Good day

I have create an ASP.net website with a menu. These menu contains links to the Home, Application and contact us page.

The problem that I have is, that the screen goes white for a millisecond when I click on anyone of these links on the menu.

I have tried to use meta tags and place then in the head section. But it did not work.

XML

<meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="blendTrans(Duration=0.0)" />
<meta http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="blendTrans(Duration=0.0)" />

I have read the following articles, and all of them recommend to use AJAX.

Try using the attribute of the Page tag called MaintainScrollPositionOnPostBack set it to True.

The old and deprecated feature was called SmartNavigation and MaintainScrollPositionOnPostBack replaces it. With SmartNavigation there was less flicker with IE 5.5 and above.

If you need to make all the pages with the same attribute you can add it to the web.config file.

XML

<system.web>
    <pages maintainscrollpositiononpostback="true" />
</system.web>
