Unfortunately the site is internal and I am not able to let you guys
get to it.
And what you said is correct. Some of the web pages are huge. One
has
eight tab pages with quite a bit of DOM in them. Another can have a
couple
of hundred elements that need to be displayed\hidden depending on user
choices. etc. etc. etc.
I do agree on smaller DOM trees, a user really is not able to tell the
difference and jQuery is so much easier to code.
