If you take a look at my homepage <[url]www.freewebs.com/pyroclasm924[/url]> in IE, when you move your mouse over the links at the bottom, the border disappears. If you reload the page, they come back. What’s going on?
@DaiWelshFeb 28.2005 — #It is an odd IE display bug. Don't remember seeing this exact one before, but you can fix it in several ways, in order of convenience:-
[list=1]
[*]it should respond to the holly hack if you set height: 1% on #content style (neat but maybe you don't like hacks)
[*]you could take the padding off the #content style and have a second div nested just inside it with a margin of 6px instead (fairly neat if you cna live with one extra div
[*]you could take the padding off the #content style and put margin of 6px on all the elements inside it instead (very messy)

@pyroclasmauthorMar 05.2005 — #Well, I tried copying and pasting the code into a new html file (on my computer) to try some of your solutions DaiWelsh, and I couldn't duplicate the problem. Even if I opened the same code in IE (same HTML and CSS), the problem wouldn't occur. What's going on?
@DaiWelshMar 05.2005 — #Did you literally cut and paste or did you use ie save facility? Latter would rewrite all your code. Assuming you did the former, did you miss anything subtle like the document type?
@pyroclasmauthorMar 05.2005 — #Yes, I cut and paste; I'm using XHTML for both. Also, another strange thing is that in IE if I scroll back up and then back down, it corrupts the borders as well.
@DaiWelshMar 05.2005 — #Yes that is a different symptom of the same bug, once you trigger it it behaves in all kinds of strange and largely unpredictable ways. If it does that consistently then use that as the gauge of whether you have fixed the problem.
