Background colour problem when pages load

I use dark colours for my site and I divide the page into several frames.

When pages load there's a short period of time (real short) that a white background, instead of the dark background colour I used, is displayed before the next page or frame is fully loaded. The white flashes in between dark pages are loaded cause discomfort to the eyes.

I've seen many other websites with dark colours and they don't have such problem.

I'm using dreamweaver MX to compose my pages and I use IE to browse it.

Any suggestions? Thanx

Do you have that dark background color assigned to the
body/html
? Are you using CSS?

dear pageoneresults, yes, i'm using CSS. i've just checked the html tag of my pages to find out i've not assigned any style to the body. so do you mean that it could be solved by assigning the background colour style to the body tag?

anyway i'll try right away.

thanx

pageoneresults, i've just edited the "body" tag of my pages by assigning the background colour to it. but the situation's the same. any idea?

leosghost, i've seen many other sites with dark colour background without such problem. so i wonder there's should be a way to fix it.

Hard to tell what is going on at this point. I would have placed this in the external stylesheet instead of assigning background colors to the

<body>
tag.

body, html{color:#000000;background:#ffffff;}

Change the Hex values to meet your requirements.
