Site Darkening Problem

Internet Explorer darkening sometimes for some users

[bronze]

Hi,

Our some users have a strange problem related our site. Their screen is darkening and their ie browser is locking after twenty minutes when entering to our site. Our page doesn't include any iframe or refreshed page except adsense, so it is very confusing because only some users have this problem. Do you have any experience or idea about this problem?

<SNIP>

Thanks
Bronze

I once wrote a flash movie that accidentally spawned an infinite number of sprites and, given enough time, could bring any computer to it's knees. Perhaps errant flash movie coding could be the cause?

Thanks whoisgregg for idea, we haven't got any flash movie on page. I guess now this problem related with css files, so i changed <style type='text/css' media='all'><!-- @import url($themecss); --></style> to <link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' ... I read ie6 sometimes can't render imported css files, I am waiting responses of my users now.

Thanks

Your users spend more than twenty minutes on your site?

I hope you have CPM advertising.

bronze, I use @import for CSS about four years now and have never heard of any problem.
However, the '$themecss' variable.. are you using a style switcher? A JavaScript one? Or other JS?

@monkeythumpa, our users are online during hours.

@span, i don't use style switcher, but i am using some js files. I will check all included files one by one. Our users doesn't report any darkening yet after css importing changing.

Thanks your interest.
