Solved: Dreamweaver and IE

as7740a · 10-Oct-2007, 01:43 PM #1

I finally finished a website in Dreamweaver (after working out all the Spry menu kinks), and now whenever I click the intra-site links in IE, the page background color flashes before the whole page displays. (The bg color is a dim gold that is very distracting in such high concentrations). Here is the page:

I'd appreciate any help.

This is becuase it looks as though your sites background colour is set to orange:

HTML Code:

body {
	background-color: #f4b800;
}

If you remove thise or change the colour it wil not change orange every time the page loads, but then some other styles may be effected as the menu may use this to set it's background i don't know without more looking.

What version of IE are you using to via the site? I took a peek using IE 6 and noticed a lot more than background color flashes. I'll see if I can post some screenshots later on.

Peace...

Remove the highlighted line and then upload the file again....

or you can also try setting this color to white using
background-color: #ffffff instead of using #f4b800;
