The IE6 Peekaboo bug - solution

I was doing the closing check on a clients web site before posting it live, and so I was testing to see that the site looks and works ok in all major browsers. This of course includes the dreaded monstrosity of a web browser IE6.

For some unclear reason some parts of the content did not show. It was just gone.

After some googling around I found that this is a pretty well known phenomena, and is named the Peekaboo bug.

Now if you google "Peekaboo bug" you'll find plenty of help. The first solution that I stumbled across that helped me was to add a line-height attribute to the element surrounding all the content that was disappearing.

To give propper credit, I found the solution here.
