Javascript footprint and compression

Xedem,

I don't think Firebug can show the total bytes of the compressed size. AFAIK, only HttpWatch and some other commercial tools can detect the compressed size properly.

You can try to check using HttpWatch in Internet Explorer. If it works in IE, then it also works in other browsers that support content encoding.

Hope this helps,
James.

As per the documentation of webgrid, with client binding, the size of javascript footprint could be significantly reduced. And as i seen from another topic in this community, the code below could

<add key="ISNet.WebUI.ISRes_Compressed" value="true" />

reduce the data by enabling compression. But by checking YSLOW, i could see that the corresponding javascript and gzip format differ in size by a large and from firebug Net result i could see that total size is not altered at all. So i cleared cache, restarted the project and refreshed smartwebresources. No change at all. What i am doing wrong? Am using Webgrid 7.0 with SP1 installed. And what about the following lines

<add key="ISNet.WebUI.v3_0_5000.OptimizeCss" value="true" />
<add key="ISNet.WebUI.v3_0_5000.OptimizeCssName" value="true" />
<add key="ISNet.WebUI.v3_0_5000.GroupCssStyles" value="false" />
