My overall impression is that VFP8 apps run noticably faster in most=20

operations. However, I'm getting a flicker when forms are refreshed that=

=20

didn't happen before.

Anyone else notice this with VFP8?

I have searched on several sites trying to find an answer to this

problem and I cannot. I have added Google ads to my site (

www.bluecollarmtb.com ) and they are doing a strange flicker thing when

I load the page in Firefox. It works fine with IE and Opera. Also, other

people can see it as I have gotten a few friends with firefox to test it

on their machine as well.

Google uses iframes to show their ads and from what I can tell, firefox

is not setting up the frame with enough height because you can scroll

the ads a bit up or down even though they are set at a height of 60.

Anyway, anybody know what is going on?

The flicker seems to only last as long as the blog is loading. As soon

as the page is complete, the flicker stops. Possibly something in the

WordPress template causing the iframe to reload when each entry is

added?

The 1px scroll might be caused by Firefox accounting for the 1px border

on the top differently than IE does, effectively making the image

height: 61px. Try making the iframe 61px and valign=top (or equivalent

confangled CSS), and see if the scroll stops.

I have fixed the iframe problem so the scrool thing isnt happening

anymore, however that didn't fix the flicker problem.

In my code I have wrapped the google javascript in an "if" statement so

it will only be posted under the first entry, so since the "if"

statement is failing, it should not be trying to reload it everytime. I

am completely lost.

Isolate Google's script call in an include file, and then have a php

check at the bottom of your blog template, such as: if post_id =

max(post_id), include google_ad.inc (else do nothing). That should make

it so the <div> appears only once client-side.

I hope. :)

I just re-read that a little slower, and it sounds like you're doing

exactly what I just said. I somehow got the impression you were using

javascript yourself to include/exclude Google's script! If this thing

is getting past php... well... It's certainly a conundrum!

obvious.

Not sure how to address this. Any ideas?

Unless anyone sees this as something to be improved upon, please disregard.

I fixed the issue by not using the DynamicCaption. Instead I subclassed the

form's update to refresh the caption.

Thanks,

It is complex; When I put in the Dynamic* for dColumn, I was testing on

Linux, that doesn't exhibit the screen flicker. On Windows though, it is

horrible. It's actually better than it was, but I need to rewrite how it

is handled. Perhaps I could try some Freeze/Thaw calls which would be

relatively easy though.

Please add a ticket to dabo, component 'ui', keywords 'dGrid flicker

dynamic'.

That's probably the best idea anyway. The Dynamic* properties of dColumn

are relative to the current row, so they are really meant for things

like BackColor, ForeColor, Font, etc.: things you want to look different

depending on the record it is representing. You probably don't want

Caption based on a particular row in the grid's dataset, but on

something external to that dataset.
