Results of trying to load a 137MB XML document into IE, Firefox, and Opera

Hi Folks,

Here are the results of trying to load a 137MB XML document [1] into various browsers:

1. Internet Explorer: it loaded and displayed the first part of the XML document and then stopped and displayed this error message:

    Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.


2. Firefox: it worked on the XML document for a while and then the browser window suddenly closed and a crash report box appeared.


3. Opera: it worked on the XML document for a while and then its screen went blank and at the top of the browser window it said: (Unresponsive). I had to manually kill the browser.


The good news is that the XML document loaded successfully into Oxygen XML.

/Roger
