Hi Bruno,

Thanks for the response.  Yeah, I am aware of the cache setting issue - 
I have IE set to check for newer versions "Automatically" which AFAIK is 
the default.  I had friends check the page, and they saw the flicker 
too, so I don't think it's just me.

I'll try the workarounds, but one question first - did you test running 
XP with Service Pack 2 installed?  I ask because I am thinking that IE 
might override the cache setting when on https under SP2 -- there are 
some similar security-related features introduced with SP2, but I was 
unaware of this.
