Entire page is blanked every time a top-level menu item is selected.

Issue #6 resolved
Philip Burns created an issue

The entire display is blanked whenever a top-level menu item is selected. This is disconcerting.

This behavior is an artifact of the web components technology being used in SHC. The idea behind clearing the page is to prevent folks from seeing the animation of the web component generated HTML being laid out. While this may be warranted for the truly dynamic pages such as the work viewer, it is unnecessary for the static pages.

Removing the unresolved="true" attribute from the html body tag corrects the problem. We want to leave this attribute only for the pages that actually use web components and remove it from the others.
