Re: Displaying data as while recieving form mysql server

I've noticed in the past that some webbrowsers will start to display before it's finished. I remember a few years back that some version of Netscape did it because our "web design" class made some HORRIBLE code which usually didn't end/complete properly, but would still show up. Also, on those old dialup modems, it would show part of the table before it is finished. I believe this is a browser issue. I don't know how the current versions handle this. -w -- William Fong - wfong@mookandblanchard.com Phone: 626.968.6424 x210 | Fax: 626.968.6877 Wireless #: 805.490.7732 | Wireless E-mail: 8054907732@mobile.att.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roel Mulder" <r.mulder@mta.nl> To: <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, February 22, 2002 3:30 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Displaying data as while recieving form mysql server : Hi Lee, : You can't.
