IE6 Disappearing Text Bug
Internet Exploder strikes again. But this time in a *bizarre* way.
Just stumbled across the weirdest bug in Internet Explorer 6. I was replacing a table-based layout with divs and the customer came back to me and said that they couldn't see any of the link titles anymore. In Firefox it was fine (what do you expect ;-) and in Internet Explorer 5.5 it was fine too. But when I opened up the site in Internet Explorer 6 some of the link titles were invisible. I could put my mouse pointer over them and click on them, so they were there, they just weren't visible. If I tried to select them with the mouse they would come visible but if I deselected them they would disappear again. Weird!? Finally after googling around I found this link which helped resolve my problem: http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/5106. Especially the recommendation to have a style="position: relative" on a higher level containing div. Don't you love google and the net ;-)
