Nick gave me five different things to try here to fix this flickering. One was to 'take a trip bsck to 1996 and set 'WIDTH' and 'HEIGHT' attributes -- which he was sure to note was NOT what I wanted to do. But, for the time being, that's what I did do. And it seems to have worked! Maybe he or Big John can verify this?
I say I did this for the time being because another of Nick's suggestions was to make all of the images the same size and call the size in CSS (or a couple of sizes assigned different classes). This will take me more time than I have tonight, but because the 'WIDTH', 'HEIGHT' attribute assignment worked, that leads me to believe this other will, too. In other words, if FF knows how much space it needs to fit the images in up front, it doesn't have to re-adjust, thereby eliminating the 'flicker'. Does that make sense? I'll read any response I may get as I redo those images in the morning! Thanks again to all who've helped out here.

Another image arrives and we're back to step 3. That actually sounds like a reasonable theory! What puzzles me tho is that I see this same kind of flickering going on in the horizontal direction as well as the vertical, and often both at once. Could it be the same scrolling effect working both ways? Hmmmm... I can report that on the news sites I visit, it happens with some regularity. I did manage to get Bill's site up on server as a test page, and it's showing the flicker, so I'll be testing this scrolling idea out right away. Should have done it months ago, oy.
