Datatable version for loading large js source in IE

wangdongsheng

Thanks Allan for the great plug-in and the great community around the project.

Now i face some strange problems when load large js souce in IE8 with different version of datatable js file.

When i use the http://heykoolaid.com/dataTables/examples/data_sources/js_array.html example which you provide for loading large js array, it is so fast in IE8 and almost take 1 seconds.

But i downloaded the lastest version 1.9.4 of datatable and open the XX/DataTables-1.9.4/examples/data_sources/js_array.html and i change the html content same as http://heykoolaid.com/dataTables/examples/data_sources/js_array.html, then i found that it will take more than 10 seconds to load the data in IE8.

Then i try to replace the jquery.datatable.js content with the version in http://heykoolaid.com/dataTables/examples/data_sources/js_array.html (it is 1.8.0.dev), then it will be almost 1 seconds in IE8.

It is so strange that the 1.9.4 is slower than 1.8.0 to load array in IE8.
Who can help me to find the reason for this problem?

Very odd that 1.9.4 is shower - it should be much faster and indeed when I load your page in IE8 it is just as fast or faster that 1.8.

One thing I would say - enable deferred rendering ( bDeferRender ) that will make a significant difference in IE.

Beyond that, I'd need a way to reliability reproduce the issue in IE8.
