Introduction
This is a real quick tip for web developers:
I was working on a MVC5 web site, and changed to a theme with a dark background. I noticed that when I clicked a link that navigated to another page on the site, the entire browser window would flash a white background before rendering the new page.
I fixed this by moving all of the JavaScript loading to be the last thing in the body
tag, and left all the CSS file loading at the top.
It was a simple fix to an annoying visual effect. It would be real nice if the MVC template was changed to reflect this paradigm.
History
- 2019.02.22 - Initial publication
I've been paid as a programmer since 1982 with experience in Pascal, and C++ (both self-taught), and began writing Windows programs in 1991 using Visual C++ and MFC. In the 2nd half of 2007, I started writing C# Windows Forms and ASP.Net applications, and have since done WPF, Silverlight, WCF, web services, and Windows services.
My weakest point is that my moments of clarity are too brief to hold a meaningful conversation that requires more than 30 seconds to complete. Thankfully, grunts of agreement are all that is required to conduct most discussions without committing to any particular belief system.
