In IE the content of test3.php is displayed immediately and 5 seconds later the content of test1.php and test2.php (I've added an echo after the sleep(5); to see what happens. In Mozilla it takes 5 seconds to display test3.php. When I put that frame at the top it displays immediately. If I put it in the middle it displays immediately. What I do remember is that when I download multiple files (using IE or Mozilla on WinXP) from the same server I can only do two downloads at a time. I don't know if this is an OS setting. I did found a setting for IE and changed that value to 5 so now I can download up to 5 files from the same server at the same time. Don't know where to change it in Mozilla. It therefore seems that the browser makes a connection to the server for the first page and starts downloading it. At the same time it makes a connection to the server for the second page and starts downloading it. After one of these two have downloaded it start downloading the third page. If you change the setting in the browser (like I did with IE) you can download up to that number of pages at the same time. It is therefore not an issue with PHP but with the browser.
