Page Size using Tab Panels/General Performance.

[cgrohowski]

Hello,

I am currently in the final phases of development for a project utilizing RichFaces (currently using 3.2.2) that employs tab panels. The issue we are having is the size of the pages that are being generated. Each page is > 100K (just the source not including the included source files, but they can be cached so it's not a big deal). Is there any way to somehow reduce the size of these pages, to compress the generated javascript on these pages or anything else that can reduce the size and increase performance (my boss is not too happy with the results so far). We have a requirement of IE6+ only, so anyone who's tackled a similar problem, your input and/or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello,

What about making page more AJAXified, is that a variant for you?

Yeah, I was afraid you were going to say that. I think that will have to be a subsequent phase of the project since the project is already late and we're under the gun with bug fixes, etc. I had tried to go down the AJAX route, but I have a lot of custom javascript on my pages, and after an ajax call I get a "object does not support this property or method" error when accessing a drop down and button (I dynamically create a table on a page using javascript and on initialization I call .click() methods and what not).

Thanks for your reply :)
