If you hate that slight flicker in IE browser between page transitions then you will find this snippet useful.
When user navigate from one page to another in IE, there is slight “white out” before this transition. Whereas in Firefox and other browsers this page transition is very smooth. IE browser will show blank page for very short duration before showing content of next page. User experience this effect more like flicker on the browser. If your web application has more post backs then it become more annoying to users.
To reduce this flicker in IE, simple add below META tags in HEAD section of your page.
<META http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="blendTrans(Duration=0.05)" /> <META http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="blendTrans(Duration=0.05)" />
By reducing the duration between fading previous content and revealing new content, user experience relatively smooth transition between pages.
This snippet has only impact on IE and not on other browsers.
