DOM visibility

[tristan]

Each time a page is displayed, the DOM is visible a few seconds

Euh... the only glitch I find is that the 1st (not each) time the workspace list or the workspace is displayed, the page is a bit messy until all dojo UI components are loaded from the Internet and the page arranges itself in the 'final' layout.

If this is what you notice, please let me know so I can close this tkt with 'won't fix', because I cannot do much about network delays and browsers rendering engines...

Thanks.

Yes that is the problem. One way to solve it is to use an element which contains all the others and which is not visible until others elements are ready to use. A classical example with Dojo is the accordion effect : the element is closed after construction so the user can see it open and then close. To avoid this effect, the solution is to hide the page until all the elements are ready (that's not only a download time problem).

The second way is to construct the DOM from javascript but this is an architecture totally different.

Implemented in svn rev 683. Thanks for your ideas Tristan!
