strange things - HTML / CSS

Rod

Hi,

It happens something strange with IE 6 (not with N7, Mozilla...).
I want a div with a background picture.
Within it, I want a picture with a text floating.

With IE, the text is not always displayed, sometimes you need to....click
with the mouse on the text to see it!!!
Or sometime it appears, but if you go to open another window (from another
appication for example) and come back to the IE window, it has disappeared!!
Actually, the thing is, when you acces the page, you see that the text is
displayed FIRST, then the background picture which hide the text (it does
not make sense), and only with IE.

Here is the easy html code:
<div style="backgrou nd: url(xx.gif) repeat-y;">
<div>
<img style="float:le ft" border="0" src="xx2.gif" >
this is a text which disappear
</div>
<div style="clear:bo th"></div>
THIS IS ANOTHER TEXT
</div>
one thing: if you remove: THIS IS ANOTHER TEXT, it works!!!!

any idea?

Sounds like the IE peek-a-boo bug. See the explanation and work-around at

UserControl problem - strange markings

by: The Mess | last post by:

I recently made a UserControl consisting of buttons in a frame. The problem is that random strange markings appear sometimes under the buttons. They can be 'wiped off' with another window, and re-marked also with other windows (by dragging them over). Anyone know the problem and/or the cure? Otherwise things seem to work good. I have been playing around with the cls and refresh methods of UserControl, refresh for the Buttons & Frame, with...

strange (lineheight) gaps in list-styled horizontal menu

Hi all, I've got some strange behavior happening in Firefox and Safari (Khtml and Gecko) that displays *almost* fine in IE6.0 (still trying to get pixels to line up, anal anal anal...)

Strange css problem (bug?)

ASP.NET does strange things

by: Gary | last post by:

I have an application that has been working just fine for a couple of years. It queries a SQL database and returns some formatted data back to the client. I have a new client, who has a larger database than any of our previous customers. For example, the query to build the datatable now takes about 2 minutes instead of one minute or less. This is a third party database we are integrating with. He is getting very strange results. For...

strange resize problems using inherited VB.NET forms

by: Spam Trap | last post by:

I am getting strange resizing problems when using an inherited form. Controls are moving themselves seemingly randomly, but reproducibly. "frmBase" is my base class (a windows form), and contains a few controls anchored to the sides of the form. "frmChild" inherits from "frmBase"... and the controls appear on the inherited form as expected. However things start going wrong when I place addition controls on the "frmChild" form. When I...

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

by: Oralloy | last post by:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
