RE: [KCFusion] Rendering large HTML tables
I think that IE & Netscape both wait until an entire table is loaded in html to render it. One way around this, assuming you need to have your data in a table, is to come up with a way to start and stop your table. If you can use a counter in your loop that generates the table, for each , add one to the counter, then, have an if statement in the loop that does a . This will make multiple tables on your page, but I believe the first one will render while the rest are loading into the browser. Also, if you are using CFMX (and CF5?), you can use the cfflow or similar tag to dump your server process to the client. You may be able to do this if the server side generation takes a long time too.

Use flexible layers, the layout faster, code is meaner and
leaner.

[KCFusion] OT: Rendering large HTML tables
Does anyone know of anything that will make table's render faster in IE 6.0? Someone else is asking me for help on this one (he is my source for dba/sql issues and in return, I answer layout/usability issues). Here's the problem... "I've got a lot of tables that are absolutely huge, and it'd be worth my while to tweak the HTML so Explorer will render it as soon as possible (IE seems to insist on rendering the entire table at once, I can't seem to convince it not to), and as fast as possible (total time it takes to render). I'd prefer a solution that gets the first 50 rows on the screen over one that shows all 500 rows 5 seconds later if that makes sense." The best answer I had was to break the table apart every so often. But the concern is that the columns might not line up properly. For usability issues within the company, the table must be relative to the window's size and the fonts are controlled by the user. I have suggested also putting relative width's on all the table cells, but sometimes when the font gets too large, the cell expands to the content and the sizing can be lost (at least this is the case with the some of older browsers we work with). At our company we must be cross browser compatible and can restrict font sizes, and I can't think of any IE 6.0 specific fixes... any other (better) suggestions?
