I'm using a pretty simple scheme of sending the browser an XMLHTTP message which is the color to set the page to, and the Javascript then does a "document.body.style.background = new color", acknowledges the message with a "GET", and then waits for the next XMLHTTP message. But on Opera Mobile only 1 in 5 of the updates turns into a re-paint. I tried a bunch of stuff I found in a Google search to trick it into updating immediately, but nothing worked. It seems like it is using some sort of heuristic to decide when to re-paint, and whatever I'm doing seems to result in it ignoring the color change for many seconds. If you know someone who can throw some light on this, I'd be interested to know what's going on with it. Cheers, Graeme Gill.
