Add this script to the overall_header.tpl - - - or create a .js file from it and add a (Path) link in either the overall_header.tpl before the </head>, or add the link to the overall_include.tpl of your theme.

Spoiler: [ Show ]


In your theme .css find ALL occurrences of: little_box.png and change to little_box.gif

In your theme images/colour etc: find little_box.png and rename it to little_box.gif

If this patch solves your scrolling problem, then you should really convert the .png's to gif to avoid any other problems with graphic handlers. If you can't convert it, then download the attached gif and use that.

Lopalong,

What exactly does this do?

Pre-Loads the background .png images, because MS hasn't quite worked out how to handle them in the background yet.

I always forget to think about IE users. Thanks for posting this!

Shouldn't be better to convert those images as GIF instead of just renaming them?

Of course you are correct, and the first post has been updated. But what I will do sometime today is create a little_box.gif (Though I think it already exists in some styles) and attach it to the post for those who can't convert it.

Just for information purpose, I have converted all the little_box.png in my templates as GIF... of course they look worst... but I hope to avoid problems with IE.

I hate IE... I couldn't understand why they don't make it fully CSS and PNG compliant.
