Windows 2000, IE6, applet attaches to wrong frame.

I have an applet which communicates with the browser via javascript. I load the applet, and some javascript, in an iframe, and in Windows 2000 with IE6, I have determined that the messages the applet propagates hit the parent frame, rather than the iframe.

Hi, Take a look at this page: http://pearl.tinderfields.com/ In IE6 the menu's background image loads every time the user hovers over a menu item, which is obviously making a very rubbish looking menu. Is there any special reason as to why IE6 would re-load the image on every hover? ...

Why are cookies unrecognized when a link is clicked from an external source (i.e. Excel, Word, etc...)

I noticed that when a link is clicked externally from the web browser, such as from Excel or Word, that my session cookie is initially unrecognized, even if the link opens up in a new tab of the same browser window. The browser ends up recognizing its cookie eventually, but I am puzzled as to why that initial link from Excel or Word doe...

IE6 rendering bug. Some parsed <li> elements are losing their closing tags.

I have been working with IE6 for many years [sob], but have never seen this particular bug before, and I can't seem to find a reference to it on the Web.

Drop Down not even showing up in IE6

I've got a drop down menu here that just plain won't show up in IE6. The site works perfectly in every other browser. Seems daft to lose sleep over IE6, I know, but the site is for a demographic who could very well still be using it. Here's the CSS: html { height:100%; } body, p, a, ul, li, ol, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { margi...
