List of CSS features not supported by IE6

Hello, I just finished slicing and coding a very nice table-less css template for my website, all the time I was testing with IE7 and Chrome. Then I just had the brilliant idea of testing this template with IE6, I installed Windows XP on a Virtual PC and then I opened my website on IE6. It looks extremely bad! The format of my page lo...

IE6 bug. Div's height increases when a:hover is triggered

Hi, I have a page that there is a list of "tags", just like here in SO, and when the mouse is over it, it gets darker. It works great with Ie7, 8, FF, Chrome, Safari etc... but IE6 has a bug that when a:hover is triggered. The bug is that the div that those (ul li a) are contained, gets a height's increase. the css I have is: div.opt...

Why would this web page cause IE6 to lock up?

I'm stumped. From what we can tell there is nothing wrong with this page and it renders fine everywhere else (IE7/IE8, FireFox, Opera, Safari, etc). The problem is that if it's loaded in IE6 on Windows XP SP3 it just locks up the browser and it has to be force-closed through task manager in most cases. A few of our test computers load...

Why is ContentEditable removing “ID” from div

I am having problems with getting a HTML editor working. We are using “contentEditable” to implement it, however when any paragraph formatting option is done without contents selected, IE removes the ID from one of the divs in the page. The problem repeats for me with the HTML, just save it to a file, then open it in IE enable jsc...

This page contains both secure and nonsecure items and iframes

IE 6.0 is giving me the message "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items" because I have iframes on my page (for the combo box bug). I have tried pointing to a few different things in the src but I can't seem to get rid of this message without putting in a blank html page, which I would like to avoid so there isn't a server ca...

IE 6 and the multiple button elements all sending their name & values.

When using multiple button elements in a form, I realised that IE7 sends the innerHTML instead of the value of the button. All good I thought, I'll simply change my PHP code to this <?php if (isset($_POST['button-name'])) { add_product_to_cart(2); } ?> Now my old friend IE6 is going a little step further at being a nuisance. It s...

Seeing strange behavior on IE6 - I'm clueless

I use the following to implant a script into random websites: (added by webmasters just before /body ) <script type="text/javascript"> var xHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://" : "http://"); document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + xHost + "domain/script.js.php?u="+encodeURIComponent(window.location.host)+"' ...

Triggering haslayout in IE 6, what's the side effect of using * html div { height: 1%; }

For a while, I've been putting * html div { zoom: 1; } in my base stylesheet, and it has worked great. However, I now run into situations where there're elements that are absolute positioned that are losing their heights and widths in IE 6 cuz of this. So I'm thinking of putting * html div { height: 1%; } instead, but what are the side e...

CSS method to include IE6 hacks

CSS has @import, right? IE6 understands *html selector hack, right? Is it possible to combine them like //*html @import url(ie6hacks.css); or, possibly, //*html { @import url(ie6hacks.css); } ? Good browsers must skip this, will it still work in IE6? How does it look as a solution? I can clearly see it looks ugly as normal CSS....

ActiveX Control not running in IE6

I am trying to get some javascript to talk to an activex control. When this works and the JS can get the controls status I get a certain message. If not I get an error message. In IE7/8 you are prompted to accept the activex control (via the warning bar thing), but in IE6 the js just cant get the controls status. I have also tries cre...

IE6 png bug; links don't work?

After many hours I figured out why the links within my pngs in IE6 do not work. It's because Im using filter:progid:dximagetransform.microsoft.alphaimageloader within my CSS. Yet after many more hours I have not found a solution to fixing these links. Here is my code... HTML <div id="fullwidth-header-wrapper"> <div id="header"> <s...

Dropdown menu "blinking" in IE6

Hi, I am trying to create a dropdown menu based on Stu Nicholls' : http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/pro_drop8.html Mine needs to go over Select dropdowns and be IE6/7 compliant, so that's why I'm using all this iFrame nonsense. Changing z-index will not fix it because IE set an infinite zindex value to select dropdowns. So my problem is...

Images flickering in IE

Hi, I am facing an issue with IE6 : every time I mouse over an image the image will reload and flicker. This is due to the fact that IE has an option "check new version of stored pages all the time" which is basically "reload everything all the time". I found some fixes on google : Adding <meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="revea...

Is it good practice to "force" users to update their browser?

I helped develop a website for a local non-profit. I have asked for feedback from people who have been using the site. I have encountered a problem with IE6, fixing that problem introduces other problems in IE6 to the point of introducing another CSS file just for IE6 fixes. I stumbled across a way that would essentially "force" users...
