Cache was empty enough. - It's not the page loading flash or refreshing flash, but it is performing every time when hovering in and out the logo... First impression: looks like kinda peekaboo. But went to my IE-settings, and indeed (as Holly said): that's it! Only strange, that normally I don't remark this kind of flickering. I should say it should happen on visiting other webpages too [1], but why not? So somehow there must be a connection between the code of your page and the IE-settings... Back to html. - I saw: <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" /> * "Description: Causes the browsers to not locally cache documents." http://www.html-reference.com/META_httpequiv_pragma.htm Aha! Should that ..? - No problem for FF anyway, but turned it off in a testpage. - No, it wasn't that... [time to sleep] [today, after some heavy dreams about IE and thunderflashes:] Maybe... Yes! Almost too simple, see testpage <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-ie-flicker-1.htm>. :-) Evaluation: Hé, if you go from testpage 2 back to testpage 1 with the "back" button on the page (in fact: reload page 1), the flickering is starting again on page 1. - But if you go back with the IE back button in the menu bar, the flashing in page 1 is over, like I did imagine it was flashing... Maybe it is mr. FOUC [2] or one of his family members. - But as the solution is working, it's more up to the IE people to find the reason and to repair that, than a task for us: we just want to make websites, not to develop browsers! ;-) Good luck, francky [1] Also in the case of your reporter. If it only was a cache / IE-settings problem of your reporter's machine, then the flickering should be a "common behaviour" for your reporter, and there was no reason for a special alarm to you... - If not a general issue for people with these IE-setting, then probably it is the page, I was thinking.
