Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Programming Discussion : AOL go slow on site

[jacobcolton]

Hi,

I have developed a site, the site works fine in IE, Firefox, Netscape and Opera however for some reason in AOL it slows down massively.

Please note: I am using AOL browser on my own web connection, it is not a AOL web connection. I have just downloaded their software.

I am also having the problem that when I try to perform a response.redirect, it works fine in all other browsers but in AOL it bombs out and says 'Page cannot be displayed'.

Does anyone know why this is happening or what I can do to sort the problem?

Thanks in advance,

[acidhoss]

that's because AOL sucks ***.

I had massive probs with certain Doctypes not correctly working in AOL(1.1strict sticts out).

Maybe this is the issue.

Plus, and not to be technical, AOL, while owning netscape and it's it's standardized browser, does not accept doctypes nor technologies as correctly as it should as that is the case.

Thanks for your response. The answer was that for some reason something was looping at the end of the page. As AOL downloads the whole page before displaying it, was taking ages to load. I inserted a <%response.flush()%> and the problem was solved.

Regards,

Jacob
