Hi,

my image rollovers (based on Doc Ozones tutorial) work fine in almost every browser (tested with NS 4.5, 4.7, IE4,5,6, Opera6) but not with Netscape 6.2.
There is an ugly flicker, the image seems to have a black border for a short time and you can see the background of the page.

I can reproduce the same effect for the

Ok, i found a solution:
Apply a timeout to the changing of an images source.

Sounds simple ?
Well then maybe this hint should be added to 99% of the published rollover tutorials and examples claiming to work for Netscape 6+

Mozilla web browser (Shitscape 6 is based on Mozilla) still doesn't have caching fully implemented, and that's why sometimes it reloads images on rollover.

BTW I would suggest you to always use the latest version of Mozilla instead of Shitscape 6, since it's more up to date.

It's kinda hard to write something that will work on all versions of NN6+ The DOM support improves greatly with each build.

It's coming along quite well but still needs a few tweaks.
