I was searching the web the other day for a way to keep the selection highlighted inside of a document in design mode in Internet Explorer when the focus is somewhere else. I was hoping to find some MSHTML command id to feed into the execCommand method and enable this behaviour. I found IDM_KEEPSELECTION and tried it but without any visible results.
But I found other command id that caught my attention: IDM_BACKGROUNDIMAGECACHE.
"Wow, what was that?"
I said to myself in wonder, more like Hammy facing Steve.
"Can't be true!"
But it turned out to be really true. Check my site for a fix of the infamous IE6 background image flicker bug:

Thankyou!!! This will be very useful!
Jesus Christ you deserve a Nobel Prize for this... and the IE team needs to be kicked in the head for not saying something years ago, if this was there the whole time.
Well done!! It appears that your solution does not prevent the interruption of browser activity indicators as described in my post at http://tom-lee.blogspot.com/2006/09/ie-css-rollovers-revisited.html. So, if that's important to you, I'd still suggest my method. But yours is a very nice solution, and the improvement to rendering performance may be worth making it a standard include anyway.
You Are Simply A Genious, Mr.
Thanks.
So many days of searching the web for solution, and finally I found it! Thanks a lot! ((:
Could this be the most useful page on the entire super information highway?! It may just be!
Unbelievable, a thousand thanks from frusrated designers everywhere! This was fast becoming one of IE's most long-running bugs without a reliable workaround - nice job.
I f*cken love you so much right now! Awesome, simply awesome fix.
Thank you for sharing this!
I would *love* to see this code, but your whole site is down.
