Preloading or caching of images?

When the page loads all of your rows display for a second when the page starts? If that's the case it would be a CSS issue because there is CSS telling the rows after the first one to not display. Do you have an example link you can share?

I'm having the same issue; all images show for a second before they come together and the slideshow begins. Here's a link: http://medvita.no/medvita.no/
If there's a css way to solve this, I would be very interested to know!

I can't reproduce this effect at the url you gave. What browser/version/OS are you on?

Thanks for your reply!
I'm on mac os; same thing with ff, opera and safari. The client's ie 7 does the same thing.

What version of drupal are you using (e.g., 6.1, 6.2, 6.4)? I ask because there was a point where jQuery was updated during the 6.x revisions.

I'll try and look more into this. It'll be tough to test when I can't reproduce the problems.

Thanks again!
I'm on 6.6, and I use the jQuery Plugin. Is there anything I can look for in the css?

I'm having the same issue. Although, it doesnt appear for me in firefox 3, it does in IE... but ive looked at it on other people's computers using firefox 3 and the images all appear.

I wonder if the issue has to do with drupal shipping with a packed version of jquery. Packed js files can take 50ms to 200ms to unpack and execute. This can cause a flicker on some pages. Try installing the jQuery Update module and setting the JS Compression to minified or min (I can't remember what it says).

I tried all settings with how the js files are packed, the issue still remains. Its the strangest thing, I can duplicate the issue once in awhile in IE, but not firefox... I tested it on 3 other computers, 2 of them dont have the issue and the third has the issue occur every time in every browser. I wish I could figure out what's causing it or how to ensure that the slides wont display until they're supposed to.

Packed? You mean you tried all the ways the core js files are compressed? I ask for clarification because packed is a form of compression just like minification is. minification and packed are different.

sorry, i meant i tried packed, minified and no compression, all results were the same, no change. I noticed on the one computer that picks up the bug that it only occurs every other reload in firefox

I would be interested to hear if anyone has seen the pattern as to when and why this happens. Ideas?

I have the same: latest Chrome, IE6, latest FF.

Strange, that a few first days, when testing, all was fine. Now... it blinks in every
browser... Arggh! :]

'overflow: hidden' fixed the problem.

@perandre: how did you solve the problem?

Szy.

I didn't! Will try overflow :)

I didn't! Will try overflow :)

Hi Szy,

Could you (or someone else) please tell me where and how this 'overflow: hidden' should be specified.
And also if the JQuery update module has to be installed for this to be working?

Many Thanks

Sanjay

I turned "Optimize CSS files: Enabled" and "Optimize JavaScript files: Enabled" in site configuration>performance and it worked for me.
I'm using Views_Showcase

I had this problem on my local dev copy and was never able to figure it out. There was no pattern that developed, it just seemed to happen about 10-20% of the time.
Since I took the site live over a month ago I have not seen it happen once. I have a feeling it has to do with the fact that I turned on "Optimize CSS files: Enabled" and "Optimize JavaScript files: Enabled" in site configuration>performance like saintofmadness did.
