Has anyone else had problems with internet explorer loading custom presentations? Specifically, if my custom presentation has a lot of items on it, IE slowly counts down the number of "items remaining" in the status bar at the bottom left. I typically can't click on anything else until that number of items has gone all the way down to zero.
My custom presentation pops up pretty quickly but then I can't click on any of the links in that presentation until those "items remaining" have all been loaded. Sometimes it takes up to 5 or 7 seconds before I can move on.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Custom Presentation - Items Remaining in IE
FYI- I was able to resolve this... sort of.
Apparently this is a problem with IE versions 6-8 and the way it handles transparent png files. If you are interested in the details, you can look here: http://www.techsupportforum.com/design- ... oblem.html
Others who have encountered this haven't come up with a fix. However, I was able to significantly speed up the load time for custom presentation files by changing this file:
C:\AwareIM\Tomcat\webapps\AwareIM\aware_ext\resources\css\iepngfix.htc
After I removed ALL code from that file and left it completely empty (0 KB), the "items remaining" countdown was significantly faster because each "item" being loaded didn't have to churn through a whole page of code that exists in that htc file.
So if you run into this problem and are looking for a workaround that will make your application functional, this may work for you too.
