I have had similar problems with my Spheroid Generator which has nested
tables and one big table with one cell for each Lego stud.
There's some limit on the complexity of a table where IE5 will just stop
displaying it, though you can view the source. Syntax checkers told me it
was good HTML.

When IE "forgets" to display text the workaround is to hit Select All. This
is a separate bug from the truncated table (all images in my case).

Hi there,

I'm using IE5 on a Mac (there's my problem right there!), and one of my
pages only loads about halfway:

http://www.umop.com/legolist.htm

There's one table with about 310 rows, and it only loads about halfway
before becoming blank.  Source code says it's there, and the links are all
mapped (you can roll over blank areas and the browser will think there's a
link where it's supposed to be); the content is just invisible.

Why?

I don't think this page is particularly larger than some others that I've
seen.  I mean, 139K ain't TINY, but still.

I have other pages with similar code that work fine...case in point, a ~70K
list that loads up like a dream and scrolls really well:

http://www.umop.com/classic.htm

The oddest thing is that the page in question used to work fine...until I
put that long table nested within another table.  Is that the problem?  Can
someone smart please check out my source and tell me why it's wonky?  :o)

(...) Wow...how irritating! Thanks, Erik. Ya know...this table worked fine and dandy for me before. It was the exact same size, nothing but the background color. Maybe it doesn't like blue. :-) While bugfixing I took out everything except the table. (...) (22 years ago, 14-Dec-02, to lugnet.publish.html)
