Does the page loading stall or what???

Hi... I am currently visiting family and using their fairly slow 1.5 MBits/sec DSL connection... So everything is a bit slower but that's ok... But since I've been here, I notice that most pages load in a reasonable time but when I load big content pages like msnbc's home page, I see the gear spinning and the blue progress bar moves across the URL text entry bar at a reasonable speed and then that progress bar disappears completely and then the fun starts... I will see something like "completed 52 of 80 items", the gear spins but it just sits there, often for minutes before the page finally loads...
What's happening during that long period where it appears to be stalled??? It seems to happen with pages that have a lot of content, like major news sites... Any thoughts on what causes this and how perhaps to make it go away??? Resetting Safari or clearing the cache does not help this problem... Your thoughts???
thanks... bob...

Site like MSN with so much video and image content are going to be slower loading on DSL period but should load.
I am running Safari 5.0.2 and OS X 10.6.4..
I meant for the computer using DSL. If Safari isn't up to date, that could be a factor for not loading pages correctly.

  • Print.css: when does the page load images for this?

    I have a print.css for an image I don't want on screen, but
    instead only for printing (normally set to display:none, and set to
    display:block when printing). Works great, but this image is
    loaded in any case as far as I know. 2 questions:
    1.) Would an image referenced in print.css load only when
    printing/previewing?
    2.) If so, could a printable (by default, i.e,
    non-background) image be loaded here in some way?
    Thank you!

    > 1.) Would an image referenced in print.css load only
    when
    > printing/previewing?
    I think so, but I'm not sure - so, I built a test page -
    http://www.murraytestsite.com/test-print.html
    It contains a single image that is display:none in the screen
    CSS, and
    display:block in the print CSS. Both YSlow and Safari's
    Activity window
    show the browser as fetching that image. Looks like the
    answer is *no* - it
    is fetched even when it is not displayed onscreen.
    > 2.) If so, could a printable (by default, i.e,

    > loaded
    > here in some way?
    I don't know what you are asking here.

  • I have just downloaded the latest version and some sites are part loading then taking ages to complete the page load. why and can you or I do anything about it please.

    latest version loads the main banner of page then takes too much time loading the content of page > I have even had to stop the page loading and refresh before it will load properly> I did not experience this before installing the latest version the pages used to load insantaneously. I am not the only one experiencing this as my friend has reverted back to explorer.
    Please can you do something about this.

    It could be caused by a Firewall. Disable your internet security and then see if QT will open.
    Are you an administrator account? It could be a permissions issue. Open the User Accounts control panel to see what type of account you have. Open the QT control panel to File Types. Does it show programmatically set? If so that will indicate permissions have been set by an administator.
    Also are there too many applications running at once or loading at start up? Look down at the bottom right corner of the screen, is it loaded with icons? If so close them all out and stop them from running at start up, then see if QT will open. The only application that should load at start up is your internet security and maybe volume control, anything else you can open as needed.
    If none of the above is a solution than I can help you uninstall QT and install, if so what version of QT is on the computer now. Open the QT control panel and click on About QuickTime

  • Using a4j to load a rich:dataTable after the page loads

    I have a rich:dataTable that calls a session bean which executes an SQL query to generate the data to be displayed in the table. Something simple like:
    <rich:dataTable rowClasses="evenRow,oddRow"
    rows="30"
    value="#{Bean.items}"
    var="items">
    where Bean.getItems() performs an SQL query and returns List<Item>.
    The problem is that the query takes a long time to execute (~45 seconds) and I'd like the page to initially load while the query is being executed, displaying a spinner while it loads. Once the query is done, I'd like to update the initially empty table using ajax.
    I set up a spinner using a4j:status and it works fine after the page initially loads (using a rich:datascroller).
    However, the page will not initially load until the query completes, which is a problem because the query is so slow. What happens is the user clicks on the "List Items" tab from my site's homepage, sits there on the same page for 45 seconds with absolutely no visual indication that anything is happening, and then finally is taken to the list of items page.
    What is needed to make the dataTable load via AJAX the first time, as well as all subsequent times?
    Thanks!

    The issue isn't the PK of the table; the query is joining across many tables and aggregating data from one table in particular with millions of rows. The table has paging, but again that won't help the timinig issues due to the aggregation that must be performed on a large table.
    Surely there must be a way to get the dataTable to always load its data via ajax, and not only after the first time.Well JSF does not have AJAX built-in, so why would there be? Perhaps one of the AJAX-based frameworks has this. I imagine it wouldn't be hard to do with the existing AJAX frameworks even without a built-in component specifically for it. Trigger an AJAX action on load which rerenders a panel which will only contain the dataTable upon the rerendering.
    >
    I think I could do it by adding a 'dataTableRendered' variable to the bean and using a jsFunction to set this variable to True when the page loads, but I'm looking for a better way. (I'm also not 100% sure this would do what I want.)

  • Firefox crashes as soon as the page loads it is completely unusable

    i got a update prompt from firefox a few hours ago which i installed and now it wont work as soon as the page loads it crashes it wont even stay on long enough to figure out the problem i swear by firefox i have used its for years and never had any problems with it ever if i recall but lately it has been freezing and crashing often i feel like i am using internet explorer and thats bad but now i cant get it to work at all and am forced to downgrade to a lesser program WHAT IS GOING ON????? as for crash ids and troubleshooting info none of that even comes up

    Do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    * It may not be necessary to create a new profile, so first try if it works with your current profile and if not then create a new profile.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • My page generates an Excel file but sometimes fails if the page loads to slowly...

    I'm having a problem generating an Excel file using CF and
    looping over a bunch of queries to get a table of data to display
    to the user. This is slow but works fine except for an instance
    recently where the page seems to be loading but after a few minutes
    it stops and says "the page cannot be displayed". The error leads
    me to believe it is a server error and not a CF error but I'm not
    sure. I don't have timeout checked in my CF Admin so that should
    mean that I can request pages for as long as I need to right?
    I'm using the cfheader and cfcontent to dynamically generate
    an Excel spreadsheet from my HTML. I tried using the cfflush tag
    and that seemed to help since it pushes content to the browser
    during the page load but it doesn't work with the cfheader and
    cfcontent tags.
    So then I tried using the cfsavecontent tag and then save the
    HTML to a file but again I couldn't use the cfflush tag inside the
    cfsavecontent tag so now I'm stuck.
    The page DOES load when I run in on my local machine with MX
    6.1 Developer Edition and SQL Server Personal Edition. It DOES NOT
    work when I run it on my production server that then calls my
    separate database server. I'm wondering if there is a timeout (non
    CF) set somewhere on the productions server or the database server
    or if there is some sort of limit to the amount of data you can
    transfer between servers?
    I'm totally stumped now so any advice is greatly
    appreciated!

    That didn't work for me and the page times out right about 5
    minutes (300 seconds). I don't have timeout checked in the CF
    Administrator so I don't think it is CF that is causing the
    timeout. I checked IIS also and the timeout is set to 900 seconds.
    Is there a possibility that SQL Server has some sort of
    connection limit and I'm using too many cfquery tags? If anyone has
    experienced a similar problem I would really appreciate the help,
    thanks.

  • Date Picker has to submit the default value after the page load???

    Hello All,
    I have 2 date pickers 'Start' and 'End' on a screen with report that has a where clause using above values. Start defaults to current date, End defaults to current month end date, I have another radio group with default to Monthly......
    Now when the page loads, I see the default values for 'Start' and 'End' date pickers but the report doesn't reflect those values. I added an on change dynamic action, and so when I change the value of 'End' date picker, it submits the page and now the values are reflected in the report........
    I tried creating another dynamic action > with event On Page Load.....and disable fire on page load, and to submit the page, this is causing an infinite loop of submitions........can you please tell me how to achieve this with out putting an exclusive submit button on the Screen.......
    Thanks for your time.

  • SAFARI, FIREFOX, IE / PAGE LOADING STALLS

    I'm experiencing the same problem on all three browsers. When I open a new page in the browser window, the load process stalls -- usually when it is trying to load one of the last 2 or 3 items.
    This problem started about a week ago.
    I've cleared the caches, and deleted the cookies. I removed and reinstalled Firefox - my preferred browser.

    Hi, Gary. From your description, it doesn't sound as if the browsers are stalling — it just sounds as though the pages in question weren't designed and thoroughly tested to load properly on various different browsers. Unfortunately, that's more nearly the rule than the exception: it's unusual for any page to be displayed exactly identically in two different browsers, never mind three or more different browsers. If the page-loading progress bar reaches completion, and you are able to use buttons and links that appear on the pages, then you're getting everything you can in each of the browsers you use — but not necessarily the same stuff in each browser. If you only had a single browser, you'd never know you were missing anything on the web sites you visit unless a freind who could see the missing features told you about them. With three browsers to choose from, use the one that most satisfactorily renders each web site you frequent. This may mean switching from browser to browser as you move from one web site to another. It's a drag, but the web site designers are to blame for failing to test and debug their sites more thoroughly.

  • Display ("Please Wait") message WHILE the page loads

    Hello All,
    I have adf/jsf application. How to add message " Please Wait While Page Loads" WHILE+* the page is loading ?
    I am thinking of Window.confirm(" Please Wait While The Page Loads") Is there a better (More Modern) way to do this?_
    Many Thanks,

    John, when I type <af:statusIndicator and ctrl + space, JDev does not show statusIndicator as one of the choices. I tried adding code but it seems it does not recognize statusIndicator as one of the tags. I am using other jsf and adf tags on the same page :(

    The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
    PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
