IE6 flicker bug - can't seem to fix it

Sent by Mark Senff on 17 October 2008 17:05


Hey all,

I'm in the process of creating a "standard base" 4-level Suckerfish menu that is 100% compatible
with FF, IE6/7/8, Opera and Safari (Win)..... (for the sake of argument, let's not go into details
why other browsers should be supported too..... this is what's on my plate for now) that I can use
as a reference for whenever I need such a menu.

Everything seems to work, EXCEPT this dreaded IE6 flicker bug and I can't seem to fix it for some
stupid reason. I've tried the following:

1. image as background of the anchor tag
2. image as background of the listitem
3. image as background of both ("double-buffered")

All three versions call the JS code that's mentioned on
http://www.mister-pixel.com/#Content__state=is_that_simple but to no avail..... The image keeps
flickering in IE6. I'm sure I'm overlooking something real easy, but I can't figure it out. I would
appreciate it if someone could take a look and let me know.

For this example I removed all deeper levels of the menu, so you can just focus on the images and
hover states.

JS file (also contains code for IE6 sfhover):

To see the error in action, you will need to change your IE6 settings: 
Tools - Internet Options - Temporary Internet Files Settings - Every visit to the page

Really, am I doing something wrong or did I totally forget something?

Thanks for your help in advance!
