Hey, Sorry to bug you on a Saturday, but I am having some real
performance issues with prototype's AJAX in IE 6. The request will
intermittently drop the response text but return a valid status of
200. To eliminate the possibility of errant requests I have the test
call the same query repeatedly. Out of 15 requests made an average of
4 will return empty. This has nothing to do with the number of clicks
or the speed in which they are made (something I've tested
extensively). Sometimes it can be the first or the last 5 requests
there doesn’t seem to be any pattern to it. I've had upwards of 15
requests in a row return this way. To make sure the request isn’t
cached I've added a timestamp to the parameters so it will always have
something new (I've heard mention about IE caching requests)
MySQL 5.1 backend with PHP 5 returns a JSON formatted block of text.
Using the latest prototype.js (1.6.0.2) on IE 6.0.3790.3959
http://clients.morgangraphics.com/personal/prototype/index.php shows
the test and is broken down into its most simple parts. If you click
the countries several times you will eventually run across a few of
these, often in groups.
QUERY = far.get_results(38);
RESPONSE RESPONSE Status= 200
RESPONSE RESPONSE TEXT=
This isn’t an issue in Firefox, only IE.
I've tried every iteration of requests, invoking event listeners etc.
I can’t seem to track this one down. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
