IE 6 has problems with background images

[Merlin]

Hi there,

I am working on a complex site which is using background images as navi
buttons. This workes excellent and fast in most browsers except in
Internet Explorer.

The images all load and the page looks fine. The problem is the loading.

The pages loads ok first, but after the browser has completed to display
the page, all background images disapear for about 1 second
and show up again, like they have been loaded again.

Unfortunatelly I cant provide a URL since there is no database
installation on the real server so far.
However, this is the code I am using:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td style="background-image: url('test.gif');" width="110"
height="19" class="content_button">link text</td>
<td style="background-image: url('test.gif');" width="110"
height="19" class="content_button">link text</td>
</tr>
</table>

Maybe someone has an idea or did experience the same problems before?

Thanx for any help on that

I don't know if this is a related problem.

I have some jpegs on a server that will not load when I use MS IE 6.
I have notice other web sites that are having the same problem. When
I wrote to the web mastersa, they did not see the problem. Nro did
they see the problem loading my jpegs.

It seems to be a problem with my MS IE.

It started when I began having problems with java script also. I hav
eposted several comments about that, but basically I don't think java
scripts are loading completely. I hav enoticed some asp also has the
same problem.

As I said, I don't know if this is related or not.

You might want to refresh your scripting engine:

or

Sometimes there's a corrupt file in the cache and one must go to Tools |

I did. It did not help.

I installed Netscape Navigator. It works fine.

MSIE is for the birds.

Too many problems. Too much hassle.
