Weird IE6 issue

paulsheff · 2 Oct 2007 at 04:00

Hi guys

I've got an expanding/collapsing Javascript/CSS menu that works fine on IE7 and FF2, but on IE6 it expands to the right size, but the links are transparent. If I rollover them, or scroll down and then back up, they appear?

The script switches between display:none and display:block

Anyone know of a solution?

Cheers

You probably don't want to hear it, but try not using a javascript menu for your menu. Use CSS and make a site that is accessible to all.

Use Firefox. Download the 'web developer toolbar'. Turn off CSS.
Use Firefox. Download 'NoScript'. Don't allow JavaScript and see if your site still functions.

You can also disable Javascript with the Web Developer toolbar if you don't want to use the NoScript extension

Unfortunately the client wants an outlook style +/- system so I have to use Javascript. No JavaScript just lists the links static.

It's a weird problem as I've got the same script on two other sites and both show fine in IE6.

It's probably a background issue, I'll keep digging.

Try setting a width for the element the background appears on. I'd imagine it's the 'a'.
