dhtmlxgrid is very slow please help.

i use dhtmlx so far i love it. but the thing is when i try fetching data from database the records are about 3,500 records. it takes about 10 secs sometimes more which is quite slow. then i investigate the problem by fetching the same dataset but do not use dhtmlx grid. it take just about 2 secs.

i use firefox to load it pops up like this (i also attached an image)

"The script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding…
Script: myhost/datagrid/dhtmlxGrid/codeb … Grid.js:13
"



please help.

Try to use SmartRendering mode. In such case only those rows will be rendered which should be displayed to the user
Please find tutorial here docs.dhtmlx.com/doku.php?id=dhtm … _rendering
Also you may use dynamic SmartRendering mode. In such case only those rows are loaded which should be displayed to the user.
Tutorial is available here docs.dhtmlx.com/doku.php?id=dhtm … ep_by_step

Also check if you have any code which iterates through all rows in grid. It may slow down grid performance.

wow!!!, like a charm. thank you so much
