This post comes has two parts. I am designing a site but only have access to a Mac, equipped with Virtual PC. On IE6 is
appears that, on some pages of this site, the navigation does not appear. I have put up a test case:
IE Magical Appearing Navigation.
Please observe: on loading the page, the navigation and the words "some text" should appear in the left column. They do not. Now hover over the link in the right-hand colum that reads "ipsum dolor." The left-hand column magically appears! Now head to
test-case 2, where the navigation appears the first time I load the page in a new browser window, and then whenever it feels like it on subsequent reloads. Sometimes I have to mouse over that link. It would have taken me hours to strip down the styles in test case 2, so I left them all. Still, all the styles I stripped out of test-case 1 should NOT make any difference.
My two questions are: 1) is this some quirk of my Virtual PC, or does this happen on your actual PCs as well, and 2) do you know how to fix it? My IE6 bug-fixes are really rusty.
Thanks for your help!
