delays in netscape 6

[kimraznov]

i am really frustrated, i have several pages that each contain seperate rollovers called using a simple dreamweaver function. when i test the pages locally, all is fine. but when i upload the pages to my site, there is a noticeable delay between the active state and the rollover state... this only occurs in netscape 6.

rollover html and then when you click on html rollover any of the links in the menu.

i am on a dsl connection and the pages are of a reasonable size, so i have sort of ruled it out as a bandwith issue.


also, even after the pages have been cached, the problem still occurs.

thanks, kim

I checked your site and my Netscape 6.2 handles rollovers very good (as expected), without any delays. At the opposite, there were delays in IE5.

One think I dislike on your site is the line: "requires IE... N6". My Opera didn't show any problems on any part of it, including DHTML text layers in portfolio/services/etc sections. Dreamweaver scripts are very good for cross-browser use.
Don't make the same mistakes as other do.

good luck

holoden,
I found an interesting info on your issue. There's some rollover bug in Netscape 6.0 that I didn't see because I have the latest N6.2

Here's a fix for it, you have to use a timer to force the rollovers: [tt]
function forceIt(){
setTimeout("swapImageFunc()",1);
}[/tt]

This bug is only in Netscape 6. It was fixed in Netscape 6.01 and the newer builds of Mozilla.

good luck
