I am working with a script where I want to display data as it is processed. This particular process is going through around 15,000 records in a database and I am outputing a Table Row after each one is processed that shows Record #1 of 15000 has been processed, etc...
But, the page is blank. If I do a view source, I see all of the HTML, but none of it is being displayed in the browser until after the page is done processing. I am using Response.Flush after each record is processed. It is flushing the contents, but why isn't it displaying on the page?
Is there another way to do this with javascript maybe? Have a running counter on the page that I can update so it will read:
Record #1 of 15000 has been processed. (then the 1 will be incremented each time I process a record, by calling the javascript?) |

Quite possibly it is the browser’s rendering engine itself that is causing the bottleneck.
I believe many modern browsers will wait for the complete content of a table before rendering it so that it can get the proportions correct on the first shot (speeds things up) If that’s the case, you might experiment with breaking the table up into smaller tables?

| hadn't thought of that. I'll just get rid of the table altogether and display it differently. Thanks. |

It has to be set to True to be able to use Response.Flush.
The problem was just as Nathan said, once I took everything out of a table, it displays like it should. |

Had the same problem a couple of days ago, came to the same conclusion as you guys did and just ripped out my tables too.

OK. So it means that browsers won't be displaying the content until such time that it encounters the closing table tags such as </td>, </tr>, </table>?

But for some pages, it would mess up the layout, right? 
Sorry for my having a lot of questions today...

No, if the browser gets to the end of the page and it cant find the closing tags, it adds them. Netscape even adds them to the "source" when you click "view source" (along with a buncha other junk) It wouldn't case a problem, it would just mean that nothing inside that table would be rendered untill the entire page was downloaded. . .

I also wanted to do this as well, in a script. Think I will try this out.
