I have built a page dynamically using JavaScript and some OEM ActiveX controls.

Basically, it is several tables that display numeric values as text. In one of the tables, I have need to display the date and time of the PC, so I added the DIV tag and assigned it a name. So every second I call a routine that builds the date time string that I then write to the DIV tag using innerhtml.

That all works great!

The problem is, I would say 70% of the time (7 of 10 seconds), the whole screen kind of flashes like the whole screen is being redrawn. I think this is a result of updating the time because I can disable that code and the flashing stops. However, if you watch it say for 3 of 10 seconds the pc date and time update but the screen didn't flash.

I am at a loss here, don't have a clue what is causing this.

Any help would be appreciated!
