Hi

I have 3 column table layout and it is loading with jerky action.
It is mainly seen in firefox.

This is sample page:
http://griffinjourna...menu=283&mad=No

You can see all 3 columns jerks, before page is loaded completely.
Just refresh above page 2-3 times to see the effect.
All 3 columns are having width, still this is happening.

How to resolve this?

I see a lot of Javascript in the code, are you positioning or resizing in Javascript? That might be an issue.

Javascript is just for showing ads. It has nothing to do with positioning or resizing.
Just refresh sample page 2-3 times and you will see the action during loading of page.

Hello. After visiting your website in Chrome, Firefox AND IE, and refreshing multiple time's, I don't see any jerking. The 3rd column takes about 1.4 second's to load which is pushing the size of the first and second column to make up for the 3rd column, but there is no jerking. Like jrm402 said, if there was to be any jerking, it would be all the javascript loading...

I think problem is with 2nd column, which is having javascript ads. If I remove 2nd column then jerk during loading is not observed.
The sample page given above is just for testing purpose. But on my real site there are lots of javascript ads in 2nd column. So jerk is observed during loading for more than 3-4 seconds.

Though there are javascript ads, it should not be problem with column width.
Columns are taking there width properly, but its a matter of 4-5 seconds before page is loaded completely.

Another thing to note too is a 'jerking' motion on websites is almost normal. I've been to countless websites where the menu loads dead center in the page then comes the content to push it to the left. I wouldn't be too worried about it unless it's really breaking your layout.
