IE6 Bug Demo: Dropdown Menu Failure

This example shows how submenu's in a "Suckerfish" or similar list-based menu can fail to work properly unless the background color is applied to the "a" element.

Hover over "Color on li" and then try to move the mouse to the bottom of the dropdown. The dropdown will disappear in IE6.

Now try same thing on "Color on a". It should work fine in all browsers.

Unsure of root cause, but seems similar to other IE bugs when events like hover cause layout to be recalculated.
