   Do you have any suggestions on how to prevent the slight delay in the forms loading on the page? Here is an example of one of four forms on this site:

   When viewing the form directly from MachForm it appears immediately.

   Thanks

   I think it's probably because
   1) The form's loading in an iFrame and/or
   2) The form's generated from a database, not a static HTML page with the form on it.
   3) This delay you experience may not be the same for everyone - it might be because of your internet connection or some other factor outside your control.

   Looking at the site you gave as example, I find no really noticeable load time delay of the form, therefore I don't think it's much to worry about, however there could be differences between various users' internet connections, and my experience may differ from the next person.

   Thank you for responding. I realized yesterday that the delay was occurring when I used the javascript code for the adjustable iframe. When the pages opened, it showed the iframe closed, and then took a noticeable time to open to full size. I ended up getting rid of the adjustable iframe script and making some adaptions to minimize the empty space at the bottom of the forms. I got rid of the individual error descriptions and just left the colored error guidelines, and got rid of the first line of the error title. I would have preferred to have the adjustable iframe, but the delay was too noticeable. I was going to see if there was a way for it to open to a minimum size, but haven't had a chance yet.
