that's actually exactly what it is. it's a report that gets displayed online. It's offered in both tsv and html format. but right now, we're having alot of problems with the time it takes to send both to the client html is actually worse than the tsv method by almost 10xs. Even so, i'm trying to find ways to send the tsv faster as well but that doesnt appear likely (how much faster than setting contenttype to excel and sending a String to out can u get??). -Tim

IE does that, I'm not sure about the latest versions of Netscape. The reason it takes so long is that the browser needs to make a lot of decisions and rendering calculations to figure out how to display the table "correctly." It can't do these until it's seen *ALL* of the data. For instance the width of the columns could be affected by the amount of text you have in the last row of your table. You don't need to use javascript to do this. AFAIK the XSLT should work out of the box. By the way, why do you need to handle this many rows? The only reason that I can think of that would justify this exercise is if you need to print a report.
