Netscape/Firefox DIV switching -- how do you stop the flickering?

[Matt MC]

....apparently when switching div tags elements, such as a fixed image,
in Netscape flavor browsers there is a brief flicker. I've read about
this issue, it seems there could be hack approaches to remedy this, but
can't find anything concrete. Has anyone found an approach to fix this?

I think you need to show us a concrete example, what/how do you switch
(visibility or display or the nodes), you mention div tags, then a fixed
image, that is not clear at all.
And what are the Netscape versions you observe the flickering with?

Something like this is what I am talking about. This is happeneing in
the latest version of Firefox and NS 7x

<script>

function image1() {
document.getEle mentById("switc h").innerHTM L = "<img
src=./someimage1.gif border=0>"
}

function image2() {
document.getEle mentById("switc h").innerHTM L = "<img
src=./someimage2.gif border=0>"
}

</script>

<div id="switch"></div>

<a href="javascrip t:image(1);">Im age 1</a>
<a href="javascrip t:image(2);">Im age 1</a>

(oops, in the last example, obviously it should be image1(), image2()
not image(1), etc. for the javascript call functions...... ....)
