Question

I have a JSF application that is updating sections of itself dynamically via AJAX.

It runs ridiculously slow in IE7, but later versions of IE are fine, along with Firefox and Chrome.

I suspect it is an issue with client-side rendering performance – it’s a pretty big chunk of HTML that is being updated dynamically, and there’s not much JS code besides updating the DOM with the response (analogous to $(element).html(response) in jQuery).

Can this be tracked down to specific elements or not? For example, are there specific elements or CSS styles to focus on? Where else should I be looking?

Thanks!

A quick work around is to use chromeframe.

It renders the page use chrome engine and you can put the frame in IE6,7 and 8
