Subject: RE: Help with Netscape 4.7
One thing we commonly do is render tables with _javascript_.
Create a _javascript_ function that draws (via document.write()) a table row
with all the dynamic bits of the row as parameters of the function. In your
table ensure that you use pixel spacers (maybe in a second row 1px high) and
the like to maintain the columns (as each row is a different table). Then,
when you want to draw the table just call the _javascript_ function with your
parameters.
Not only will this make it render faster as you are using a different table
for each row, but it will also significantly reduce the weight of the page.
(by virtue of changing all that table code printed many times, to lots of
low weight js function calls).
For an example (admittedly with only six rows per page) take a look at the
results list on http://www.usedvehicles.landrover.co.uk and the
f_drawStockItem() function.
