jquery fadeIn IE6 flicker

Sometimes, IE6 will flicker and image when you fade it in using jquery fadein() function.

This is because of IE internet options. To fix do this:

Internet Options / Temporary Internet Files / Settings / and changed the
"check for newer versions" setting to "every visit to the page".
