Hit Him Again Welcomes IE6
Throughout this site, you may notice that certain headings and titles are stylized and not simple html text. This is by virtue of a flash/javascript solution going by the name of sIFR that is integrated throughout. This was causing problems in IE6 due to 6’s quixotic implementation of padding and margins that does not interface well with <embed> objects. The root of the problem was that the whitespace surrounding title words such as “Archives” and “Comments” were 25 pixels wider in IE6, causing the right sidebar with the primary title of “Recent Posts” to be pushed to the very bottom of the page when the increased width resulted in rollover. To resolve this issue, I wrote up some quick javascript to detect IE6 browsers and lop off the extra 25 pixels from all of these flash elements. You can ‘view source’ and inspect the javascript solution for yourself, as it can be found at the end of the html code.
I have also noticed that IE6 will improperly unload these objects, causing a ‘flicker’ or ‘momentary hanging’ effect when moving from one page to another. This is an unavoidable drawback of using IE6, and, if you can, I recommend you upgrade to IE7 - or, better yet, start using Firefox.
