I created a chat room using a single html/asp/javascript combined page with 10-second refreshing interval. It works smoothly and refresh quietly in FireFox and other browsers but not IE (I tested IE8).
The problem is that when IE refreshes the page each time, all images and tables are all reloaded again, so you see the page flickering so much, disturbing the chatter very much.
Especially when I use javascript function...
