simply animating change in absolute position. So if I click on next slide, the whole wrapper div will move to left so new slide is in the middle.
I know there are many more experienced people on this forum than I am so I would appreciate any kind of help or suggestions :)
As a food for thought, would it be feasible to try this as HTML5 canvas? Or there are some acceleration hacks which I am not aware of? Performance is especially bad on Firefox which is really unfortunate since that’s also the browser that the client uses.
Hi mtotie,
Thanks for your reply. I now also investigated further rendering and painting times of these images and realized that there is nothing I can do to improve them since this is simply how long rendering and painting of full-screen images takes. I guess Flash is still the best for such thing.
