When I enter in an large amount of text into a WebTextEditor in MultiLine mode my typing is slowed down considerably. Can anyone please tell me what the limitations are? I have tested this with an asp text box and the threshold for the ig control seems to be much lower. I was able to reproduce this on the ig sample site.
Thank you.
Hello neilfl,
I made some research on this and it seems that the behavior you have described is caused by browser limitations. Everytime a key is pressed, a number of javascript functions are being executed. These functions perform actions on the whole string, already entered. Subsequently for large amounts of text the control becomes less responsive. In such a scenario I would suggest using a regular html textarea which is not dependent on clientside functions.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Yea, I figured as much. Why in the word would they perform that much processing on every word in a multi line text field. There should be a way to disable the javascript with a property on the control. Do you know of any way to stop the javascript from executing?
Thanks for your assistance.
Neil
