Which version of IE are you experiencing the flickering problem in? I tried IE8, FF3.5, Chrome and all showed no flickering.
Considering that the flickering problem may only be present in one browser and version then image caching may not be the right solution. First, reduce the size of your image files. Your link background image is currently a 47KB png, which is extremely large for a 5x5 pixel single colour image. Try saving it as a gif; this should bring the file size down to a few bytes. Your background image really needs to be brought down in size, currently over 1MB. Try optimising as much as you can. ideally not more than 100K, of course less is better if you can. Maybe recutting the images in a different way may help to retain quality and reduce image size (separating the header from the background for example). In any sites I've worked on I don't recall ever needing to cache images to prevent flicking, but maybe your case is a little different. 2009/12/6 Jessica Kennedy <[email protected]> > > Well, it's good you didn't see it I guess...
