I don't have time to investigate this right now, but I don't think it's
the peekaboo bug. I can't get the labels to show up no matter what I do
-- resize, highlight, minimize and maximize, refresh, cover with another
window then reveal, etc. Plus, the peekaboo bug is related to floats,
and there are no floats here.
However, you may still want to try the Holly Hack, as well as the
position: relative trick. Both work well for squashing IE bugs.
BTW, it only occurs in IE6, not 5.5 or 5.0.
Good luck!
