I originally wrote this question about a jQuery plugin. I since attempted another code using just jQuery:
$('#action-alerts .rotate:gt(0)').hide();
setInterval(function(){
$('#action-alerts .rotate:first-child').fadeOut(600)
.next('.rotate').delay(600).fadeIn(600)
.end().appendTo('#action-alerts');},
3000);
This code still has the flickering issue in iOS. How do I solve this issue?
Below is my original question:
I am using a jQuery Plugin called Quote Rotator. It works great in the browser, however, in iOS (v6) when the transition happens it flickers. It is quite annoying and I am not sure how to solve the flicker issues. I have read about -webkit-backface-visibility
but I do not believe this is the case. First I already had this code in my stylesheet:
body {
-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
}
Second doesn't this just apply to CSS 3 Transitions? (Or is my understanding incorrect?)
What should I try to solve this issue?
HTML
<div id="action-alerts">
<ul>
<li>
<div class="quote-holder">
<div class="grid_10">
<h3 class="action-box-red"><span class="alert-icon">Text</span></h3>
</div>
<div class="grid_2">
<a target="_blank" href="#" class="default_button xlarge textcenter red">Read the <br> Report</a>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="quote-holder">
<div class="grid_10">
<h3 class="action-box-red"><span class="alert-icon">Text</span></h3>
</div>
<div class="grid_2">
<a target="_blank" href="#" class="default_button xlarge textcenter red">Take <br> Action</a>
</div>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
JS:
$(function() {
$('#action-alerts').quote_rotator({
rotation_speed: 9000
});
});
Notes: I have more HTML than posted here. This is a snippet. I am using jQuery 1.8.3. I do not mind changing to another plugin if it works (Meaning it creates a simple fade transition between <li>
elements.) I have attempted to use Quovolver before Quote Rotator but I had issues and could not get it to work.
