Taking a chance..

Hello,

I'm taking a chance here, because I dont think there is a real solution to my problem.


I have a page with 19 select boxes each filled with many items - all in all - 760 items. The page loads EXTREMELY slow. There is nothing funny about the page - no fancy scripts or anything. The page however, is 90kb big.

Is there ANY way I can get this page to load faster??

Maybe a stupid question, but I'm desperate!!

Thanks,
T

Probably not, since all the items in the selectboxes HAS to be there, and that makes the filesize big. If you're desperate about getting the filesize down, I suggest you split it up to two or more pages, if that's possible.

Thanks CreoN,

I thought I wont be able to do anything about it. I am now thinking of displaying some message like "Please wait...." while the page loads, but I do not know how to do this!!

I just posted a thread called <div></div> with some code which I got somewhere..............if you could perhaps help.

Thanks anyway,
T

Attach the page.. I'm sure there is some pork in there that can be trimmed down. Remember the size of the ASP file doesn't matter. It is just the server side script. What gets sent over the net is the HTML output of the script.
