Your browser cannot render the page until it has figured out where everything goes. If it knows how much space to allocate for the images, then the text can be rendered and the images come along later.</p> <p>Page arrangement is also important. Netscape will not generate table content until all content arrives (... loading file,... loading file .... loading file...). IE will generate table content as it arrives. The 'trick' is that if you have tables - break them up into multiple tables so that as soon as content for first table arrives NS will display it, etc.</p> <p>and you can solve most slow image problems with compression using something like Ulead's Smartsaver (<a href="http://www.ulead.com" title="www.ulead.com">www.ulead.com</a>) or a on-line image compression utility.</p> <p>There's a start for you <img src="http://www.webmaster-forums.com/ubb/smile.gif" alt="" class="bb-image" /></p> Thu, 23 Mar 2000 21:43:00 +0000 AndyB comment 1013267 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
