   Hey guys,

   There seem to be a very weird bug in Internet Explorer 6 when I launch my website;

   http://pouel.ca/

   The 2 first posts don't show up, but when you scroll down and come back up, we can see them!

   Or to make them appear, we can select them or move a "window" in front of the text. So to keep it simple: WTF?

   Thank you for your time.

   Justin

   I don't know if this is the cause, but you have a bad, non-UTF-8 character somewhere on your page (on line 1106 according to the validator). I think that it may be an accented e.

   Hey, thanks for answering.

   Well, this is a french "blog" so a lot of letters have accents (éèêàâ etc.).

   This is, without a doubt, the weirdest bug I've seen on a webpage.

   Advices/suggestions/solutions(!) appreciated.

   Thanks iridiax.

   I'm doing a "bump"... just in case someone else, who didn't see my question, would happen to have a solution.

   Thanks.

   I resolved the problem.

   After Googling for about an hour, I found that it's a fairly uncommun bug in IE 6.0.

   To solve the problem, I went in my theme's stylesheet and added "position:relative;" to the #ID of the text in the posts (in my case: "#content1 p").

   The result:

   #content1 p {
   	padding-left: 10px;
   	position:relative; /* This line */
   }

   More information and other workarounds if that didn't worked:

   Hi Justin,

   Thanks for this solution!

   I had been experiencing this problem in ie7 and was flabbergasted and flummoxed when I saw the text disappear and reappear before my eyes. I thought it was just my browser but I tested the site on browsershots.org and saw the same problem on their test results.

   Now all is fixed and everybody is happy!

   Thanks again.
