Thanks,

Other languages

To tell you the truth, I haven't worked with PHP or JSP, but I imagine the idea is the same: Don't buffer your output. Instead of sending all the HTML from one large buffered chunk, you should be sending it as it's available. Also, the tips for generating clean HTML is to make it easy on the client to render the HTML, so you get a performance boost there. As far as data access with PHP and JSP, that's going to depend on what documentation those two offer for optimizing data performance. This is going to be anything that reduces the amount of traffic between the web server and the data server, such as wrapping up several data calls into one with better queries and such. Hope this helps.

I just discovered this forum and have not actually read the article. But you can also implement this in PHP and JSP. I am more familiar with PHP and I would discuss it here.

In implementing this is PHP, you would be using the Output Buffering functions in PHP. Here's an example. Basically what this involves is filling up our buffer with data and flushing the buffer to the browser when we have enough data.

<?php
$dbh = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass);
mysql_select_db($dbname, $dbh);
$rs = mysql_query($sql, $dbh);

// Start Output buffering
ob_start();
?>
<html>
<head><title>Output Buffering Example</title></head>
<body>
<table width="100%" border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0"><tr>
<td width="50%">Firstname</td>
<td width="50%">Lastname</td>
</tr><?phpwhile ($result = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs)) { echo "<tr>\n<td>" . $result['firstname'] . "</td>\n";
echo "<td>" . $result['lastname'] . "</td>\n</tr>\n";
// Flush buffer contents to the browser
ob_flush();
}?></table></body>
</html>
<?php
// Flush buffer and end output buffering
ob_end_flush();
?>
You may also want to have a look at http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/OutputBuffering/page1.html for more information on output buffering.

Showing my ignorance maybe but in the ASP page you load an xsl file named "ADOGeneric.xsl" but this file was not included in the article, nor the zipped file.

What am I missing?

Using Input Mask _Javascript?

by mtnmann · 18 years ago In reply to Web Development Zone Tech ...

Has anyone else tried the _Javascript code? I copied an pasted it and ran it in Netsape and IE. I may have missed some previous articles as well so I don't know how to implement "_Javascript". Anyway, I did not see any new behavior because of the_Javascript code. How is this supposed to work?

As far as my previous post goes, Yahoo! Mail replaced OnKeyDown with OnFiltered and Javascript with _Javascript (security...), even in the body of the newsletter. This is why the mask didn't work for me. I corrected the syntax and it works great.Thanks Phil!
