This is an old thread, but it came up first in my search, and I suspect others are still struggling with this. My solution for IE6 (still haven't tested in 7 or 8) was to give the empty trigger div a css background image, like so: background: transparent url(images/dot.gif) no-repeat; The image is a transparent gif. Thought I was done with those a long time ago. It also worked for me if I used a non-existent image, and I suspect it might work if the image was simply positioned outside of the div. Hope this helps.
