[Bf-webcontent] "dotted semitransparent background image" in the header terribly slows my FF...

[Daniel Schalla]

Hi Marco & Dan,

I think the problem is not that the site uses
background's radial-gradient, rather that it doesn't have any fallback 
solutions.

I can recommend using the CSS3 Gradient Generator, which sets up everything
proper, also with fallbacks: http://www.colorzilla.com/gradient-editor/

On that way older browsers should get a proper view. On the opposite, 
maybe use
modernizr to find out the browser version and set a class to avoid this.

Concerning the choppyness Dan descriped, I would count on the Slider. A 
huge slider
uses really some CPU usage. That is my expierence with many sites I 
programmed
some sliders, shouldn't have something to do with CSS Problem.

Maybe a preloader would reduce that, unsure.

Best Regards,
Daniel
