Our applications generate large HTML files (0.5M to 3M) that are designed to be previewed locally. I had expected these files to be progressively rendered (have the browser show the HTML content as its being loaded), but this does not appear to be the case for any of the top 5 browsers under Windows. When we try to load our files locally all we see is a blank white browser page until the page is fully loaded - no progressive rendering at all.
We have researched progressive rendering via Google and have followed best practice to maximize progressive rendering: - all CSS in head - all script at very end of body (we have no script) - no tables - all images include explict height/width via local style attributes - fully validated HTML via w3c validator (our's validates XHTML 1.0 Strict) I have googled this topic to death with many variations on 'browser (htm|html) progressive (render|rendering) local' and haven't found any clues. The evidence appears to be that browsers do not progressively render locally loaded HTML pages, but I can't find any 3rd party statements to backup that conclusion. Any ideas?
