While reading my own post in IE6, I saw the bug fooling around my page (hover the mouse over the link marked as external to see it in action).
To make the flicker dissapear (mouse over the A tag having background image) use this bookmarklet (copy/paste the code in your address bar in IE):
javascript:void(document.execCommand("BackgroundImageCache",false,true))See http://www.mister-pixel.com/ for details.
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:
