Given [login to view URL] and all the files used in all src attributes, make the page come up in an IE 5.x browser in the best, fastest, and cheapest manner, yet still display like it did before.
I will use an iOpus Internet Macros Batch File in the tray mode to perform the response time measurements. The macro looks like this:
'Saved as C:\Program Files\InternetMacros3\Macros\[login to view URL]
'Run as C:\Program Files\InternetMacros3\[login to view URL] -macro Davez-StressTest -tray
SET !CHECKING YES
SET !FILESTOPWATCH [login to view URL]
STOPWATCH ID=total
URL GOTO=file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/dbabbitt/Desktop/Payroll%20Data%20Exporter%20Step%204%20of%204%20Payroll%20Register/[login to view URL]
STOPWATCH ID=total
I will run this 10 times and throw out the highest and lowest scores and take the average of the eight scores that are left. (Right now the average is 6002.064 which is about an hour and forty minutes.)
Now, If I can beat your score by modifying your deliverable, I will consider the job incomplete. I'm talking about things like:
1. removing extra space,
2. removing extraneous attributes to tags,
3. reverse engineering the tabular data into a javascript compatible data structure and producing the HTML for the table at the browser, etc.
NOTE: This web page is created on demand. The data comes from a database of time entries which are grouped by home department, staff, then working department by ColdFusion for export into .csv files. It's in the line-by-line process of making these .csv files that I produce the tabular data for this page.
## Deliverables
1) Complete source code of all work done.
2) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.
## Platform
I am performing the tests on a Compaq Armada M700 (x86 Family 6 Model 8 Stepping 3) with 589,296 KB RAM running Microsoft Windows 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 2. The iOpus Internet Macros is V3.1 (IE Plug-In Build: 71) running from the tray using Internet Explorer (IE) Version 5.0.3502.
