I fixed a rendering issue with my website in Internet Explorer 5-6. It seems I was a victim of the hasLayout bug which can cause many display problems, especially with floats and backgrounds. The hasLayout property is unique to IE 5-6 and carries a true or false value. Certain CSS properties trigger this value in your web page elements. In my case, two divs containing background images were displaying improperly and I needed to trigger the hasLayout property for these divs. Here is the fix I used:/* \*/ * html #problemDiv { height: 1%; } /* */I believe is the most solid fix for my problem and it is still valid CSS. There are several different ways to implement this fix which might be better in other circumstances. I found a great article explaining this problem and here is another site with several resources for other browser issues, bugs and compatibility problems.
