"Go" link pseudo-Class (: hover) CSS background picture has flashing bug

Source: http://www.css88.com/archives/744

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IE6 under the link pseudo-class (: hover) CSS background image has a flashing bug, the main reason IE will once again request this picture, or that the picture is not cached.

For example:

CSS Code

1. a:hover{background:URL (imagepath)}

Common solutions:

Add the following IE6 private code at the bottom of the page to let IE6 cache the CSS background image locally so that the a:hover will not be re-requested to load the background image at the time of IE6.

xml/html Code

1. <!–[if IE 6]>
2. <script type= "text/javascript">
3. Document.execcommand ("Backgroundimagecache", false, true);
4. </Script>
5. <! [endif]–>

Or

xml/html Code

2. <!–[if IE 6]>
3. <script type=text/javascript>
4. try {
5. Document.execcommand ("Backgroundimagecache", false, true);
6. } catch (Err) {}
7. </Script>
8. <! [endif]–>
