Photos make webpage bounce

[bob2005 0]

Can the webpage format (HTML) be adjusted so that when a page has photos it doesn't jerkily bounce up and down as the photos load and the post I want to see disappears?

Not really. If you stay at the top until the page has fully loaded then it won't bounce but that really does not solve your problem.

 

The web page designer can also prevent this by specifying the size of images and thus reserving space in the page for them before they have downloaded. That obviously would not work for a forum like this where the designer has no idea what size images will be posted.

 

The best and really the only solution is to have a fast connection so you don't have to wait for pics to download.

I have a 786 Kbps line so photobucket (etc) slowness may be why the pics take a while to download and bounce the page. Often I stop the page to stop the pics loading because I've usually seen them on a previous view. Just hoped there was some software that could look up the pic sizes and pre-format the page.
