Question

Can I make internet explorer render the page when in php i use

flush()

In a table, Internet explorer will wait for the rest of the < table> before it renders the information. Firefox renders it straight away.

Edit:
I’m using a table to display live information about servers and services.
For example:

1st column is the server name.

2nd column is servers status, I get this by pinging the machine.

Is there a better way to display this information?

Answer 1

i suggest moving on to using a list instead of a table. this way, it’s faster. mark-up is somewhat similar so you can’t go wrong.

<ul class="servers">
    <li>
        <span class="serverName">server1</span>
        <span class="serverStatus">OK</span>
    </li>
    <li>
        <span class="serverName">server2</span>
        <span class="serverStatus">NOT OK</span>
    </li>
</ul>
