IE6 bug - disappearing text?

Please have a look at the following site *with IE6*. When hovering over
a link in the menu bar, all the text in the 'left' area of the site that
is below the 'right' area of the site just disappears.

When I remove the borders from the links, this does not occur. Also in
other browsers, this does not occur.

Does anyone know how I can work around this strange feature such that my
text does not disappear and I can still have the border around my links?

It appears it might be the 'Peekaboo bug'

You're right, it is! I managed to solve the bug using the Holly Hack, as
described on http://www.onestab.net/a/pie/explorer/peekaboo.html . I had
to add an extra 'wrapper' div, but at least this bug is not a problem
anymore.

Aha! It can catch even the most proficient of
web-developers. ..I am not amongst them yet,
(either proficient or had the peekaboo bug
problem) but sometimes I visit their sites. ;-)
..I managed to solve the bug (snip) ..this bug is not a problem anymore.


Glad you got it sorted.

I apologize for the length of the page below, but I've tried to whittle it down as much as I can. The problem is that Netscape 6.1 on my Win 2K Pro machine is disappearing the final row of the table. Opera 7.01 and IE 5 and 5.5 are both OK with the page, and the offending line is right before the commented out alert line, but I have been unable to figure why it's happening. Thanks,

Except for missing ALT tags on images, this site validates, yet I get some strange disappearing text in IE on a PC. Check out this page: http://www.alexmarshall.org/index.php?pageId=50 At the bottom of the middle box is the text "Categories: About my book", which shows up normally in FireFox, but which disappears in IE. Why so?

I built a form to access a query with a 2 field primary key. It should use 2 controls to find the unique record and display the other field values on the form.

When I input a value to these 2 controls the query finds the correct record, so I know my query with the criteria works. My problem is trying to get the output values...

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,...
