Serious problem - need help

Hi,

I am developing a web based application. I am using html for front end design.

My problem is: If the page is overloaded with data(contains more data) then loading time for such pages will be more in IE but not in Mozilla.

Anyone Please tell the reason for it.


Thank you,

I'm not sure what you mean by overloaded with data, but Mozilla is a faster browser than IE anyway, isn't it?

I've seen this with a couple of sites I've worked on. IE seems to want to have the whole page downloaded before it will begin to render, whereas Moz starts rendering right away. I don't think there's much you can do about it, unless you're dumping tons of data from a database, then you might consider paging through the result set.

IE waits for the entire page to be downloaded locally, or waits for an instruction from the website to begin loading. Other browsers (FireFox included) display the page as it is downloaded, downloading the text first, then filling in the images. You can bypass this in ASP by flushing the buffer, see this link. You can also do it in PHP using flush() or ob_flush(), see this link.

Thank you very much.
