----------------------------------

Hey Adrian,

It looks good. Would the variable be better if it were parameters.compressHTML for the control?  That way it can be defined in the web.xml for universal webapp control, or overridden in the screen definition.

> Reduce OFBiz's HTML output so that pages load faster on dial-up lines.
> Three things can be done to achieve that goal:
> 1. Reduce HTML code through better use of styles (currently in progress).
> 2. Eliminate the language selection code that is sent out with every page request. Intead of having a selection box in the header, just display the currently selected language and provide a link to change it. Clicking on the link could produce a language selection popup window - similar to the current lookup windows.
> 3. Freemarker has the <#compress></#compress> directives which eliminate unnecessary HTML white space. A recent test showed the directives can yield a 33% reduction in markup. Problem is, that only works if the directive is placed in every FTL file. There needs to be a way to make that a global setting in Freemarker, so that ALL markup is reduced - without any additional FTL coding. I looked around the Freemarker website for a way to do that, but couldn't find anything.
