MSIE 6.0 bug using a href and PNGs with transparency
So, I start with this; please don’t use MSIE 6.0, it is a disaster for web developers! Now, this is what I ran in to last night, a bug in MSIE 6.0. Every item with a transparent PNG as background image, done with the CSS hack/workaround (AlphaImageLoader filter) and the sizingMethod set to scale, all the child objects are locked. Nothing works anymore! No more forms, no more hrefs, no text select, no nothing… I spend 5 hours last night searching the web to solve this problem! (Send the bill to Bill?)
The solution is, or rather the bug is: When the width OR height of the dimensions of the transparent 24bits PNG image is less than 64 pixels, and the sizingMethod set to scale, the bug appears.
If that is not a bug… Please remove all your copies of MSIE 6.x and use a more developer friendly browser like Firefox. Or if you feel the need, upgrade to msie 7.0. IE 6 is a developer nightmare!
