We spent a lot of time creating these CSS animated pop-ups that described parts of the product. They looked great, but the client called and said they were "flickering" on her computer. We debugged and could not for the life of us figure out what she meant by flicker. The code was so simple that we couldn't imagine how it could be flickering. It was just a jQuery fadeIn(). It worked fine for us in every browser we tried. So we just gave up. The next day, the client called back and said,"Hey, it looks great. You fixed the flickering. How did you do it?" And our dev replied, "Uh, we set the flicker to 0".

    @Alice There was CSS. There was jQuery.

    @itsdaniel0 We didn't fix it. We never truly knew what the client meant by 'flicker'. Maybe their computer was just really slow, or their GPU was spotty. Essentially, it wasn't broken, as we tested it in every browser we could and it worked fine. The client was using IE and we tested it successfully in IE.
