I believe it has to do with this CSS being put out by the FlaGallery Plugin, specifically the -webkit-transition and transition lines.
.flagPhantom_Container {
opacity: 1;
text-align: center;
-moz-transition: opacity 1s;
-webkit-transition: opacity 1s;
-o-transition: opacity 1s;
-ms-transition: opacity 1s;
transition: opacity 1s;
}
When I use the code inspector in safari and comment out either of the bold lines, the elements become visible immediately. I’ve tried to override the transition style and timing using “!important” but nothing I try works.
