Firefox Hangs when trying to add new data

    Greetings…

    So we have a CSV file that has 1524 records, when I am in Firefox within the back-end trying to edit these records real time, the browser hangs for a very very long time and then I get a script error message and I have to kill Firefox.

    Is there a reason why this is happening and is there a way to remedy this?

    Perhaps this is a wordpress memory issue. Maybe there is a plugin to resolve this. Can we split the table up into smaller tables of 500 records each and then ajoin them when rending the site on the front end.

    Please write back and let me know.

    Regards
    Rob

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    The reason for this basically is the memory on your computer. For a table of this size, the browser has to manage a very large number of text input fields, and most browsers have problems with that.

    You could try a different browser here. Some users have had good success with Chrome and (surprisingly) Internet Explorer. Another idea would be to edit the table externally, e.g. in Excel and then re-import the table as a CSV file again, after making changes.

    I do have plans to make this better in the future, e.g. with pagination as you suggest, but unfortunately, there are some technical restrictions that don’t yet allow this.

    Regards,
    Tobias
