How To Solve Flickering Background Images

 

If you're using CSS sprites as background images for links or buttons, you'll notice that the image will flicker briefly in Internet Explorer 6. The reason is because IE6 doesn't properly cache the background image and reloads it every time. You can fix this with a single line of JavaScript that forces IE6 to cache the image.

 

document.execCommand("BackgroundImageCache",false,true);
