Display page ONLY after it finishes loading

[poisa]

Hi all,

I wrote a PHP script that displays a huge table with data from a database that is updated contantly, and on each row it drops an HTML anchor. The anchor's purpose is so that when you are redirected from one of the other pages, you will automatically jump to the correct row.

Problem: The anchor is not shown on the top of the page because when the browser "jumps" to its position, the page hasn't finished loading, therefore the anchor might end up in the middle of the page.

Does anyone know a PHP function, HTML, javascript or anything that will make the browser show the page only after it has finished loading?

It has to be compatible with this instruction, which is also at the top of every page:

header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");

Thanks!

I believe that most browsers (IE I know for sure, but this could change with newer versions of the browser and with other browser s/w), won't display the contents of a table until it is completely defined. You could try nesting your table in another table. That way, all the table data would be sent to the browser before it displays it.

Just a thought.

Excellent! It worked!

I wasn't expecting such an easy solution...

Thanks!
