Web Developers,
I know this has nothing to do with PHP, but some bright minds out there might have run across it.
It's about Netscape 6 mouseovers.
I've read elsewhere that Netscape 6 has problems with preloading images. I have confirmed this
time and time again, but have not been able to come to any viable solutions. Nor have I been able to
find a posted solution or a documented workaround anywhere on the web. Has anyone here found a
workaround for this bug that will prevent Netscape from causing mouseover images (which were
preloaded) to stop disappearing from the screen when you roll over them too quickly. They
aren't just made invisible, they are actually gone.
I'm fine with the new DOM as it makes sense to start complying to the standards, it needs to be
done. However, mouseovers are one of the most basic features of JavaScript that every site on the
web uses so there really should be a way to successfully code mouseovers into a web page without
worrying about them disappearing. Talk about a web site navigation nightmare.
I have like mostly everything about Netscape 6 except this little "feature" and I'm
about to give up on the browser because of it. If anyone has found a way around this I would really
appreciate knowing how you dealt with it.
Thanks,
Toby
