Display web page elements all at the same moment

karib · October 9th, 2004, 10:44 AM

I have observed that my asp page loads itsâ contents, loading a part every few seconds, depending on the bandwidth of connection and the kilobytes it has to load.
This is not what I would like.
I would like to have my asp page loaded at once.
To be displayed only when all parts are in memory. Text, graphics , all to be displayed in browser at the same time, not by the time the browser loads them.
At this moment I wrote this topic, when someone visit my asp page, the browser firstly display small graphics, secondly text, and at last, big sized graphics.

Is there any code to add in order to face this problem?

Can you please help me solve this?

In your <body> element, add a style attribute and an onload attribute like this:
<body style='display:none;visibility:hidden' onload='this.style.visibility="visible";this.style .display="block"'>

I'm not absolutely sure this would work, but it sounds plausible.

Try new FreshView 0.2!
There are only two stupid questions: the one you don't ask, and the one you ask more than once ;)

Try setting Response.buffer = true at the start of the page's code.

I tried Response.buffer = true.
It seems to do some important work, but isn't it perfect?

I see that the rendering of the page is as follows:
First it loads only a few elements of the page(say a banner at the top of the page) and then it really waits untill the full page loads and then it displays the page.
This happens in internet explorer browser and Opera browser that I tried.

It is far better from the previous situation but not perfect.
I have to say that I put the code to the very first line of the source code before <head>.
Also I must say that before this code line, the page loaded partialy through the time it loaded.
Now it is better.

Am I doing something wrong?
Is this the best we can achieve with minimum effort?
