Hi,

I have a order form/page that has many dropdowns that are "fed" by many recordsets from many access tables. This has bloated the size of the page to a whopping 130k. Is there a better way to do this in UD?
Please Help!

How big is the page in the browser? Right click and select properties.

Remember the VBScript is processed at the server, only HTML and JavaScript is sent to the browser, so the page may be significantly smaller at the browser end.

Also know that DW does not take into account preloaded images. If I have 50k of image on the front page and am working on a child page of that main page that contains the same images, DW will still count the 50k into the loading time, though if someone has visited your site previously and have caching enabled, it will be in their cache.

But 130kb of just CODE is ABHORENTLY HUGE. Copy the page to page_test.asp and delete all the asp. What's the file size then? Like Oeastwick said, the server processes ASP; it just then returns the results.
