  1. POWebsite flickering/flashing/blinking in Chrome on iPads after using JavaScript to update page with images and text
    text
    copied!<p>Our web page flickers on iPads after we add images or text to the page using JavaScript. We have tried various combinations of <code>-webkit-backface-visibility:hidden; -webkit-transform-style:preserve-3d; -webkit-transform:translate3d(0,0,0)</code> against different elements. Since we tile a background image, we can't apply these styles to the body but can apply them to all DIVs, which helps but doesn't remove the issue.</p> <p>The issue gets triggered here:</p> <pre><code>$( screenshots ).each( function() { var img = $( document.createElement('img') ); // Set image source img.attr( 'src', this ); // Append new screenshot screenshots_box.append( img ); }); // Render description $( page ).find( '.desc' ).html( data.description.replace(/\n/g, '&lt;br/&gt;') ); $( page ).find( '.desc' ).removeClass( 'loading' ); </code></pre> <p>If we comment out the lines that update the DOM, the flickering vanishes.</p> <p>To reproduce:</p> <p>1) On your tablet, using Chrome or Safari, visit <a href="http://www.tekiki.com/itunes-store/apps/free-apps/app/a-wheel-of-wopple-free-formerly-boggle-nytimes-fortune?itunes-store-id=481584214">http://www.tekiki.com/itunes-store/apps/free-apps/app/a-wheel-of-wopple-free-formerly-boggle-nytimes-fortune?itunes-store-id=481584214</a>.</p> <p>2) The page will initially load, but after we dynamically update the page with data from iTunes, sections of the page will flicker/flash/blink momentarily.</p>
