flush not working in IE

[Tony]

OK - let's get the IE bashing out of the way...
<space provided to bash IE>

</space>

On to the problem:

I have a query that I'm running on a test server that takes awhile to
complete. I would like to have it output the data one row at a time, as the
query is processed.

To this end, I have basically the loop:

while ($row=mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
// output one row of a table
flush();
}

I have also tried ob_flush(), to no avail, and ob_implicit_flush() as well.

This works fine in Firefox, but not IE. I realize this is browser-related,
but I'm wondering if there is any workaround?

One thought just occurred to me: might it be because I'm outputting a table?
Is IE wafting for the table to close before accepting the flush?

Thanks!

In my experience the two most frequent causes are:

* Output is being compressed (for instance, using Apache mod_deflate)
* Output includes a large table

You can diagnose this last possibility checking source code (View->
Source). If code is there but it's not rendered yet, gotcha!

Not the case
* Output includes a large table

This is the case.

What I want to do is have the table display one row at a time. Firefox
appears to do this, IE doesn't. What I'm wondering is if there is a fix.

Since your users won't stop using IE, you'll have to remove the huge table.
