That may be due to the fact that IE has sooo many problems. On this occasion several background images were disappearing in IE6. I tried the common solutions first: relative positioning, removing floats, setting widths, etc. and nothing worked. It took me quite a while to uncover the culprit.

href="javascript: void(0);"

 

//I was using it in a common manner:
<a onclick="switchTabs(‘comments’)" href="javascript: void(0);">Comments</a>

Once I removed the href=”javascript: void(0);” from the link everything worked fine. I had searched the Internet for days trying to find the solution to this bug and never found a thing. This is probably because not too many people use href=”javascript: void(0);”… and now I know why.
