Compressing ig_WebGrid_kb.js in WebResource.axd files?
posted

    Before I deploy my javascript to my prod web server I run it  through a compression utility.  Basically all it does is remove all comments, spaces, line breaks, etc.  You won't be able to read it once it's done, but hey I don't have to read it, the browser does.

    Anyways, I usually can get the JavaScript file about 30 - 50% smaller by doing this.  I was fiddling around with Fiddler for IE7 and I noticed that all of the javascript in the WebResource.axd files is not compressed.  Looking at the Timeline feature in Fiddler I can see that these resource files make up a significant portion of the overall load time and I am trying to think of ways to get my pages to load quicker.  

    Is there anyway I can change these js files to act more like my js files where I "compress" them by ripping away all of the extraneous stuff, thus making the file smaller and load faster?  For instance can I run through all of the files located in \\Server\C\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\infragistics\20063CLR20\Scripts?  Or does the Javascript in the WebResource.axd file get generated by dlls?

      Anyone know?

Thanks,
