Confirmed that by:

// remarked wp_enqueue_script('jquery');

it disables a vertical menu

I have to put it back in now as it was before as client does look at this dev site.

Amusing how people like (Andrea_r) on the Wordpress Forum have nothing better to do than. Reply to every problem with. "That's just what it does. Live with it." Instead of actually finding a solution to the problem.

ie:
"Andrea_r: I'm on a slower internet connection and I see it on every single new site I visit . "

That's what you get for using a slow internet connect.

"Andrea_r: More code = longer load time. Longer load time = your screen is white till it loads."

That's so retarded and unhelpful. We are using FIOS here and this isn't the issue.


"Andrea_r: I'm not using IE or Windows. "

Well WTF. Why does this person even bother to reply. She is as retarded as her profile pic makes her look. She looks a bit touched honestly.

I hate these snobby elitists that would rather dismiss a legitimate problem than admit they are clueless to the solution.

Yikes. What are the mods of WordPress Forum for if they are so unhelpful?

Oh yeah. That's right. They only enforce the forum rules. They don't actually help. (Other than stating the obvious.)

Besides this person most likely works the night shift at Walgreens in real life. So what else should I expect...

that's pretty funny, and you're not the first person to say that - I know Andrea and her husband, they are top notch WP devs and do alot development w/ BuddyPress & WPMU, but I agree, she should just stay out of the WP forums, she's not very user-friendly

I've now had success using this trick:

Place this in your header before the calls to the CSS. In IE, the page loads before the CSS thus the flash. This should remedy it -- at least it has for me on most sites I've tested with:

<script type=”text/javascript”>
</script>

Do let me know if it works for you or if we are back to the white-flash-drawing-board!

I downgrade to WP 3.1 then I ate a whole pizza by myself.

That was my solution.

Worked for me.

This code added to functions.php solved my 3.2.1 white flash problems.

// Downgrade to jQuery 1.4.4 in order to support jQuery Tools function downgrade_jquery() {        global $wp_scripts;         // We want to use version 1.4.4 of jQuery, but it may break something in the admin so we only load it on the actual site.        if ( !is_admin() ) :                wp_deregister_script('jquery');                wp_register_script('jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js', false, '1.4.4');        endif; } add_action( 'wp_head', downgrade_jquery() );

I didn't pay close attention to this thread, but having upgraded to the latest Artisteer, I am having problems with flashing in IE.

I've read through this thread, but wondered if the was a definitive fix for this, ie what to change in which file?!

although Abland seems to have a better understanding of jQuery than I do, I'll venture an educated guess and say that jQuery is loading slower than your other page elements. if you have a few jQuery dependent plugins (like NextGen) that could be the issue.

that being said, I have no idea how to resolve it.

Thanks Gary,
As I mentioned, the problem is only in IE and only when the page is refreshed -- ie not clciked from a link on the page.

It isn't so much a white plash as the background loading first. It starts with the plain colour of the background and then the image itself so that it appears to flash through the sheet.

It looks odd!

I should have posted a link: http://chadkirkdogtrainingclub.org.uk

As mentioned, the 'oddness' appears when refreshing in IE.

:-(
I recently upgraded to WP 3.3.1 , and IE doesnt suffer the Issue, Chrome & Firefox do.... which makes me wonder if WP fixed it for IE, but somehow the cousins didnt get a look in....

Its driving me nuts (like a steering wheel down my shorts) .
www.balimoonvilla.com is the site

Ive tried the blank javascript call, and that dog wont hunt...
<script type=”text/javascript”>
</script>

Im not comfortable downgrading as I just got evrything else working.

Ive now read a lot of posts on this and other forums, and admit to being somewhat lost now
;-) ;-)
