text reflow on :hover in Win IE 5.x , 6

works fine on other browsers

[PixelPaul]

I'm working on a page with some dynamic menus. The page seems to be working on all the browsers I tested except on Win IE 5, 5.5 and 6. When "hovering" over the menu items, the menu list expands but it causes the text in the content box to slighly reflow. I can't figure out why it is happening and how to fix it. Works fine on all other browsers I tested. Anyone have an idea?

the page can be seen here:
<Sorry, no personal URLs. See TOS [webmasterworld.com]>

thanks in advance-
Paul

What does reflow mean? I don't see any change to the content text when hovering over the menu items with IE6.

btw, you're not supposed to post a URL to your page, it's against the rules. Just describe the problem, and if appropriate post the relevant bit of code.

If its fine in other browsers then chances are it is due to the dodgy IE Box Model. What doctype are you using on your page?

If that doesn't solve it then post an a small code excerpt that illustrates the problem.
