It is useful to note that : "Some versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer will only start to display the page after they have received 256 bytes of output, so you may need to send extra whitespace before flushing to get those browsers to display the page. " and "Pad your output with necessary spaces, wrap your progressing data around open (<table>) and end (</table>) tags, and then call flush() so that one script will work for Netscape as well.
