Re: Another odd IE flickering CSS problem!

Hi again folks

We have a CSS based site where something very odd is happening to a
couple of items on the homepage.

In IE6, take a look at <http://www.littlejohnfraser.com

The panel under the left nav contains a text link, with an image
below.

Most of the time IE6 does not display the text (other browsers seem
fine!) and sometimes on a refresh in IE6 the links do re-appear.

It also appears once you have clicked it and hold the mouse button
down.

It also disappears again if you click it then hit the back button.

Weird eh? Anyone got any ideas on this one?

TIA

In ie 'How to find us' disappears as soon as i

mouse over any of the menu selections.
And in firefox when i mouse over 'Home',
it doesn't chop the top right corner.

Interesting observation - yep, sure is part of the problem - we just
can't figure it out, there's no dodgy JS, just some CSS hover stuff
that's all pretty straightforward....

I haven't looked, but it sounds like the "peekaboo" bug to me.

Try the Holly Hack:

dunno if it will work

Now I have looked, and I agree with my original diagnosis. the "peekaboo"
bug.

Using floats with MSIE is iffy at best. The Holly Hack works, but may
take some tinkering to get right.
