ms1990kl Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I have a navigation page that does a tremendous number of calculations each time data is submitted. It runs fine on both IE and Firefox, but there is an annoying blink every time the page is run (i.e. every time I hit the submit button). This is lame but bearable, except I use a background image, and the flicker is extremely noticeable and distracting. With Firefox, there is not the slightest hint of a flicker when the page is run. Anybody have any suggestions. The entire page is styled with CSS. Thanks in advance. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 That's what IE does. It happens on any page, it's just more noticeable on some. Nothing you can do, AFAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200609/flash_of_unstyled_content_fouc_explained/ Does that (and related links) help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I don't think it's the FOUC, it's just the plain white screen before the page loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms1990kl Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 Thanks, I'll read the link you provided. I wrote a simple form with a single input and a PHP script that simply writes that value to the screen. I did not style the page at all, except to put a background directly into the body tag (<body style="background-image:etc, etc."> It still blinked noticeably, although it was less noticeable than with my real PHP script which is extremely time-consuming. Is there any hope? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
