RE: [WEB400] CSS

Matt,

Thanks for the tip. Would the same overhead be involved in translating the
html template members? In other words, would I get a performance increase
by storing these templates in the IFS, instead of the qsys.lib file system?
I'd like to keep it consistent.

Thanks,

Mark

Mark,

Can you access your CSS files by URL in you browser? The fact that you're
using CGIDEV2 doesn't matter since it's the browser that actually requests
them (unless you're embedding the files in the HTML which just slows
everything down). If you're using the Apache based server, the error log
will tell you the location where it's looking for the CSS file.

Generally speaking, you'll get better performance if this file is in the
root file system and is stored as an ASCII text file. Under this condition,
OS/400 is able to send the file right from disk (or memory if you have
caching turned on and this file's in the cache) and out over the network
(this works under both HTTP servers). When you store in the libraries, the
file has to be read in a record at a time, converted to ASCII (unless your
file's there already), and then sent out over the network. There's a lot
more system code involved in this (not not mention CPU usage) and a lot
more disk IO (especially if the file isn't cached already). I don't know
how noticeable this is on newer hardware but the difference between the
libraries and root file system was dramatic when we were using a 50S for a
web server.

Has anyone been able to use CSS sheets that are stored as Qsys.lib members
with CGIDEV2?

Thanks,
