[16:00] <bard> hi all, trying e4xd, it references a "Page" object, where would that be?
[17:22] <midnightmonster> (have to wait for zumbrunn--I've never used e4xd)
[22:08] <bard> just out of a looong debug session. e4x can definitely be tricky.
[22:37] <midnightmonster> what got you?
[22:40] <bard> I was creating a <dummy/> xml object and appending other objects to it, just to later get them as an XMLList. only by chance I learnt that you can create and populate XMLLists with l = new XMLList(); l += <foo/>
[22:41] <midnightmonster> yup. I found the tutorials inadequate. I downloaded the spec
[22:41] <bard> (of course before this I made all sorts of acrobacies to use arrays in place of XMLLists, since instantiating xml objects in rhino seems particularly expensive)
[22:41] <bard> oh well.
[22:42] <midnightmonster> have you found that your actual code runs too slowly?
[22:42] <midnightmonster> or just a lot slower than spidermonkey?
[22:43] <bard> just a lot slower than spidermonkey. except that avoiding creating that <dummy/> object does make a difference in rhino.
[22:44] <bard> but I suppose I won't need 1000 req/sec on the first day :-)
[22:45] <midnightmonster> gtg. my one completed helma site is the fastest-feeling site I've built, so I'm happy so far.
[22:45] <bard> cool
