Hi all, We've encountered a strange CSS bug where I work. It occurs in IE6 on WinXP and is incredibly similar to the peekaboo bug in its behavior, but does not involve any floats.
Here's a sample page: http://sandbox.royalrodent.com/peekabootoo/ You'll notice when you view this page in IE6, you see the "Now you see me!", but not the "Now you don't!" text above it unless you scoll it off and back on the page, or highlight it. Just like the peekaboo bug in behavior. After experimentation, we've discovered these removing the empty span element made the whole problem disappear and that's what we ran with. But we've now had this same behavior pop up in instances which we cannot trace back to any one particular element and is not attributable to floated items (like the original peekaboo). Has anyone seen anything like this before, knows the cause of it, and knows how to prevent it from happening? If so, we'd love to hear how. BTW, for what it's worth, after experimenting w/ the above page, we found we can also remedy the problem by giving a padding:0 to #content or .content, or changing the background color on #content to transparent.
