loading is clunky from page to page
January 24, 2007 12:00 AM
We're using a tree TOC that appears when an icon is moused over.* So I'm not seeing every item in the TOC represented in the source code, and generally our courses are more in the neighborhood of 60 to 70 pages. So that shouldn't be slowing it down.On the other hand, when I look at the source code, there is a lot of stuff happening.
