IE6 - change body on hover / z-index change

I am debugging a site to make it work for IE6 (god please let this be the last time). I got pretty far getting the layout right. Here is just one more thing that worries me.

  • Some elements, such as links, when they hover, the body of the site shrinks.
  • I have built a dropdown list with javascript. When shown, the body of the site is compressed.
  • There is a slideshow made with javascript that changes the z-index of the images, every time it changes the z-index the body is compressed.

Now I have found some information that IE6 creates this particular shrinking behavior when using a fixed position element. But this is not the case. Anyone have some ideas for solving this? Thanks!

I use these situations as an argument to convince users to finally move away from this monstrousness of the browser.

I hate to ask the question ... but are you using ?:

<!--[if IE 6]>
Enter "special" styles for IE 6
<![endif]-->


This will save you the traffic jam.

When it comes to dropping support for IE6 for sites, I found that customer complaints about it didn't work very often. But what shows the work in Google Analytics, which is used by only 5% of site visitors, and it's ok if it doesn't match exactly as long as the content is available. This 5% niche costs a lot of extra development time and money to meet the needs. But your screwed up if he says 11% :-)
