<snip> A workaround could be to take the bg-image from the link and move it to the containing h1 block ... </snip>
Yes. This is the fix. IE has issues only when a background image is used on a link. If IE's 'internet options' are set to 'Check for newer versions of stored pages: Automatically' it can be as innocent as a little cursor flicker. When set to 'Every visit to the page' you get the sort of reloading you're seeing. I use code like: #logo { height: 50px; width: 200px; top: 10px; left: 10px; background: url(/image/logo.png) 0 0 no-repeat; position: absolute; } #logo a { height: 100%; width: 100%; text-indent: -5000px; text-decoration: none; display: block; } The link automatically fills its container, and the text-decoration fixes an IE5 Mac problem (it indents the text, but not the link underline!). IE's flicker can also be fixed server-side: http://www.aspnetresources.com/blog/cache_control_extensions.aspx but I have no first-hand experience of how effective this is. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
