while microsoft's alphaloader might not exactly be css, it's currently the best (only) way to get alpha transparent pngs to work in ie6. one of the many downfalls to using this propriety method, however, has been that links cease to work when an alphaloaded background is behind them. heck you can't even select any text.
working on my site, i stumbled across something that made links start to work again. i didn't question it at first because i wasn't having any problems, but later i added more links, and these new links didn't work. this meant i had to track down the "fix" i must have found. the fix: i actually have no idea why what i did works. however you can see my fixed version alongside a non-fixed version at http://sltclan.com/images/cj/fix-ie-loader/default.html method #1 - not so great, but better than nothing: using "text-align: right;" on the link will work *most* of the time, but there is a slight delay when you mouse over the links. you can see this live on the right column of the non-fixed area. sometimes it stops working though, and i have no idea why. that's ms for ya! method #2 - requires a bit of markup, but much better: setting a parent to "text-align: right;" fixes it much better when i put "position: relative;height: 0;" on the actual link. i don't know how i came up with this, but i have seen absolutely no problems with my links when i put this into effect. you can even get all text to line back up on the left hand side after having set the parent to align right, which i show on the left column. any comments or better suggestions are welcome, since i haven't seen any fixes for links before i figured this all out. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
