Hey all,
I just installed 2.0 today. I've been enjoying 1.1 for so long I didn't
want to change. :)
Anyways, I converted over a web project from 1.1 to 2.0. No problemo.
Then I noticed something very bizaare. Here's my short and simple CSS
code:
SPAN, #lblSailDate
{
width:100px;
text-align:center;
border:none 0px;
background-image:url(image s\horizontal_mi ddle.gif);
}
BODY
{
background-image:url(image s\topBack.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:50% 0%;
font-family:Arial;
background-color:#F5FFFA;
}
H1
{
color:White;
text-align:center;
position:relati ve;
font-family:Times New Roman;
}
#scrolling_div
{
height:70%;
overflow:auto
}
Basically, the web page displays a Repeater within a DIV with the
#scrolling_div attributes above. The Repeater contains a series of
SPAN's (which use the attributes above as well). My question lies in the
repeating of the background image in the SPAN's. The background image is
a simple 1kb image that is tiled. In 1.1 the page loaded very rapidly. I
believe that the 1kb image was sent ONCE and only once, then tiled on
the client side.
What's happening in 2.0 is that the 1kb image is sent EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Meaning it's loaded from the server every time it's tiled. Which in my
case, means about 5000 times. I'm getting really tired of seeing "3162
Items Remaining(Downl oading Picture.....)" at the bottom of the screen.
What gives? Anyone know how to stop this bottleneck?
TIA
