  1. If you have a serie of images you want to animate you can easily do it with UIImageView:

    UIImage *blur5 = [UIImage imageNamed:@"blur5.png"];
    UIImage *blur6 = [UIImage imageNamed:@"blur6.png"];

    self.imageView.animationImages = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:blur5, blur6, nil];
    self.imageView.animationRepeatCount = 5;
    [self.imageView startAnimating];


    I found this easier than trying to use UIWebView.

  2. UIWebView does not properly display all GIF content. You need to use a UIImageView, but the iPhone OS does not support animated GIFS and only displays the first frame.

    So you need to extract all of the other frames first.

    Crude example code here:

    It has a GIF decoder that you can use directly to get solution.
    I successfully used it. But it have some problems with transparency.

  5. one other option is to decode the gif in your application and then "frame serve" it to a opengl object, this way is less likely to run out of memory for large gifs

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
