We are having a weird load issue with our dynamic website.  If there
is a  lot of Internet traffic or you are on a tad slower Internet
connection, the pages load weird.  It is as if they load very wide and
then all of a sudden snap to position once completely loaded.  It is
weird while it is building.

This must be a coding issue but how can we fix this / what is the problem?

Request for Question Clarification by hammer-ga on 18 Apr 2005 07:26 PDT

Cyrus22-ga,

Did the advice I provided answer your question? If so, please let me
know so that I can post an official answer.

Whenever you have a sound that plays as a preload action, it delays
the loading of the page. Try slimming down the sound file, or
eliminating its pre-load altogether. There is no reason to play it
unless the nav buttons are activated, anyway.

Thanks for the comment!  Although this is not our main concern at this
time.  But thank you!

Cyrus22,

Your tables have a jumble of width statements. The outermost table has
no width statement. The inner ones variously use percentages and hard
coded values. I'd normalize the width statements and see if that
solves your problem.

You should look if your page is entire inside a single "table"...

Doing this type of things your page will only show after page is loaded.
Also, you should look at some compression plugin (Gzip,modgzip) for
speedup the loading (Same tech google uses at its response pages).

Best Regards.

Hammer is correct that the problem is a result of your jumbled tables.
 setting a fixed outer table will eliminate the problem.  the problem
is a combination of that and the sound (the sound take a while to d/l
so while its coming down the table gets spread out)
