Hi, You talked about drop-down menu, so I'm assuming there's some sort of hover rule involved...?
Smells like an issue with the IE6 hover cascade rules detailed here, I had a similar issue which manifested itself in the same way. http://www.quirksmode.org/css/ie6_purecsspopups.html http://www.tanfa.co.uk/css/articles/pure-css-popups-bug.asp You may have a background-color:white in a "parent" rule or the "non-hover" rule, so the rule in your menu won't override it, so IE6 will still have a problem. Without seeing any code, that's the only thing I can think of... cheers, Ken [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 10/07/2007 12:13:20 PM: > Hi: > > I've been working on another css drop-down menu and encountered a > problem where my menu won't work in IE 6 if I use "white" for > background-color, but will work if I use "#FFFFFF". > > For example: > > background-color: white; /* if used, my menu won't work in IE 6 */ > background-color: #FFFFFF; /* if used, my menu will work in IE 6 */ > > This isn't a real problem because I simply use #FFFFFF to make it > work.
