I am developing a site that contains code to update tables in the database. In the process, I retrieve data and show it as values in a text input based form. After the user is done updating data in the form, they click an Update button, which sends them to a update script. This works fine until the data in the form grows. If the table is small say a 3 by 2, there is no speed problems. In another case where the table is 17 cols by 2 rows, when the update button is pressed the browser just hangs. That table size does not seem extremely large to me.
Any ideas there?
Also, I have noticed that the browser tends to hang every once in awhile. I have chased many possible leads, even to the point of re-compiling everything. I am running linux kernel 2.4.20, apache 2.0.45, php 4.3.1, mysql 4.0.12.
I am beyond the point of frustration, because everytime I update the content of the site, I have to sit and wait up to a minute for the site to respond.
Also looking for ideas on this one.
Thanks in advance.
