IE gridview with flash content loading slowly

Question

In part of our application we have the ability to search for music. The search results are loaded into a gridview which lists the song name, the artist, the royalty required for use, and a small flash object which plays a preview when clicked (wimpy button from this site)

When the users search returns a large number of results, it takes a surprisingly long time for the gridview to load. I've narrowed it down to the flash object: IE seems to wait to display the gridview until the flash object has loaded for each row. Firefox instead renders the gridview and then loads the swf.

Is there a way to force IE to render the gridview at once, and load the swf after (like Firefox)?

Answer 1

You could use jQuery and react to the finished renedering by adding flash content dynamicaly.
