I'd try preloading the image, either via script or by making the blocking message a hidden div. The "Dom Element as Message" example on this page uses existing markup as the message:

That may give the browser enough of a breath to position and render the image correctly. Mike On Aug 21, 11:22 am, xxkylexx <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Anyone else with any ideas?
