So I have seen lots of posting on this very subject but not one has  
worked for me. My problem is that annoying flicker when you use  
slide\_down. Here is my code:

:complete =\> visual\_effect(:blind\_down, “pickens”, :duration =\> 1.00)

Thats is a part of my link\_to helper call. Here is my div:

Anyone have any suggestions on how tyo get rid of that flicker? Thanks,

I don’t understand your response. Did changing your div from  
display: hidden to display: none help? Or is it something else?

And, yes, I think it is Friday. I work at home, and the days start  
to run together after a while, so I never can be really sure, though.

Peace,  
Phillip
