Hi Riva
Try adding

meta http-equiv=Page-Enter content=blendTrans(Duration=0.1)

into the head/head section of each page. This slows deleting of the old
page. IE has a fade-out/fade-in option when changing webpages.
Setting the fade time 0 .1 sec is  harmless for the visitor, and long enough
to prevent flickering:

Hope this works.

Hi Kieron,

Thanks for the reply. The transition:

meta http-equiv=Page-Enter content=blendTrans(Duration=0.1)

is what solved the problem. :-)

 You do have a transition set on each page:

 meta http-equiv=Page-Enter content=blendTrans(Duration=0.1)

 This may be causing what you see. Alternatively, try setting no-repeat
 on the background image since the image is static.

Hi Riva,
I noticed in some pages there is a double reference to the background 
image: one in the css body { background:..} but one in the html as well: 
body background=images/backgroundjune.jpg. For instance in: 
index.htm, whatis.htm and expect.htm.
Then in the css there is also a * html #bodytext {...} with the same 
bg-img.
Maybe reasons why IE is flashing (or maybe not, it's IE  ;-) ).

And in some pages there is a /div too much (under/above the footer, 
depending on the footer inside the wrapper or not).

I suppose this are some rests of earlier tests. Deleting them will 
diminish (but not exclude) the risk of strange things happening in IE 
(and others).

Should be good to give the html-validator 
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.starqualitydesigns.com%2FMoodus%2Fexpect.htmcharset=%28detect+automatically%29doctype=Inliness=1verbose=1
 
a chance every now  then! :-)
And the css-validator 
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css2warning=2uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.starqualitydesigns.com%2FMoodus%2Fexpect.htm
 
as well. :-)

Greetings,
francky

Hi Francky,

The reason behind the double reference is editing that I forgot to undo. 
I saw articles on line about putting the image inside something but not 
something else, etc. and so I tried it.  Thank you for pointing this 
out. I will remove it.

Have look at
http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/72983
in the list archives and see if it helps - I know the original question 
was to do with :hover, but a large background image would show the same 
effect.

There are other related posts in the archives; see
