In your case, many of the font declarations have a / in front which causes ff to ignore them. Also, you have this line which firefox drops. .dateline { font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; margin-top: 18px 0 5px 0; /* margin-top only gets 1 value, margin can have 4 */ } Even with all that, I didn't notice any flicker on my mac until I cleared my cache and reloaded several times. I think the issue is that the background-color on the image ( a reddish color ) shows through until the image is done loading. If that is the cause, it will be much more noticeable for people on slower connections as the image will take longer to load. You may be able to get the same look by moving the color to the image borders and moving the image border to tha a tag. hth Roger, Roger Roelofs "Remember, if you’re headed in the wrong direction, God allows U-turns!" ~Allison Gappa Bottke ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
