Table PHP combo problem...
I fairly use CSS for layout all the time, before I used tables... Im trying to make a template for authoring that uses a CSS and Table combo with PHP...
Ok I made the template and works OK in all browsers and no hiccups for broadband... Then I transferred to dial-up to try it out and it still is ok in FF and Opera...
The problem is with IE, the load time is quite lengthy... The site never shows not until the whole site is loaded, so it gives the impression theres no site at all... I read about this problem long ago, but I need a refresher, so does anyone care to point out what i can do about this...

a very badly nested table combination will cause that, also bad javascript and bad tag attributes.
Also you say your using PHP, are you sure it's just IE causing the problem and not the script timing out from to many users or something
Can we see the site? or even just the source if it's short (don't post massive amounts of code).

Im sure its only IE, If checked my tables and my tables are not nested badly, ive checked the table codes and tags and its ok, no problem with other browsers as ive said, only IE and on dial-up... The script doesnt time out, but I have a bunch of PHP queries on the site,
Heres another note, Ive embedded a Flash on the site that queries on a PHP flatfile combo which works fine, It does appear to be the first to load up on IE and then its functional, but the rest of the site takes some time to load (again to clarify, only on IE and in Dial-up)

What the heck? Are you trying to do AJAX with Flash? Please tell me it aint so!
That's why XMLHttpRequest was invented and is supported by most browsers without the need for evil plugins.
Anyway, agreed with Busy, we're working blind here really. Got a site? Don't worry if it's not finished!
