Why is IE 6 sometimes hiding background image?

Why is the banner background image not always displayed on my web site
(www.officeactivate.com) in the banner div in IE 6 but does fine in FireFox?
You may have to move the mouse around on the banner, text, navigation
buttons to see this behavour.

thanks,

Els

Try clicking some other main pages in the top nav menu and scroll down and
up again and move the mouse all over the place... :) I still see it..

I just did that, no change.
The only think I manage to notice, is that on refresh, the colour to
the right of the header image comes back a bit slow.
How about emptying your cache? Maybe it's just too full to add one
more image? (you never know with IE ;-) )

I think I know this problem. Try setting the affected element to
position:relative; (if it's static).
I can't explain why it helps, if it helps at all.

I haven't looked, but sounds like the peekaboo bug, Google for the hack
to solve it.

You were right Spartanicus.
I added this to my css stylesheet for the div and it seems to work great.

#header {
background-color:#d6dfe6;
background-image: url(images/banner-background.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
display: block;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
/* Hides from IE-mac \*/
height: 1%; /* peekaboo hack / Holly hack */
/* End hide from IE-mac */
}
