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?
