Filter very slow on IE 8+

shamwanve

Hi,

We are using data table 1.9.4 and we are seeing performance issue with filter on IE 8 & IE 9 browsers. Works well with chrome and FF.

The data table is taking long time to load even 500 rows and 20 cols on IE8. Its taking around 10-12 sec. Using IE 8 profile tool, we found more time is taking to initialize filter.

Please suggest a way to improve performance of filter.

Thanks,
Sham

Hi Sham,

I've just tried it with DataTables 1.10 which is pre-beta and is seems significantly faster in IE8:

Hi Allan,

I just tried it on IE8 and its taking 9-10 sec to load it. The search is working much faster with DataTables 1.10 pre-beta as compared to 1.9.4 version.

Thanks,

Still quite a long time, but IE8 is a very old browser with a very slow Javascript engine now. Good to hear that 1.10 is sharper though!

Likely December now. It is stable and beta ready - I just need to write the documentation for it!
