So, a common problem with IE is the nasty, ever evil, Flash of Unstyled Content. Usually seen when trying to implement a CSS-based menu (usually dropdowns), IE will display the ordered list for a brief moment while it tries to load the rest of the page, then the styling for the list will appear and all will be well. Everything functions properly, but it's just damn annoying to see. IE will also have a similar problem with loading up image - especially background images: you'll have your page, and when you click from one link to the next, the background image is gone for a moment while the content appears. Then the background "pops in" - like a flash. Again, functioning fine, just annoying as hell. How to fix?
