Jorn, I've created Progress Meters that worked in IE/FF before that used incremental page loads to update the meters--so I know it's not a FF issue (the code was non-jQuery related.)
However, I could see if your code is inside a <table /> tag or something where FF might have problems. -=Dan >-----Original Message----- >From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On >Behalf Of Jörn Zaefferer >Sent: Monday, April 02, 2007 5:44 PM >To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com >Subject: [jQuery] Dealing with incremental page rendering and ready events > > >Hi folks, > >I'm trying to solve a severe performance issue I'm experiencing in an >enviroment that heavily uses incremental page rendering.
