Big table in iFrame crash IE8

Question

I have an iFrame page originating from the ashx page. The handler takes three arguments through the query string and generates a text / html response containing the table. When the table receives> 1700 rows, this causes IE8 browser to crash. The browser freezes and returns a null link error.

If I take the html that displays and put it in a DIV on the page, it renders IE8 perfectly. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

The crash is caused by an IE8 function called SmartScreen. This prevents users from switching to known malicious and phishing sites. It also, as an unintended function, prevents websites from dumping large amounts of data after rendering. When this function is disabled, crashes completely disappear.

Answer 2

[update] From your comments, I don't think the problem is with a large table. Therefore, this answer does not apply, but I will leave it because it seems that this question arises many times on SO.

Try the "compatibility view", the same problem?

Try reducing the page size. For instance,

• remove unnecessary empty space (do it first, because it's easiest)
• temporarilly CSS , ,
• temporarilly , , , ..
