Re: [WDSCI-L] Webfacing reactions from users

First of all WebFacing does not blank the screen, the browser does that. I 
see it even with some simple pages on the Web.  I think that you will find 
that it depends upon how quickly the data is delivered start-to-finish to 
the browser.  The easiest way to tighten up the data delivery is to turn 
on compression, that has solved this "white page" problem for most people.

Re:  [WDSCI-L] Webfacing reactions from users






Hi,

What annoys me is that a pageup/down in a Webfaced application blanks ou 
the browser to a complete white page before the new page is shown.  Even 
with good response times, this gives the user the idea that he has a bad 
response time. 

Is there something that can be done to prevent this ?  Even if at least 
the menu would remain on screen, it would at least give the "idea" that it 
goes much more fluent.

Kind regards,
Paul
