AlexT,
if you looked at the source code issues that were pointed out from the evaluation, this amounts to poor and lazy coding. Why would you not use one coding convention, so that you are not creating these performance problems? This was not just about the semi-colon (;), its about much more. There are non-declared variables, against convention. There are variables that are used before they are declared, against coding convention, there is syntax that is just incorrect.

Yes it is a lot of work, see more and just by you saying that, you should realize that selling this product for the amount that it is sold for, is totally ludicrous. The code for the most part can be cleaned up, one coding convention should be used, strict adherence to the coding convention standard should be followed and enforced. Yes there is a lot of javascript within the dolphin application, and that is even more a reason that it should be cleaned and optimized.

The ability to compress the jscript is important for performance, not just bandwidth. JS gzip may as you state save bandwidth, js-minify, increases overall performance, and that is what is being sought after here is a performance increase.

The solution AlexT, is code convention standards, that would resolve the issue with the javascript. Yes its a lot of work, work that should have been done from the onset, and not released and sold as a functional product.

I will point out one issue that was annoying to me, the jscript for IE 5.5 and 6, now honestly, why is that source code still being used, do you know of one soul who is using Dolphin 7 and IE 5.5 or IE 6, doubtful.

at any rate Alex, time-consuming or not, these issues need to be fixed, else, the product should not have been released to the public if its not ready for public consumption.

Regards,
DosDawg
