Not related to CSS, but solved my problem with CSS rollover flickering and other caching issues in IE. Check if your web server is not sending any Vary headers in responses to IE (You can use Proxomitron at http://www.proxomitron.info/ to see HTTP headers). If it does, there is a need to change the configuration so that it does not send it to those who use IE (there is "MSIE" and no "Opera" in the user-agent header of the request. IE4 to 6 never fixed the Vary header bug, which makes all sites using Russian Apache (Vary: accept-charset, user-agent) not cacheable in IE. For Apache (1.3.6 and later), I use these lines to disable Vary headers for some broken browsers: BrowserMatch "MSIE" brokenvary=1 BrowserMatch "Mozilla/4.[0-9]{2}" brokenvary=1 BrowserMatch "Opera" !brokenvary SetEnvIf brokenvary 1 force-no-vary Put these into httpd.conf or .htaccess file. This will disable Vary headers for all versions of IE. Opera will still receive a Vary header (in any browser identification). -- Homeric ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL-REMOVED]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
