Slideshow display problem

Luis Veras

I have a slideshow on my main page at www.canvasartists.com.

Many of my visitors started to complain that on their screen the slideshow
displays as flashing and/or blinking very quickly, and you can't really
appreciate the slideshow effect, which is supposed to be a nice crossfade
between the images.

I then realized than when viewed at 800x600 or lower it does this. Sometimes
it also does it at higher resolution, but with your browser window resized
to less than half of your screen.

However, I got the script for slideshow from another website which uses the
exact same code, and when viewed at 800x600 or lower their slideshow
displays perfectly.

Could someone please take a look at my code and tell me what could be wrong?

One thing I noticed, if I remove the box above it (the customers comments
box), this problem dissappears. But I haven't been able to figure out why.
Please help!

Thanks in advance.

By the way, this only happens in IE, it doesn't happen in Netscape.

Please help.

Sounds like FOUC (Flash of Unstyled Content).

Thanks for the link, but it didn't work.

However, it only occurs in IE, so he may be onto something. I tried
searching microsoft for any info if this was a "known problem", but couldn't
find anything.

I haven't been able to find a solution!! :*(

I kind of fixed it now.

I had to remove most of the CSS positioning and replace it with table
positioning. The blinking/flashing seems to have gone away.

Slow loading time for slideshow gallery

by: Adrian MacNair | last post by:

Hi, I created an image gallery which displays 63 images in a slideshow. The problem is that the show was slow because each image loaded one at a time during the show. No problem right? I just did a preload script. But then the user has to sit for 5 minutes waiting for 63 images to download! My images are about 640x480 and average 100kb. Is this too much for one page to load? Should I load my slideshow into differerent windows? If so,...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
