Thanks for the responses everyone. I tried refactoring to use scrollLeft instead of absolute positioning for the slide animation on the project, but it didn't help (same stuttering issues). I ended up going back to the absolute positioning and just targeting Firefox specifically for a fade effect rather than a slide.
I chose to leave the absolute positioning animation in because with scrollLeft, it scrolled the absolutely positioned arrow buttons as well. I could have switched these to fixed positioning but then they still wouldn't stay put in IE6. Since the scrollLeft version didn't fix the stutter, I figured it wasn't worth dealing with these additional issues. Thanks again for the feedback. - Joe On Aug 18, 2:44 am, Samer Ziadeh <samerzia...@gmail.com> wrote: > sorry out of topic but i love the "Obviously" lol > > > > On Sat, Aug 15, 2009 at 05:41, lrbabe <lrb...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > And using an absolute positioning on the elements to animate prevents > > a reflow (= important boost). > > > On Aug 14, 11:29 pm, Joe <thewast...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Is there anything that can be done about poor performance with some > > > animations in Firefox?
