I've noticed that when a panel is updated in the DMX the entire page flashes white just before you see the change. This seems to only occur in Firefox 2 as I haven't see the issue using IE7, FF3 or Sarfari . I poked around and it seems to me that the issue is caused by the following series of javascript events:- dom modified - setTimeout call The page goes blank after the dom modification and isn't restored until after the setTimeout completes. All display updates after componentart callbacks complete seem to be using this method, which is probably an unneeded work around as discribed here: http://weblogs.asp.net/in...-an-updatepanel.aspx

Hi Allen, Thanks a bunch for your research. This is very valuable information for DMX users. I did notice the flicker but had not come round to do the research yet. As FF3 seems to solve the issue, it will probably die off as people adapt FF3. DMX uses third party components to render stuff on screen. This allows us to do wonderful stuff, but it does make the solution reliant on other people's work. I cannot repair the CA/FF2 flicker error myself. All I can do is to keep updating DMX with the latest installments from CA and keep feeding back issues to the CA team when they surface. Thanks, Peter

Thanks Peter, That's what I thought but I wasn't sure how much ComponentArt access you had. I figured that you would be in a better position to push the issue upstream, being a componentart subscriber.

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
