Page refresh difference - IE6 v Firefox 2.0

Same images on 2 pages - OK in FF but reload in IE6

[DrMopp]

Two of my web pages have same banner (flash) and background image (declared in CSS).

In Firefox, when moving between the two pages only the body of the page changes as intended, but in IE6 the whole page reloads causing an unsightly momentary 'flash'. I've read about the so-called 'flash of unstyled content' in CSS text-books, but they all say this only applies to IE5 and below - anyone know a way round this? (First post so sorry if this is the wrong forum!)

First, welcome to the forums. I moved this over here because i thought you might get a bit more tracktion from the css gurus over here.

Then again maybe not!

Actually, FOUCs happens from IE 5 and above, not below :)

The way you can fix it is by having more than one stylesheet present :)
