IE background image flash *solved*
The IE background flash has plagued web developers for quite a while. There are a few things that cause this, and you can read about it here, Basically, when you hover over an element with certain properties, IE will ask the server if it has been modified, and the background image will flash.
All the existing solutions to this problem have been either css hacks or server side changes to image expiration.
Dan POPA has found a javascript solution:
try {
document.execCommand( "BackgroundImageCache", false, true );
} catch( e ) { };
wow
