Hello,

Did that anybody know if IE has some limits on loaded page size? (for
example 20MB). Theoretically should be limited on size, or number of
pictures or links or something like that ...

Thanks in advance
 
Hi Cata,

It depends upon the configuration of your 'puter.... free memory, cache
size, paging size.

There is an issue I am tracking with a page with a rather large number of
animated images, but this is quite different to the number of static
pictures that can be loaded in a page.

Rather than the maximum web page size, don't you think a more appropriate
measure is your users annoyance at waiting for large pages to be rendered in
a browser.

A few years ago, www stood for World Wide Wait.

If you have a large page to present to users you may receive better
acceptance if you offer it for download in say PDF format so that users can
complete it at their leisure.

Other technologies such as AJAX allows you to push data to the client as it
is required, so a selection list of say a few thousand rows does not have to
be populated when the page loads.

..Net form postbacks would be intolerably slow for very large pages. Process
flow design will give you benefits if you are able to break up one big task
into a number of smaller, manageable tasks.

Regards.
 
Hi Rob,

Tnx for your replay. I know that is a little strange question, i'm
programmer to, but i have received this from a customer. It's about opening
a very big xml file, i don't know why with IE. In my opinion, just a
microsoft developer involved in IE team could have an answer ... possible
maybe ...

Thank you and a very pleasent day ...
 
Hi Cata,

I'm not MSFT, just an enthusiast. May answer may not be 100%, but I think it
logically stands.
