[QUOTE="Michael Morris, post: 4345965, member: 87"] IE 6 does that to images when it fails to load them completely. The bug is in that browser, not the site. I strongly recommend against the use of any version of IE, but especially IE 6 The browser is not standards complaint and will not be able to read pages designed to make use of CSS 2.1. IE 6 also remains critically vulnerable to multiple exploits which can place all manner of viruses on your system. Microsoft should have declared end of life (EOL) on it when IE 7 was deployed but has failed to do so. Since they have EOL'ed Windows XP which is the OS IE 6 is designed for I consider it to be EOL, and will cease support for it soon, though a time table has yet to be announced. Safari 3 and Firefox 3 are each available for all systems IE 6 runs on and are excellent free replacements. Comparing their quality to IE is like comparing the quality of a new Lexus to a rusted down 1992 Ford Escort. [/QUOTE]
