I have an ASP.NET MVC page that has JQuery Editable Datatable that has 14 columns. I have a button (Apply No Findings)to do Client side calcultions snd apply for all Rows in tha
You can also consider HTML 5 workers
A web worker is a JavaScript running in the background, without affecting the performance of the page. When executing scripts in an HTML page, the page becomes unresponsive until the script is finished. A web worker is a JavaScript that runs in the background, independently of other scripts, without affecting the performance of the page.
Creating a new worker is simple. All you need to do is call the Worker() constructor, specifying the URI of a script to execute in the worker thread, set the worker's Worker.onmessage property to an appropriate event handler function.
var myWorker = new Worker("my_task.js");
myWorker.onmessage = function (oEvent) {
console.log("Called back by the worker!\n");
};
Alternatively, you could use addEventListener() :
var myWorker = new Worker("my_task.js");
myWorker.addEventListener("message", function (oEvent) {
console.log("Called back by the worker!\n");
}, false);
myWorker.postMessage(""); // start the worker.

The problem is javascript is single-threaded, so if there is a function that takes too long to complete, this function could cause the UI not responding. Therefore, the browser will warn the user about long running script by displaying the message: "Stop running this script". The solutions to this problem are:
setTimeout
to break the function execution into many pieces that are short enough.Example code pattern:
var array = []; //assume that this is a very big array
var divideInto = 4;
var chunkSize = rowCount/divideInto;
var iteration = 0;
setTimeout(function doStuff(){
var base = chunkSize * iteration;
var To = Math.min(base+chunkSize,array.length);
while (base < To ){
//process array[base]
base++;
}
iteration++;
if (iteration < divideInto)
setTimeout(doStuff,0); //schedule for next phase
},0);
The solution you take in your Example(2) is correct, but there is a problem in your code. That's the setTimeout does not run. Try changing your code like this:
RepeatingOperation = function(op, yieldEveryIteration)
{
var count = 0;
var instance = this;
this.step = function(args)
{
op(args);
if (++count <= yieldEveryIteration)
{
setTimeout(function() { instance.step(args); }, 1, [])
}
};
};
Modify your function ApplyNoFindings()
, try this:
if (++i > iTotalRecords)
{
UpdateSummaryLine();
UpdateSummaryLineReasonCode();
}
instead of:
if (++i < iTotalRecords)
{
ro.step();
}
else
{
UpdateSummaryLine();
UpdateSummaryLineReasonCode();
}
Note: not tested, just give you an idea how it should work
Despite another answer already accepted I want to place here general information for developers who will have this problem in feature:
By this link you can find information how to fix this from user side http://support.microsoft.com/kb/175500 - user can add one Registry key.
Also you can find there information about when this "Running slow" message appears:
By default, the key does not exist. If the key has not been added, the default threshold limit for the time-out dialog box is 5,000,000 statements for Internet Explorer 4 and later versions.
As you see slowness measured in javascript statements, not in time.
