[css-d] IE7 background-image reload

2011-01-26 Thread Mary Ellen Curtin
In IE7.0 (at least), the background-image here: http://datagnostics.com/test/Tindex.html reloads every time I refresh the page, producing a very-irritating flicker. Things that I have tried that don't fix it: 1. Giving layout to the div in question (via zoom:1;) and to its parent, BODY. 2.

I like to use an image for HR elements, especially on very graphic-intensive sites. The trouble is that pesky border IE keeps putting around them. As of several years ago, hackery seemed to be the only way to make IE's hr images border-free: 1. Wrapping HR in a div: http://www.sovavsiti.cz/css
