Writing and read from a database at the same time

[dcjones]

Hi all,

I am running a dedicated server with a fast internet connection.

This is the issue; I have a web site that displays data held in an SQL database. The web site page displays the data 10 rows at a time rolling on to the next page until the last page is reached, then reloads the complete page which also runs the SQL query to get the lastest data. The refresh rate is set 2 15 seconds. The data table is updated every 2 mins with new data from an outside source.

The issue I am having is that at random times the browser get a message "Internet Explorer cannot display this page". This happens on clients PCs in a number of different locations.

My question is: could the error be anything to do with the source table been updated at the same time as the client PCs are reading it.

Any word of wizdom would be helpful.

not an expert on IE errors but it sounds more like a network connection error than anything specificly to do with your page coding. it may be worth testing another browser just to see what kind of error (if any) it gives. using fire fox with firebug, should help with connection issues
