Hi,
We need to generate a huge HTML page (only TABLE/TR/TD structure), for
a size of 5 Mo. The problem is when IE receive this html source, it
try to build a DOM with it. As result, it could be very long to
display the HTML page to the client.
Could we disable the DOM construction in IE?
Thanks!

If you disable scripting in IE then it does not build a DOM.

Thanks but we don't want to disable Javascript for all the pages in our
site, but only for this specific page...
Thx

I find this statement interesting. Is it documented?
If I disable scripting (set Security Level high under Tools/Internet
Options/Security/Local Computer - this is with IE 6 under Win XP Pro,
SP 2) for the local computer and open the following c:\tmp\delme.ht m
file then the second text shows black, consistent with your claim:
<html><head><ti tle>DOM test</title></head>
<body>
<div style="color:bl ue" id="mydiv">Hi mom</div>
<div id="div2"
style="color:ex pression(docume nt.getElementBy Id('mydiv').sty le.color)"Hi dad</div>
</body>
</html>
However, if I introduce delme.vbs as below, then the second text will
be colored blue, too. This doesn't necessarily contradict your claim
because it may be VBScript that is building the DOM, but I am mighty
suspicious because it is IE that is doing the rendering. How say you,
Martin?
set ie=createobject ("InternetExplo rer.application ")
ie.visible = true
ie.navigate2 "c:\tmp\delme.h tm"
while ie.readystate<> 4: wscript.sleep 10: wend
set div2 = ie.document.get ElementById("di v2")
div2.style.colo r = "blue"

Specially for such cases (more precisely - for their databound tables)
Microsoft has table-layout style attrubute.
So if you set table style:
table { table-layout: fixed}
IE will display new row as soon as it has data for it. By my
observation (not microtimed though) in this case the display speed is
proportional to the data stream speed.

No, I was guessing and should have said so.
And your thinking that while scripting inside the page can be disabled
nevertheless someone might automate IE with script from the outside is
correct and therefore you are right, the DOM is build nevertheless as it
looks.

In principle a web browser must have an internal (software)
representation of the HTML just in order to display/present its
contents. Given modern software design the odds have go to be good that
that representation is a collection of co-operating objects (probably
C++ objects) that represent an object model themselves. The question
would then be the extent to which the object model that interacts with
scripts was something separate from (or parallel to) the object model
that the browser employed itself, or whether scripting just exposed an
interface to that object model. In the latter case the scriptable object
model would always be there regardless of whether it was scripted and in
the former case its creation may not be necessary whenever it could not
be scripted (but there would be no way of knowing/testing).
Given a sufficiently large page, and particularly a sufficiently large
table, I would not expect much improvement in load/display time to be
apparent either way. Working out just the layout for a table is a long
way form being trivial (worse if the browser is attempting progressive
rendering), and there must be some representation of the table in order
to do so.
Richard.
Thanks guys,
But we have already save the HTML page as a HTML file on disk (to
remove streaming delay) and when we re-open it, it take a long time too
(at least 30 secs for 5megs). We have try with a file of 2 and 5 megs
and it's very long even if it take time to display, I'm sure the major
part still the DOM construction. I will try your fixed table as css,
to look if it reduce time to display...

Thinking over, nothing you can do while working with it as with one
file. I had to work with C# libraries text dumps (over 18,000 entries)
in both IE and Word and it was damn slow on 2Gh/512Mb.
It's just as it is: a 5-10 Mb doc cannot be displayed *immediately*,
unless you get on hold of Cray. Bu it will be problematic to supply a
Cray station to each of your customers ;-)
If we accept the point that no one needs the entire >5Mb *at once* then
there are some variants. Did you hear about tabular data binding? It's
still all on the client side, no server involved. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
Can anyone help me out here,
I'm looking for a design (pattern?) for a-synchronic construction of a
class.
I need this design in a framework which will run in a multithreaded system.
I want a class (client) in threadA to a-synchronously construct a class
(server) in threadB.
Both threads will probably need a kind of construction manager object.
For passing the request I will probably need to use a parameterised class.

Hi Folks,
Sorry for this stupid question, but how do you handle errors during class
construction. In other words, if I have a class that loads a file, and
during loading, an error occurs, how do you deal with this in respect of
releasing the resources that would have been allocated if the load was
successful?
What I am trying to achieve is, if I call my class with new, how do I return
NULL if the construction fails (so I can check for...

In case of inheritence the order of execution of constructors is in
the order of derivation and order of destructor execution is in
reverse order of derivation.
Is this case also true in case class is derived as virtual?
How does the order of construction/destruction is impacted if the base
class is derived as virtual or non virtual? just see the example
below.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
