layout slowing browser

[PunkSktBrdr01]

I am working on a new layout for my site, and it is causing my browser to become slow and to scroll in an slow, jerking manner. I have never encountered this behaviour on any other site, and I cannot figure out how to fix it.

I've tested it in Firefox 0.9 and Konqueror, and both are behaving strangely. Any suggestions? :confused:

You using a fixed background image?

The tiling body background is fixed, the gradient at the bottom is fixed, and the header/nav background is fixed.

then thats why.

I tried removing the fixed background images, and that fixed the problem.

I tried to isolate which image was causing the problem, and I found that the gradient and the body background tile slow it down. The header/nav image doesn't affect it.

I tried setting the body tile to 'scroll', but it still slows it down. That's really odd, because many other sites have tiled backgrounds, and they all work fine.

Any idea why this is happening?

its just a lot for the browser to keep track of, I have the same problem with this

it does not like large background images in general I guess. Its a mozilla bug... one of the few killers.

Okay, thanks for the info.
