As you are using your machine for development, you will have set IE not to cache stuff but to check for new content every visit to the page. This means it is re-fetching the image every time. To see it as a normal user would, got to Tools > Internet Options > General tab > Temporary Internet Files fieldset > Settings button, select the "Automatically" radio button and OK all the way back out. After you reload the page the flicker should have vanished. This is mentioned in the notes to Sliding Doors 2, BTW: <http://www.alistapart.com/articles/slidingdoors2/> HTH, Nick. -- Nick Fitzsimons http://www.nickfitz.co.uk/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
