A strange problem using jquery in IE6.

Question

I am using jquery load method to update divs , it works great until I test my code under IE6. The problem is : under IE6 , when I click a button to trigger a load method , the page is remaining unchanged until I move my cursor, that means if I click my mouse and keep my hand away from the mouse , the page is unchanged , if I move the mouse , the page is updated.

This problem is only occurred under IE6 . IE7 , IE8, Firefox all have no problem.

Have you guys ever encountered this kind of problem ?

This is a drawing issue in IE6 when rendering certain types of content, usually involving filters. You can sometimes trigger a redraw though by doing this, doesn't work in all cases though...welcome to IE:

$(window).resize();
