IE Page Flicker on Load
April 9, 2013 12:00 AM
When advancing to new pages in IE there is an "flash" of white while the entire contents of the page loads.
This is an old issue and a previous post (below) resolved the issue for me. But with an upgrade to IE 10 on Windows 7, the solution no longer works.
<*--[if IE]>
<~meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="blendTrans(Duration=0.3)">
<~meta http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="blendTrans(Duration=0)">
<*[endif]-->
This external html used to work, (replacing * with an exclaimation mark, and removing the tilde) in fact it still works with earlier versions of IE, but not IE 10.
Does anyone have a solution that works for IE versions newer that 8?

Your solution uses IE Filters (e.g. blendTrans is a filter). Filters are no longer supported in IE10: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/hh801219(v=vs.85).aspx
So IE10 is now in the same boat as Chrome, Safari or Firefox.
I have searched this forum and only found this original post and Ben's earlier post.
Admittedly, it's been a while since my original post because I was able to uninstall IE10 and I learned that our company had not upgraded beyond IE8. So the result was that I was able to live in ignorant bliss thinking the meta tag for "blendTrans" was and would be working fine. Which it did.
But now I have been forced to upgrade to IE9 which no longer supports the "blendTrans" meta tag. I have not really used Lectora 11 much because I have to exchange Lectora files with a contractor who is still on 10. I was wondering if Lectora 11 has any new special way of adding smoother transitions between pages.
Has anyone found a solution? JQuery? JavaScript?

This issue has been on my mind for a long time and have not really pursued it too much. If anything, Lectora should create a solution for this and tout it as a new feature...
Just a thought.

I contacted Trivantis Support earlier this week with the same issue.
They say..."Unfortunately there is nothing that we can do to correct that. The 'flash' is something that all browsers do when loading up a different webpage."
Not great news for me, at the very end of a project which I thought was looking pretty good but now looks embarrassingly terrible.
Please let me know the solution on page flicker. As i want to implement lectora but due to this issue we are unable to use lectora. Has anyone found a solution please let me know.
Sachin, could you please elaborate? These posts are from 2013. Which version IE are you talking about? Please include an attached sample of what you have created that has this flicker you are talking about.
when I publish to executable, the page gets a “spinner”, flickers and takes a while to load when I am using clickable icons to navigate around the course. causing the biggest problem – like it has to refresh for every page. When I publish to html, there is no flicker in either Chrome or IE8 (version I am in). Need some tips on how to get rid of this problem in an executable! Help!
It happens when i upload any course on SCORM Cloud and play it with all IE version (including latest version) and latest version of Crome browser, when (clicking on next button) undefined page blinks). I don't know it's a browser problem or Lectora. bt it happen for all courses. any help will be appreciated. thanks in advance.
