Interesting. Although I was not referring to IE. Many browsers display the page w/o CSS first and after the CSS downloads, they apply it causing the page to be drawn twice. -Casey ----- Original Message ----- From: "Geir Bækholt" <geirh@funcom.com> To: "Casey Duncan on the zope-list" <casey@zope.com> Cc: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Sunday, June 30, 2002 1:27 AM Subject: Re: [Zope] Re: External CSS via ZPTs Hello Casey, Saturday, June 29, 2002, 11:40:37 PM, you wrote: CD> By placing the bulk of your CSS in a static file and the rest inline, your CD> pages will render without so much "jumping" as well.

This CD> makes for a rather jerky user experience. The "jumping" you're referring to , is caused by a bug in Ms Internet Explorer , and can be avoiding by having at least one set of <style></style> or <script></script> in the head of your document, with or without content in them. I usually just add an empty <script></script> , and the problem/quirk is gone forever. :-) -- Geir Bækholt web-developer geirh@funcom.com funcom oslo | webdev-team
