As Far As I Can Tell


We have snow.

Tech Note:
Yesterday I found a strange bug (feature?) in Internet Explorer. If you run this browser and are in the habit of fiddling with your default settings, listen up. If you set your Temporary Internet Files settings to be “Every visit to the Page”, then IE goes out and grabs a new image on every rollover, instead of using the preloaded image.

I noticed this because I had some rollovers that were really sluggish, but performed just fine in NS6. I even went so far as to make a page that demonstrated 3 different ways to do preloading and rollovers so that I could test each one’s performance. Then I did some research and found out about the setting above.

So if you’re running IE, to into Tools > Internet Options > Temporary Internet Files > Settings, and set it for “Automatically”. It will speed up your browsing. Of course this is the default, so if you haven’t messed with anything, you’re just fine.
