Question

I have a big data should be shown in a Table.
I use javascript to fill the table instead of priting in HTML.

Here is a sample data I use:

var aUsersData = [[1, "John Smith", "...."],[...],.......];

the problem is that Firefox warns me that “There is a heavy script running, should i continue or stop?“

I don’t want my visitors see the warning. how can I make performance better? jQuery? pure script? or another library you suggest?

Answer 1

you can use the method here to show a progress bar and not have the browser lock up on you.

I am using almost that method on this page:

to get the browser not to hang and show feedback while loading.
