[CLOSED] Active HTML - IE Performance
Hello everyone

We are having problem displaying AHTML report in IE browser. I know Active reports used to have record limitation of 5000 and may be 20,000 later in IE.
As of now, what are the limitations for Active report in browser?

Users are trying to display lot of records and browser is freezing. So, I would like to know the limitations and best practices (Active Cache/CACHELINES/Lines-per-page) for Active reports to improve performance.

Please suggest.

Thank you

Two suggestions:

1. Convince every needful individual to move your company away from IE use. It has been deprecated for the Edge browser. Even so, I would use Chrome or Firefox.

2. Do not use AHTML/ADF. Use DataTables.js instead. Looks better, has better functionality, etc. Taps out at about 60K cells before it has troubles.

Until the above is doable for you, here is the link to the documentation for it: Active Technologies

Try reducing your CACHELINES setting to 1000.

Thanks for your suggestions sir.
I already mentioned point 1 to them but I don't have much hope on that. Never knew about datatables.js. I will look into this.
If you have readily available, can you post an example with CAR file?

Thank you.

Thread on code way of integrating it (somewhat old though):
Code way

Thread on the extension available via Github:
Extension via InfoAssist way

You can find more on this by searching the forums for DataTables.js
