How to set up a web that doesn't "flicker" during navigation

[iddjoe]

I have a client who wants a basic static html site. He wants to be able to get in to the content pages and edit them easily, and the primary template will remain unchanged.

I am currently using Expression Web's Dynamic Web Templates to achieve this. He is able to edit the content, but for major appearance changes, he gives me a call. However, this being static html, whenever he navigates to a new page in the site, there is "flicker" as the new page loads.

He wants the "flicker" to go away. Obviously, this could be done using ASPX panels, but we really don't want to do that due to the complexity involved when he goes to edit them.

Short of using frames, though, I can't think how to keep this as an html web while adding the "flickerless" browsing.

Any ideas?

The web, as it stands (still unfinished, so excuse the mess) is at http://scan.intentdrivenwebs.com

You do have four html errors.

Which browser do you see the flicker in? I don't see it but I'm not on my dev computer. Could it be FOUC ?

Flickering appears in IE 6,7.

Put this in your html

< meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="revealtrans(duration=1.0)">
< meta http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="revealtrans(duration=1.0)">

Good luck

Thanks odefta, I use your two lines solved my problem. I had the same issue as this original post had (I use IE8). Now by reading your reply, and then I put your suggested two lines in my code, works great.

Thanks a lot!

You are responding to a four-year old thread. I'm guessing this is an issue with the computer or Expression Web because this is a non-issue for anything else and the suggested solution is not standard.
