Internet explorer export to Excel/CSV fails with large number of records

Internet explorer export to Excel/CSV fails with large number of records

anujeetanujeet Posts: 39Questions: 15Answers: 0

When export is triggered for a table with large set of records, a prompt comes that says
'script is taking too long to respond'

Can we do something like, to break the script somewhere between like (with a delay) 2000 records and then continue processing with the other sets in the same way? In this manner, the browser will not consider it as a single threaded process.

Can you please fix this in the short term?

    What do you mean by "large set of records", and is this specific to a particular browser version?

    By "large set of records", I meant close to 25,000 records. And the problem is same with every version of Internet Explorer. Even in chrome, it makes the browser stuck for a while.

    But in the Internet Explorer, it just doesn't work at all.
