"Using WebWorker API"

HTML5 provides WebWorker API to perform JS operation on the background so that we can reduce the CPU time and work because some time JS create a web page as responsive due to the huge amount of work performed by CPU. 

In HTML "Worker" class is defined to perform JS operation on the background.

Here is a simple example for performing the heavy task in the background.

 <html> <head> 

 <script>
 var w=null;
 function callWorker()
 {
 if(Worker)
 {
 w=new Worker("demo.js");
 w.onmessage=function(event)
 {
 document.getElementById("res").innerHTML=event.data;
 };
 }
 else
 document.write("Worker Not Supported.........");
 }

 function stopWorker()
 {
 if(Worker)
 {
 w.terminate();
 w=null;

 }

 }
 </script>
 </head>
 <body onLoad="callWorker();">
 <h1>Welcome User........</h1>
 <h1><div align="center"id="res"></div></h1>
 <input type="button" value="Start Worker"onClick="callWorker();">
 <input type="button" value="Stop Worker"onClick="stopWorker();">
 </body>
 </html>

Demo.js

var i=1;

function count()
{
 i=i+1;
 postMessage(i);
 alert("Hello....");
 setTimeout("count()",500);
}
count();
