I am using the xDemoWebSplashScreenPopup to display a splash screen to indicate that a search is running. I am testing in Firefox, IE 11 and Google Chrome with the following results.

Firefox - Works as expected, opens before the search and closes when it completes.

IE 11 - No splash screen appears.

Google Chrome - Splash screen opens and closes before the search runs.

In IE 11 and Chrome I have tested with pop up blocking off and on and the results are the same.

Is there a reason for this variation in browsers for a simple splash screen ?

Without your code, it's hard to say exactly.

However, if you're using FadeIn and FadeOut to show/hide the popup, my GUESS is that you're seeing the differences between browser implementations of animations and the speed at which a browser responds to http requests to get data.

VL uses CSS animations. In effect, we hand over control to the browser and it does as it sees fit.

I've tried the xDemoWebSplashScreen sample in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and IE 11 and the results are much the same, although notably not identical.

Incidentally, VL popups are simply DIVs that the runtime manages, so popup blocking will have no effect.
