bwcc Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I am having an issue recently with IE (v7.0.5730.11) displaying more than 500 records from an SQL query. The browser seems to constantly execute - displaying and rehiding records (and the vertical scrollbar grows and shrinks). I have let the page go for about 5 minutes and it will continue this behavior until a user clicks on the webpage a second time. I've tried connecting to multiple databases, different webservers, different computers. Here's the code (stripped down version) <? $server="someserver"; $username="someuser"; $password="somepwd"; $sqlconnect=mssql_connect($server, $username, $password); $sqldb=mssql_select_db("sometable",$sqlconnect); ?> <html> <head> <title>Parking Control : Reports</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <link href="lpac.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <? $rep=mssql_query("SELECT TOP 1500 account FROM entries"); ?> <div> <span class="title" style="width:70px;"><a href="reports_print.php?o=1&<?=''.$v.''; ?>" title="Sort by Ticket #">Ticket#</a></span> <span class="title" style="width:75px;"><a href="reports_print.php?o=2&<?=''.$v.''; ?>" title="Sort by Date">Date</a></span> <span class="title" style="width:65px;"><a href="reports_print.php?o=3&<?=''.$v.''; ?>" title="Sort by Paid or Void">Paid/Void</a></span> </div> <div> <? for($i=0; $i<1500; $i++) { $row = mssql_fetch_array($rep); echo ' <div style="clear:both;"> <span class="data" style="width:70px;">'.$row['account'].'</span> </div>'; } // end while ?> </div> </body> </html> I've also changed the for statement to a while statement. Same results. Firefox seems to execute the code normally, as IE used to. Any ideas to this strange behavior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwcc Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 I did figure out that it is something related to the css style of float:left; The original code above uses a style sheet that sets the data class as 'float:left;' Once I remove that (or the css link), it works fine. But to why????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
