AJax remote DIV flickering ...

[Giovanni Azua <gi...@imc.nl>]

hi all,

I have within a S2 self updating Ajax remote DIV a displaytag table that 
flickers terribly. Is there any cheap way to get rid of the flickering?

The showcase example also flicker slightly but when there is more 
content then it becomes really bothering.

TIA,
regards,
Giovanni

I think this is an interesting question.  Its inevitable that for a 
moment the content of the div will be replaced in the DOM and that may 
cause the browser to flicker.  I'd be interested to see if others have 
suggestions to avoid this.

Ensure you have showLoadingText="false" and no indicator within the 
target div.  Next I suppose you need to minimise the time it takes to 
render the new table. For instance, preventing dojo from parsing the 
result (albeit there's no built-in support to do this in struts 2.0.x) 
and ensuring any javascript blocks are at the end of the result.

My only other suggestion would be that you don't use displaytag at all 
and instead use an ajax table/datagrid that updates content only rather 
than the markup+content.

cheers,
