When I hover over a menu button it turns white in IE and transparent in FF for about 2 seconds then displays the correct hover image. This happens the first time you hover, then it behaves normally after that.
Take a look here http://www.preferreddigitalprints.com/
I think I have something messed up in the CSS but can figure out what it is. I'm hoping someone has seen this before and would be kind enough to point me in the right direction.
Here's my CSS:

Menu buttons briefly turn white when...Putting your page through the html validator bought up a few errors
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1%26amp;uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.preferreddigitalpri nts.com%2F
The most important error is that the page isn't using a doctype.?This could account for the bugginess of the page.?A page without a doctype will render CSS in quirks mode and not display the page as intended in some browsers.
Please insert a doctype at the top of the document, then put the page through the validator again to see what errors remain, fix those, and hopefully the page will load OK.?I didn't look at the navbar images, but make sure that they are optimized for the web, because that can also cause a slow down on loading them.
I recommend using the transitional doctype.

:Menu buttons briefly turn white when...Nadia,
I added the doctype and I'll work on correcting those errors shown in the html validator. However I think what you said about the button images possibly needing to be web optimized might indeed be the problem. When you hover over a button for the first time, it takes 1-2 seconds for the hover image to load, then once the image has loaded you can hover again and it displays immediatly. The images are 7-10 kb each. Does that seem too large to be web optimized?
I can see you're very generous with your time helping so many people here and I thank you kindly for your response!
