JqGrid and jquery.UI themes load slowly

Question

HI All, I'm applying a jquery.UI theme to the standard jqgrid but am finding that the page renders very very slowly. I have tested this in IE6, IE7 and FF.

Once I remove the following reference, the page renders quickly again.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/redmond/jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.css"/>

Does anyone have any advice around apply CSS to jqGrid or how can I get the UI themes to render quicker?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Apologies, the reference I was speaking about is :

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="css/ui-lightness/jquery-ui-1.7.1.custom.css" />

Answer 2

Can you give any more information? Does it take just as long when loading other themes, such as redmond? Have you tried using firebug to attempt to isolate the problem further?
