Hi Vennapusaravali,

More suitable for the Angular 4 repo, however if you checkout this JS file and add the script to angular-cli.jsons "scripts": [ ".../path/to/this/file/rAF.js" ] it should load correctly. More info can be found here.

Hello, can someone help me with a question in my website? I don't know where is the issue list, or who I can ask. My website is not working the parallax.js (http://memphisnet.com.br/3.0/)

Thanks advice

Hi guys,

Anyone know the answer to this question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52508261/do-we-need-to-clear-a-timeout-when-using-requestanimationframe-polyfill ? Would like to hear a professional opinion.

Thanks

I've been reading a lot of the comments but I am kinda bit confused now which code to be implemented.

Hello,

I just adapted Paul Irish's polyfill to work with high resolution timing automatically (when possible) and improved the performance a little bit.

It can work with the following window.performance.now polyfill: https://gist.github.com/jalbam/cc805ac3cfe14004ecdf323159ecf40e

Here it is:

	for (var x = 0; x < vendors.length && !window.requestAnimationFrame && !window.cancelAnimationFrame; x++)
	{

		window.requestAnimationFrame = window.requestAnimationFrame || window[vp + 'RequestAnimationFrame'];

	if (/iP(ad|hone|od).*OS 6/.test(window.navigator.userAgent) || !window.requestAnimationFrame || !window.cancelAnimationFrame) //iOS6 is buggy.

			var now = window.performance.now();
			var nextTime = Math.max(lastTime + 16, now);
			return setTimeout(function() { callback(lastTime = nextTime); }, nextTime - now);

	}
}());
