I'm having trouble with the tables and divs on my site. The yellow table on the right hand side like to take a while to load, and yet there doesn't seem to be any big files on it. I know the tag board is under it, but it's on a separate table and div. So why is the tag board making the other tables load slower? Any help, please? I think my tables and divs are really messed up...

Thanks!

it depends where you placed your tagboard. If it's kinda on top in your coding then the other codes must wait till the tagboard is loaded. i have that problem too... well i don't really think it's a problem. People just have to have some patient :)

If you think your divs are messed up then why not posting the link to that certain page so that we can check it out? ;)

Love,

Hi Mirna- thanks for the reply.

My tagboard is at the bottom of the page, but I think I fixed things a bit more now (I actually saw that there were more table problems than div ones). I'm still having a little trouble, but I think things will load faster now.

Here's the page I'm talking about though: Here (http://www.tainted-oblivion.net/laura/home.html).

i've looked at the link and the page has these problems, it might be why the page is slow:
1. errors on the page; the browser has to correct the errors in order to display the page correctly
2. layeres are usually always slow
3. internal frames are extra pages the browser has to load along with the main page
4. the big image at the top of the page (i'd concider cutting it up into smaller pieces)

other then that it looks good. i see what you're trying to do and it's a good idea :) hope this helps you improve the performance.

amicus, what are the errors in? If you could let me know what the errors have to do with (tables, divs, css, etc.), then I could work at fixing them. :) Thanks.

hi :)

the errors throw off the tables and divs. sometimes what happens is that if you make a table and not close off a 'tr' tag then the page will compensate by leaving off everything until it runs into a closing 'tr' tag. samething with the 'div' tags.

i couldn't fix the page for you 'cos the page had alot of errors. if you open the page in dreamweaver all the errors will show up in yellow. i can't give you specifics right now 'cos i'm at work but i'll take another look this weekend for you. don't you worry we'll get rid of those pesky errors :) we'll improve the performance, even if it's just a little bit. every little bit helps.
