I dont have IE6 and many people here would have upgraded too.

Could you explain precisely what is happening? Which element is flickering?

Oak · #3 Mar 4th, 2008, 12:06

The back ground gradient img flickers (displays on and off) when the mouse is placed over the the body.

The css is in the doc, line 75.

Ihope this is explains it.

Cheers.

Dean Edwards may have found the solution. Read more, but it boils down to putting the following into your .htaccess file.

Code: Select all

ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/gif A2592000
ExpiresByType image/jpeg A2592000
ExpiresByType image/png A2592000

I haven't been able to follow those links I am having problems loading the page.

Am I to just drop that code in the file? (I tried doing that and it brought down my whole site) or do I need to edit it in reference to the image in question?

Cheers

I read the page by Dean Edwards, still not sure how to add this code. I copied and pasted it into the file and got an internal error message.

Please help

if you use IIS and have access then you can use cache control extensions to stop this

Not sure if my server has IIS, I would presume so, I don't have access to it.

I would prefer to just drop that code into my .htaccess file than to bother my web hosts.

Rob · #10 Mar 5th, 2008, 09:22

did you see my above post? Thats a javascript fix.... did you try it?

Oak · #11 Mar 5th, 2008, 09:23

Rob, sorry but I don't know how to add the JS

HTML: Select all

{
  document.execCommand("BackgroundImageCache", false, true);
} catch(err) {}

And I am not sure I know what this means:

Note 2:
You can enable the fix for any page you visit by using this bookmarklet:

HTML: Select all

  javascript:void(document.execCommand("BackgroundImageCache",false,true))

Oak · #12 Mar 5th, 2008, 09:41

I tried this but it didn't work.

HTML: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
{
  document.execCommand("BackgroundImageCache", false, true);
} catch(err) {}

// -->
</script>

Oak · #13 Mar 5th, 2008, 13:21

This is from the source of http://www.mister-pixel.com/#Content...is_that_simple but it is not working for me.

HTML: Select all

<script>
function fixIE6flicker(fix) {
    try {
        document.execCommand("BackgroundImageCache", false, fix);
    } catch(err) { }
}
//fixIE6flicker(true);
</script>
