Read the author's note on this page: http://www.hudzilla.org/phpbook/read.php/13_9_0 I'm not sure what browsers might have similar limits. I suspect they do it because they usually download full documents all at once rather than in delayed increments and they want to eliminate a lot of unnecessary page reflows as content is being delivered. I think I've even seen a FF extension that waits to display anything until the full page has been downloaded since it makes pages appear to download faster. Andrew
