Hi.
I am working on an AJAX enabled project where we wrote and using our own grid web control.This web control is dyamically resizing with the size change of the browser window. All works fine, but in FF(v2.0.0.11) we are experiencing issues with the grid resizing on client side.What happens is that at every search request the grid is built up as new with the requested data and is resized to the panel size where the grid is actually sitting in.The client side resizing is all smooth (IEv7, Opera, Safari) except in FF, where the resize change is entirely visible and cause a typical flashing, blinking.
Now here comes the weird thing, which I found when experimenting a bit:
when I place a simple alert box after the javascript function which does the resizing, the flick/flash is not present at least is not visible anymore.One more again the alert box is after the actual function which is setting the width, height.
Can anyone suggest what can be the cause of this weird event?Is just FF client script slower to compare with IE, Opera or Safari?Than again why happens the above stuff just described with an alert box?
Hope someone can asnwer this question and might help a bit.
Cheers
An alert box is modal and stops all processing on the page until it is dismissed, so the "flashing" will probably go away.

hi ken,
I think the flickering UI issue was not causing my problem, as the my web control does not flick, but to be more precise it does a VISIBLE resize...which means the position of the web control is the same, the web control does not flick, but the width and height are visibly resized.
An issue like that is almost impossible to correct on a forum. There is too much code involved for one of us to duplicate the problem, not even considering the data necessary.

well I am not asking for correction...just an advice, or most probably experience as maybe someone already had a similar issue.otherwise I registered the flickering UI solving script but did not help, so continuing to find the source of the problem.
