Re: An interesting form question

If you look at the size of the HTML needed to display Newest Nodes created in the last 7 days then currently this is about 184KB - since this displays o.k. for me and I guess many others it looks like a problem with your particular configuration.

I suspect that there isn't enough perl here to get the interest of many of the monks and so you may not get the sort of help you are looking for.

Negative there. IE has a problem with large and/or numerous drop down lists. If you want an example, get moderation on slashdot sometime and go look at a page with a lot of posts. Or write one. Make a page with about 150 drop down lists of moderate size and look at it in IE. Don't dismiss so easily, really. It's a very valid question, while possibly not perl related, it's a software design question and that's what perl's for.. and I'm sure other people will run into this same problem eventually. Browser bugs and inconsistancies are a huge problem in web development. `local $_ = "0A72656B636148206C72655020726568746F6E41207473754A"; while(s/..$//) { print chr(hex($&)) }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
