You could add onmouseover and onmouseout directly to the <tr>s. It's
ugly (don't tell anyone I suggested it), but it might avoid the
overhead.

You guys are all right, but so many rows on one page are necessary

I'll try to figure out an acceptable work-around.
Thanks

I'd have to agree. I can't see any practical reason why you'd need to
display that much data on one page. Aside from the download, and

horrible. Scrolling, copying, etc. would all be severely affected.

tables
Personally, I would recommend looking at a paging solution, rather
than
trying to deal with so many rows on a single HTML page.
I tested a simple 10,000 row table with very little data in it
clocked in at
a 2mb download, requiring 4 seconds to download and render as a
local file
on FireFox (i.e. no network traffic, loading the .htm file out of
my local
file system).
And the more DOM elements of the page the harder it is to
manipulate with
any kind of scripting.
If paging your results doesn't work for you, then the tr:hover CSS-
only
solution would really be the best way to go.

The solution i adopted was CSS (tr:hover) for non-IE6 and only
allow small
tables to have hover-over using a class name to identify them.
Any better solutions?

The following code works fine on small tables:
$("table tbody
tr").mouseover(function(){$(this).addClass("over");}).mouseout
(function(){$(
this).removeClass("over");});
But on tables with 5,000-10,000 rows, it throws the "A script on
this
page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop
the
script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script
continue."
Can anyone suggest a workaround?
Thanks
