CFFlush only works with Forefox

[MinalMoe]

CFFlush works very well with Firefox in MX7, but is useless with all the other browsers.

Is there any way round ir?

Thanks

Huh? CFFflush works sever side, so the browser never comes in contact with it. The problem is going to be somewhere else.


Hope This Helps!

Try this - let me provide a test page linking to XML Web Service, waiting for a response -

http://rightholidays-com.jupiterpreprop.helmcontrolpanel.net/CFFlush_Test.cfm

Without CFFlush, the visitor stays at the Form page and only moves to the next page when the XML response has loaded.

With CFFlush, click on Start Search Button (no need to change any of the fields) and if this is done in Firefox or Opera, CFFlush operates in that the page contents prior to CFFlush are displayed and then the results drop down.

In Internet Explorer 6, Deepnet or Maxthon, the Form page goes straight to the next page, but doesn't display the page contents prior to the CFFlush. I have tried the RepeatString trick but that doesn't work.

Any ideas?

For me, in Opera, and IE7 the result comes back fast enough that it skip the waiting page. IE6 yells about the JavaScript and then asks if I want to continue loading the page. I click OK and get the results. The pop-ups in 6 is a little annoying, but in all of the modern browsers I don't see a problem....

In Lynx the form page looks like:

You have bigger fish to fry than the evil "wait" page.

The poor layout in a text browser is a result of:
- lack of Doctype
- lack of alt tags
- mix of tables and divs. Tables are not a layout tool for positioning, they are for presenting tabular data. If it's not tabular in nature don't use a table. The results page could be one big table, as the data is tabular in nature. Each row would be a flight each colum would be
Cost, Carrier, Outward Bound Flight Departs,
Outward Bound Flight Arrives, Return Bound Flight Departs, Return Bound Flight Arrives. Current the results page...

The rh.css file contains HTML element <style> only css elements should be i the CSS file. and it should be controlling positioning not the attributes of the table and div tags. The stuff like:

width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"

...is style and not semantic and should be turned into CSS put into your CSS file.
