Faster Javascript text replace
- by Stacey
Given the following javascript (jquery)
$("#username").keyup(function () {
selected.username = $("#username").val();
var url = selected.protocol +
(selected.prepend == true ? selected.username : selected.url) + "/" +
(selected.prepend == true ? selected.url : selected.username);
$("#identifier").val(url);
});
This code basically reads a textbox (username), and when it is typed into, it reconstructs the url that is being displayed in another textbox (identifier).
This works fine - there are no problems with its functionality. However it feels 'slow' and 'sluggish'. Is there a cleaner/faster way to accomplish this task?
Here is the HTML as requested.
<fieldset class="identifier delta">
<form action="/authenticate/openid" method="post" target="_top" >
<input type="text" class="openid" id="identifier" name="identifier" readonly="readonly" />
<input type='text' id='username' name='username' class="left" style='display: none;'/>
<input type="submit" value="Login" style="height: 32px; padding-top: 1px; margin-right: 0px;" class="login right" />
</form>
</fieldset>
The identifier textbox just has a value set based on the hyperlink anchor of a button.
