CSS image sparadic display 1

[1DMF]

Hi,

I can't understand why the bottom image on my left hand column , sometimes displays and sometimes doesn't.

it's not an error on the page as i've validated both X/HTML & CSS, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason when it decides to not displat the bottom graphic.

A refresh of the browser always displays the image.

It seems to do it in IE only from what I can tell.

Any ideas?

thanks, 1DMF.

Do you mean the graphic with the bottom left and right curves on? If so, it displays fine for me in IE 6 and IE 7 over many refreshes.

Or, do you mean another image which I can't see because it isn't loading?

I don't know which image you are referring to.

the bottom line on the cureved edge on the left hand box.

don't refresh, click the links in that box and you will see on occasion it doesn't show.

refresh and it does, driving me mad, happens on my work PC , home PC, missus laptop, so must happen to you guys :-(

It's the ol disappearing div background IE bug.

It's not showing because you are putting a background image in a div that is floated left (not directly, but through parent nodes)


give that div class="bb" a

position: relative

That should fix it.

didn't work :-(

funny how the right hand box is made up of the same class and it doesn't do it to that one?

I can visit every link in the left-hand box in both IE 6 and IE 7 and it always shows... which I'd expect as a page reload should be no different to a refresh.

What version of IE are you seeing this in, and roughly how often? Have you tried clearing your cache?

Hmm, this is one of those pain in the @$$ IE bugs.

I came across this page that has a new solution to this problem, maybe it will work, it's at least worth a shot.

nope, I've given the .bb and .bb div a line-height and position:relative, it's still happening!

damn you IE!!!!!!

woohoo - I fixed it!

it was the old empty div syndrome, which I thought normally affected the compliant browsers rather than IE, but there you go, always an exception to the rule, that's me!

all I did was add a hard coded space in the empty div and it hasn't happened again.

<div class="bb">
    <div>[b]&nbsp;[/b]</div>
</div>

Thanks Vragabond, see I can apply knowledge you teach me from other threads else where, even if a bit slow on the uptake!

Oh damn, I was going to say that (try adding &nbsp), but I can't prove it.

Good job 1DMF.
