I have a web application without frames.

When I go from one page to another in IE6 or Mozilla, you don't see the transition.

When I do it in IE5, I see a flickering in the page.
I solved it using the DXTransform.Fade, but now it seems that this transition filter slows down the application drastically ...

is there another way to avoid the flickering in IE5?

Go to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced and make sure "Enable page transitions" is marked.

It does not seem to be a good solution ...
the option only enables the usage of the filters in the page .

I made a simple page with an image, a form and a single submit button. When clicking the submit button, you can see that the page is redrawed in IE. In mozilla, my page does not redraw.

There are advanced settings you are use in IE to turn off the offscreen buffer and make it write directly to video, or even speed up how often it updates from the buffer. Not sure if these are HTA specific or if you can adjust them from regular html (that would probably be a bad idea).

use google to research these: window.offscreenBuffering, window.screen.bufferDepth, window.screen.updateInterval

another approach is to look how you are rendering the screen, are you using document.write? or regular html? if document.write and you are using many document.writes, instead build up a variable with all the output data instead, and then write it all at once with a single document.write(htmldataexample)
