No More Flicker: IE6 CSS Image Flicker Fix
Big news in August slipped below my radar. What’s the fuss? There’s now a fix for a small but frustrating problem that has plagued CSS designers ever since the release if Internet Explorer 6.
When a mouse rolls over a link that the designer has styled with a background Image, IE6 shows a flicker as it changes states. Though there were cumbersome fixes, nothing was available that worked simply and elegantly.
Enter Dan Popa’s IE6 Image Flicker solution. A simple Javascript snippet placed in your HTML document’s head element fixes the caching problem completely!
Here’s the code:
javascript:void(document.
execCommand("BackgroundImageCache",false,true))
Thanks Dan!
