horizontal bars

[scorpion]

this thing is driving me nuts, in ie 6 only, apparently all my horizontal rule GIF's never show up immediately, just a white indented space, you have to click on 'show picture' with your mouse then they all appear at once. Is this a page caching problem? Never seems to be a prob with netscape...

I've seen that happen alot with graphics that are very small in size (under 500 bytes). I have to hit refresh twice or more to finally get it to load. No other browser seems to have that problem. I really worry that visitors will get a bad first impression. Hope someone has a good work around for this (other than bloating the file size!)

IE6 has some problems displaying some images sometimes! (It's a known issue).

Some IE6 users have the problem, some don't.

Helpful huh?

to me, only ie6sp1 have this problem

it would be an unfortunate solution, but we could hack out a snippet of javascript to add to the body onLoad to make it refresh all images for IE6 only (ick)

Why not just make the hr image into a table code, and set a thin border on it (setting the hr image as the background of the td.) If the image shows up, great, but if it doesn't you will still have the same dimensions and the border will make it stand out as an HR. Or you could just use the html for an hr code and customize it with CSS to get a nice effect.. I don't find very thick hr's to be attractive at all.
