[Pro] a challenge for all challenges

Can someone tell me why this 1st page flashes black prior to the Supersizer background image showing while the second link does not?

http://hoffkids.com/bgtestfromblk.html

http://hoffkids.com/backgroundtest.html

THe difference between the two is the following…
The first page HAD a black background on the page that was removed prior to putting the background supersizer action on.

The second one had a BLANK master2 then added the BG action.

The reason I need to figure this out, is because I am going to add the BG action to a page I made already w/black background which I will remove. Therefore I need to figure it out becuase I have the page done already I just want to change the black out for the action and want it to work like the 2nd link above.

Thanks.

new info.

on the page that flashes black which I have “none” as the page background, I changed it from none to a picture just to see what happens and it still flashes black.

All I can think of is it is affected because it is working off of MASTER1 which has a black background?

I also tried making the background WHITE and this helped the problem a little bit…
as it flashes white instead

Because your body tag has a background property of #111 (almost black).

Open the main Styles Editor and look for a style name named ‘body’ (though technically it’s a tag name, not a ‘style’) and see if there’s a background property.

do I go to EDIT at the top, then styles?

Sure, that’s one way.

Then open the Inspector palette and click the ‘brush’ icon, you should see a ‘Background’ picker … choose a color.

The background color is in an external stylesheet produced, I assume, by
the action. If you look at the file referenced in the head of your document
you will see it “Resources/supersized.css”

You can manually edit that, but why – that doesn’t change anything but what
color ‘flashes’ before the image loads. I say live with it, it’s not too
bad.

of course I did that- the background color says “None”

what made you say that there was something that says body tag property#111?

BIg Erns,

I have to disagree because if that was true it would always flash black when the BG action was used wouldn’t it?

I showed that when I started with a clean master2 it did not flash black; doesn;t this prove it must be related to how my page was BEFORE I removed the black background (which also seems coincidental to be black and that is what I had before I removed it…)

I’m looking at the stylesheet for the action and the body tag has background of #111. That’s where it’s coming from. Remove it and see for yourself.

Todd, sorry you must think I know what I am doing (beginner here).

I have zero idea when you say you looked at the stylesheet for the action and the body tag…

I have no idea how to see it , remove it, etc…

Thanks for your help, I just have no idea on this end…

Then go back into the Styles Editor and create a new style like this:

  1. In the ‘Tag’ field enter ‘body’ (no quotes).
  2. TAB over to the ‘Name’ field and if there’s anything in that field DELETE it and TAB out; it needs to be empty.
  3. Select a background attribute and pick the white color (not ‘None’).

See if that helps.

There’s a CSS file named ‘supersizer’ in the Resources folder for your site. If you were to open that file in a proper text editor you will see that there are 3 instances of: background: #111;.

That’s how I know it’s coming from that stylesheet, I ‘extracted’ the 'sheet from your site with a 3rd Party CSS tool.

On both pages you posted. But it’s going to be on any page that uses Supersizer.
