This question is not looking for a solution to a specific problem, but is trying to understand why Safari is ineffective in this case. When I talk about much slower, the code works in Firefox and Chrome in less than 1 second, while Safari takes 30-90 seconds. This is probably already a documented issue, but I don't know why.
The situation is that I have a rather large HTML table. These are 1000-1500 rows with a width of 40 columns. The structure looks something like this:
<table id="myTablePlayers" class="tablesorter table table-striped table-bordered table-hover" style="overflow: visible">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>...</th>
<th>...</th>
<th>...</th>
<th>...</th>
...
<th>...</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="playerData">
<td>...</td>
<td>...</td>
<td>...</td>
<td>...</td>
...
<td>...</td>
</tr>
...
</tbody>
</table>
Several form fields allow users to select and enter information that helps filter out lines. JQuery looks like this:
function autoRank() {
rank = 0;
$("#myTablePlayers .playerData").each(function() {
if ($(this).css("display") != "none") {
rank++;
$(this).find('td').eq(colRank).text(rank);
}
});
}
function filterTable() {
minGP = $("#mingp").val()
teams = $("#teamFilter").val()
position = $("#position").val()
age = $("#age").val()
$("#myTablePlayers .playerData").show();
$("#myTablePlayers .playerData").each(function() {
toHide = false;
if (teams != "") {
if ( !$(this).find('td').eq(colTeam).text().toUpperCase().includes(teams.toUpperCase())) {
toHide = true;
}
}
if ( Number($(this).find('td').eq(colGP).text()) < minGP ) {
toHide = true;
}
if (position != "") {
if (position == "D") {
if ($(this).find('td').eq(colPos).text().indexOf("D") == -1) {
toHide = true;
}
} else if (position == "F") {
if ($(this).find('td').eq(colPos).text().indexOf("D") != -1) {
toHide = true;
}
} else if ( $(this).find('td').eq(colPos).text() != position) {
toHide = true;
}
}
if (age != "") {
column = Number($(this).find('td').eq(colAge).text())
age = Number(age)
if ( column < age || column >= age+1 ) {
toHide = true;
}
}
if (toHide == true) {
$(this).hide();
}
});
autoRank();
}
$("#teamFilter").on('change', filterTable);
$("#mingp").on('change', filterTable);
$("#position").on('change', filterTable);
$("#age").on('change', filterTable);
When I start to cut the code, a violation code that takes a lot of time, no matter what the inside of the loop seems to be, $("#myTablePlayers .playerData").each(function() {...
, vanilla JS, , .
