translate3d vs translate2d vs translate XY vs css left/top vs scrollTop/scrollLeft vs matrix3d vs matrix (v107)

Revision 107 of this benchmark created by Bryan Crow on

Description

All cases with pre-calculated vendor prefixes (now including IE)

Preparation HTML

<div id="scrollTranslator" style="width:96000000px; height:200px; overflow: hidden"><div id="elem" style="position: relative; background:#ccc; width:1000px; height:1000px;"></div></div>
<script>
  var translator = document.getElementById("scrollTranslator");
  var elem = document.getElementById("elem");
  var style = elem.style;
  var setTransform = (style.WebkitTransform) ? function(transform) {
    style.WebkitTransform = transform;
  } : (style.MozTransform) ? function(transform) {
    style.MozTransform = transform;
  } : (style.msTransform) ? function(transform) {
    style.msTransform = transform;
  } : function(transform) {
    style.OTransform = transform;
  };
</script>

Teardown


      setTransform('none');
      style.left = '0px';
      style.top = '0px';
      translator.scrollLeft = 0;
      translator.scrollTop = 0;
