HTML - Clear:both; Makes For Slow Loading In Browser
Hi,
adding rows with the clear:both; attribute causes a huge slow-down and I need an alternative or a solution. I'm composing a friend's resume in html. I'm using nested divs to create a two column format. Each row is a div block that contains two smaller divs--one for each column. Each row uses the attribute clear:both; so that the next row will form cleanly beneath it. I am getting the desired format, but as I add more and more rows, the web browser becomes dramatically slower. 20 rows will make the page un-loadable and the browser crashes. Am I doing something wrong or is there another way to do this? Similar TutorialsHi There, First post Ive just redesigned my site in HTML and uploaded it to www.sibarber.co.uk Occasionally I find the front page (index) taking nearly a minute to load which is obviously far too long. Im at a loss to understand why. I use a fowarding source (Freeparking) to redirect visitors to my 'true' web address which is http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~sibarber/ . Maybe this is part of the problem but my previous site at this was fine. Im not particularly HTML savvy, so if anyone can throw some light on the issue I would appreciate it. S Hi, I've just put some of the finishing touches to www.oisinmcgann.com which works just fine in IE7, Firefox, Safari and every other browser I've checked. Except IE6 (of course), where some of the pages just hang loading one of the background images. There's a lot of CSS and some transparent PNGs involved, but I've followed tutorials and tips on-line and think everything should be technically alright. More annoying is that there are three layouts involved. The one on the home page seems to work fine, while if you check out the books>Mad Grandad or books>Forbidden Files IE6 just gives up after putting in the CSS menus and the text. Could any give me some pointers on what I can do here? (Aside from ask everyone visiting the site to upgrade...) Cheers, M Hello, I have a simple html form drop down list as a quick reference and link to pages on my site. It is not nested with subcategories, however there are still hundreds of options in the list, and it is causing the page load time to slow considerably. When the list is created dynamically it is painfully slow. I tried to speed things up by making a static html file of the code and using INSERTFILE on my pages. This helped a little, but not enough to suit me. Is there a way to cache this code snippet, or something like that, to speed up the load time? Thanks! Greetings, I have a script that needs to load a ~250Mb file from an FTP server in order to function. During this 20+ minute process, the connection between the server and client is lost; is there a header I can use to make sure the connection does not timeout? Thank you and Godspeed! Hi, I want to load a window with loading image on a button click.

I want to use HTML to make the following task... I little link, when someone clicks on it, it displays an image at the top of it (Not load a whole new page with an image) Example Say you have this link linky I want when people click on it, it displays an image above it Can this be done using HTML? Thanks Hi I noticed that ie6 renders paragraph breakline spaces bigger than ie7 or FF. I got around it by using <br /><br /> instead of <p></p>, but is there a proper workaround to make ie6 conform? Also also tried stipulating the CSS for the p tags, but to no avail: .maintext { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; color:#fff; text-align:justify; line-height:100%; } .maintext p { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; color:#fff; text-align:justify; line-height:100%; } Cheers Shaun Hi, I have a site that goes over about 3 pages in length and in the IE the page is longer than in firefox. This is really annoying when you have next to the page a sidebar that is supposed to have the same length as the page but in the IE the sidebar does not reach the end of the page (because the page is longer due to larger spacing). To me it seems that IE makes more spaces between the text lines like h1, h2, p, etc. Is this a common problem and is there any solution to this? hello.. so i want to make a website that has the same features as THIS ONE where you have to click on all the links that are on there before entering the site. if click ENTER it wont let you continue unless you have clicked on all the ADD images. thats the only example i found. how do you do that??? thank you for your help! Problem Solved, Thanks everyone Hello everyone I have run into a roadblock. I am trying to make a background image scale properly with Internet Explorer. I have successfully made the image fit the web browser right, using this code in a CSS class. The code I am using is as written: PHP Code: body.background { filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='../../Images/Website Background-3.jpg', sizingMethod='scale'); -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='../../Images/Website Background-3.jpg', sizingMethod='scale')"; } this code makes the background I am using work correctly in Internet Explorer. However, when I use this code, it makes the rest of the website stop working. I can no longer click on any of the links on the page, or anything of the sort. However, all my styles for the links still remain on the page. Any suggestions? Thank you all, Mitch Guzman I made some slices in photoshop to manage the links from Front Page but the links look like this.Check the photo... any one knows what shall i do ? If I have many PHP includes, will this slow down the loading of the page? I may have around 6 at a time on a single page. <? $path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; $path .= "/item.php"; include_once($path); ?> I usually have around 6 of these on a page at a time, will this slow down the loading of my website. I use this for updating my website, since all the includes come from the same sources, e.g. navbar on all pages comes from /include/navbar.php then I will have to edit navbar.php to edit the navbar on all pages. Am I using the correct method for website updating, or is there a more efficient way? http://www.heresmary.com I just finished uploading my site, and I noticed that when I click on a link the page loads then loads again a split second after. Does this happen to anyone else? If so can anyone give me any advice about it? Hi , I've been wondering why my simple HTML website has slower drop down menu's at the top at LaptopBackpacks.com It takes a moment for the menu to drop down at the top ..Mens | Womens | Youth Compared to my competitor who's drop down menu's drop now instantly after hovering over them. What causes this slower speed? Suggestions? Hello All, With building a nested vertical navigation element, I am using "onmouseover" and "onmouseout" behaviors with some CSS. The problem I have is that, for people who have a hard time clicking quickly on the left side vertical navigation submenu elements, sometimes they mouse out before they click when the mouse is over the element. I made the onmouseover area larger than the actual sub-entries, which helps, but is not good enough. What I want to do: Somehow prolong the onmouseover event to allow maybe 1.25 seconds of onmouseout before the submenu disappears, or slow down the onmouseout for the same reason. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you, edsager P.S. I include some of the relevant code below. HTML stuff: Code: <ul> <li onmouseover="this.firstChild.style.display="block"" onmouseout="this.firstChild.style.display="none""><ul class="popout"> <li class="popout"><a class="popout" href="orig_flood.html">Stuff111111111</a></li> <li class="popout"><a class="popout" href="title.html">Stuff11111111</a></li> <li class="popout"><a class="popout" href="appraisal.html">Stuff1111111</a></li> <li class="popout"><a class="popout" href="AVM.html">Stuff111111</a></li> <li class="popout"><a class="popout" href="BPO.html">Stuff11111</a></li> <li class="popout"><a class="popout" href="orig_fraud.html">Stuff1111</a></li> <li class="popout"><a class="popout" href="lien.html">Stuff111</a></li> <li class="popout"><a class="popout" href="orig_tax.html">Stuff111</a></li> </ul><a>Home</a></li> CSS stuff: Code: @charset "utf-8"; /* CSS Document */ #services a { display: block; height: 100%; cursor: default; } #services li:hover { color: #999; border: 1px solid RGB(179, 179, 179); background-color: RGB(230, 230, 230); } #services a:hover { color: #666; } #services ul.popout { white-space: nowrap; width: auto; position: absolute; left: 180px; background-color: white; padding-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; z-index: 5; display: none; border: 1px solid RGB(179, 179, 179); } #services li.popout { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; height: auto; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; color: #666; } #services a.popout { padding: 5px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px; display: block; height: 100%; } #services a.popout:hover { color: #333; background-color: RGB(230, 230, 230); cursor: pointer; } Hi people, hopefully you can help. I've made a website for a artist-run collective here in Edinburgh, Scotland and everything is getting under way. I had a few questions with some issues I have been encountering and perhaps you could send me some information on if there is anyway to fix this. http://www.modular9.co.uk/ That's the site. Some things aren't up yet but you get the idea. The main issue is with the index page anyway. I have used a collection of image paths and rollovers and if you take a look at the source you'll see my very basic, yet required, html/css. One of the issues is the delay in rollover. I understand it is because it is loading a whole image each time you rollover the tally marks, but is there any way to speed this up? Or use a script that isn't as ineffective as javascript? I don't mind the delay but I know that the rollover is meant to exist so I give it a second or two, but people coming to the site for the first time might not notice the navigation and leave :/ Also, on some of my friend's computers at college, when they click on, artists, or the about section, or contact, for example, the background doesn't show up as the colours I put down. Is this because I used css to do so? Are there actually some browsers that can't take css yet? I know it's a bit vague and a general query but any tips and things would be great to make the site more effective and smooth running. Hope you are all well. Rich Seems I read somewhere that the <clear> tag is now deprecated. I find great use for it and wonder if it really is deprecated. Here is how I use it to line up text with images: <img src="museum.jpg" class="floatLeft imgborder" style="width: 350px; height: 350px;" alt="museum" title="artifacts"> <p>27. Make a "Museum Shelf." This is one of ours. On it we set all sorts of neat things that we find in the wilds. Another has all sorts of different shapes of diamonds found in our Diamond Willow.</p> <BR CLEAR="all"> Is that still OK? Hi, after testing my site in IE8 I've discovered a large bug with my site - right now I am using this tag to make my contianer div extend til the navigation and content is finished: Code: <br style="clear: both;" /> However, this code doesn't work in IE8 and the container DIV becomes way too short. I've researched online and I've found this is a known issue with IE8, but I haven't found a way to circumvent it - is there another way? Thanks hi there, i am working on a page: http://test.furryfrog.co.uk/rokka/private i cant get the content to clear on the right hand side and extend the content area to 100%? i have tried all manner of clears, end divs, 100%heights but i just cant get it. any help is most appreciated.
