Speed deterioration

[chestertb]

I have a website that uses iframes.

I have noticed that when an iframe content is loaded, IE's status bar does not complete it's cycle... that is, even though the page is loaded, the browser shows a low percentage. It does not hang, and continues counting, though it never seems to get to 100%

Note that the content html pages are very small and are predominantly text only.

I am also trying to understand the order in which browsers display things. Can anyone point me in the direction of a reference site?

Thanks

a browser loads things in the order they are in your code. top to bottom right to left. If your server is parsing your code with java scripts for ads it might cause some additional hang or load times.
