I'm not sure why you're using a background image. To my (old) eyes the background looks like a solid grey. You could do that with setting the background color.hey group,
odd problem here:
www.gamerdb.net
using IE, that page seems to take AGES to load the background. why is this? it is a 2*2 gif...
moz handles it just fine.
when i click on STATS
i seem to see a wipe effect down the page while the background fills in...
ODD???
Help!
Cheers!
Anyway the reason your page takes so long to render is that your image is too small. Make the background image larger (16x16 for example, maybe even 32x32). It takes the browser longer to render a small image a lot of times than it does a larger image fewer times. I know that you wanted the image small so that it will download quickly, but the render time on an image that small more than makes up for the gain in download time. Making the image larger doesn't add that much to the download time (even on 28k) and dramatically speeds up the render time.
