What browser are you using? I use chrome and it runs his map like a charm including the scrolling. If you use internet explorer then you had it coming lol

Im using Firefox 17.01. Although ive noticed IE has improved a lot recently - doesnt seem so far backwards now.

Very true, IE has come a long way. I would say switch to chrome, great loading and network capturing for debug ect. Everything about it just feels efficient and it is supported by google which means support is top of the line.

Well to be honest im happy with FF - at one time it was greatly superior to IE, okay they closed the gap but still FF has done everything ive asked for, so I dont see why I need to change browsers atm. However if your saying the map issue is browser issue, then its not so bad. Just thought ill let you know encase.

I use FF whenever I'm developping anything. The developer tools in Firebug are just brilliant. And I'm not getting any issues. I'll keep looking at it though, there are definitely ways to make it more efficient.
Not inclined to test for IE, because that'd mean using IE.

hmm.. well just checked in IE and it does scroll smoother but I wouldnt still class it has smooth. Its like the map is being re-drawn when scroll rather than simply scroll around an image. However it would be nice to hear how smooth it is for others, maybe ive got some old driver or something somewhere, slowing things down?

Ok, so I figured out what's causing the lag in scrolling.
I'm not sure I have the correct solution, but I have a make-shift solution until I figure out what the correct solution is.
There's still an initial jutter when you start dragging, but after that the dragging is smooth.

Think that's that fixed.

Woh, that seems much better - what did you do to make it so much faster?

Initially, each sector was a group of objects being added to the draggable layer. One for the sector itself, one for the name of the sector, one for each gate leading out of the sector, one for each of the special stations.

Rather than add each sector part individually, I added them to a group and turned the group into a plain old image and added that to the layer.

This reduced by the number of things on the draggable layer from ~1200 to one per sector which reduced the amount of work the CPU had to do to pan them.

Ah, I can imagine it would make a difference. I guess some browsers might of seen what you were doing and kind-of cached it, hence why some ran smoother. Its much better now Smile

There's also mouseover events now for highlighting things in sector map from the menus on the side or vice versa.
I'm working on the search stuff. The API is all written, I just need to implement getters and setters for the AJAX and it'll work like nobody's business.

I am indeed. The tomcat server seems a little unstable. Am troubleshooting best as I can.
