I have had issues with jQuery cross-fades where elements would abruptly appear exactly as you describe when the HTML wasn't valid. Run the page through a validator and correct any syntax issues, and see if the issue remains. I've had several issues like this.
JQuery seems to have a strong preference for valid HTML.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
