I wrote an online application that displays a large amount of data.
The problem is that with IE the page takes alot longer to display than on Firefox.
IE buffers the output until it is complete, then disaplays.
FF displays as it retrieves data.

How can I make IE behave like FF and display data as it is retrieved from the database?

- I am using PHP / apache
- I shut off buffering in PHP
 
Are you using table elements? If so, consider either breaking your data into smaller chunks, or try adding a style of "table-layout:fixed" to your table.

Hope this helps,

I dont understand, why would that help?
Yes I know that breaking the data down to smaller chunks will help but in this case the user needs to ctrl-f to search for thier data so using pagination will not help.

Do you know if there is an apache / php or IE setting I can change to stop this problem?
 
heres my code:

<table table-layout:fixed width="600">

Does not work. Help?
 
Hi

Dan assumed that you know the standards if you are writing online application...
Code:
<table [red]style="[/red]table-layout:fixed[red]"[/red] width="600">

Feherke.
