Weird CSS3 Transition (flickering)

Question

When I hover unto my button, it gives a white flash first when starting the transition. Why does it sort of flickers when I apply a css3 transition to my button? My brow

With a similar issue, Jan's suggestions helped improve for all background images but one. I got rid of the flickering of the last one by noticing two conflicting positioning rules. I had for a position:static one rule margin-top:-3em (minus) and the other one margin-top:5em (plus). Thus, I suggest you carefully check the consistency of the positioning when you experience such an issue.

In your case Michelle, I've been testing with a longer delay 1s to 3s, which helped me understand what is that clearer stage, a flash with a very short delay. Your gradient starts with no background in fact and what you see is the background of the page. I got this information by changing the background of the body of my test page from ivory to black.

When I tried your gradient on a black background I got a black stage/flash (easier to see at 3s). Perhaps it should be wise to test the order of your rules, and also try to understand why the gradient starts from the background of the body or parent and not from your background.

A workaround could be to set your button in a div with your button red background at the exact size and shape of your button.
