LI menu background image not appearing till rollover

I'm working with one of those vertical menus that use CSS and lists. The
menu is contained with a DIV (DIV.1) with a height of 100% that's within
an absolutely positioned DIV (DIV.2). DIV.1 has a background image at
"left bottom".

If I set a fixed height for the DIV.2 the image appears correctly but
if, as I need to do, calculate/set the height of the DIV.2 on window
load then the image doesn't appear till one of the menu items are rolled
over.

The image does, though, appear correctly in Firefox it's IE 6 that's the
problem. I've tried a variety of way to address the issue but none seems
to make any difference. Is there a way to get the image to appear correctly?

If you don't provide a link to your page, then as far as anyone knows
your problem is caused by a typo, invalid code, or any of a number of
other things. How much time do you think others are willing to spend
guessing?
