Peekaboo!

Tuesday, April 11, 2006

Ladies and gentlemen, the peekaboo bug*.

Quite a compelling reason as to why Internet Explorer is teh_stupiderer.

What is it? Position something absolutely, float something inside it and poof, seemingly random chunks of your content are belong to the void until you click, select or otherwise massage the seemingly blank area, or one nearby.

The fix? Give the absolutely positioned thing a line height value. Any line height value. line-height: 1; if you want.

Doesn’t it just make you want to stab yourself in the eye with a fork?

* = No, it’s not new. I just needed to vent some steam, okay?
