    Major IE6 issue + CSS

    Instead of setting list-style-type images I'm instead using this following CSS which I came up with:

    Code:
    div#rightcolumn .affiliate-links li a {
    	margin-left:0px;
    	background: url('images/famfamfam-mini/icon_favourites.gif') no-repeat;
    	background-position: 0% 50%;
    	padding-left:20px;
    }
    Now this code in IE6 repeatedly loads the icon, and the worst is that I use this CSS throughout loads of the list types as I have different icons for each one. I've used it without the "a" on the end and the same issue occurs. It actually causes my server to crash because it's continually loading the icons over and over again.

    Any ideas on how to fix it?

    Okay I've just done some tests and now I'm even more confused:

    http://www.reformsoft.org/test/

    Check that page and you'll see it works fine in IE6

    http://www.reformsoft.org/index1.php

    That's a WIP I'm currently working on, in IE6 you'll see it infinitely reloads the icons thus overloading the server which then blocks your IP. I've copied the exact CSS used and put it in that test folder and I can't reproduce the issue so now I'm totally baffled. I am using JavaScript though but I wouldn't have that would've caused an issue. *tests*

    Nevermind, it was the JavaScript doing it, doh! Cheers anyway. I'll have to ditch the JavaScript.

    Just out of curiosity, why not just use the list-style-type image options?

    Seems like you're re-inventing the wheel to some extent?

    Because you can't align the list-style-type thus if the list image is too large then you end up having problems and my list images are one pixel too large which puts them out of place by a longshot. This also means that the list position is the same throughout all browsers.
