HTML5 script element - async attribute - when (and how best) to use?

Can you confirm my understanding of HTML5's <script async> attribute?





  • Any libraries referenced by other code in the page should not specify the async attribute.







For example, my script references might appropriately look like:







<script src="jquery..." />         <!-- async not used - ensure that this is loaded before JQuery UI and my code -->

<script src="jquery.ui..." />      <!-- async not used - ensure that this is loaded before my code -->

<script src="my_code1.js" async /> <!-- async used, for page load performance -->

<script src="my_code2.js" async /> <!-- async used, for page load performance -->







  • For any code in a $(document).ready(function () { } block, I can be assured that all async script have already loaded.







Do I have this right?

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

By User
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

By User
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.
