Description

Suckerfish menu dropdown items flicker in IE6 (rapidly switch between being displayed and background showing), apparently due to a javascript conflict. This happens whether or not jquery (w/ or w/o superfish) is activated. This type of menu works fine in IE6 normally (such as at the Superfish demo site), so there seems to be a conflict with something in Tiki. A Google search turned up similar problems in Joomla and Drupal, and was caused there by some conflict with some the javascript used by some module or other. I tested CSS variations, to rule out the possibility of CSS being the cause - no change made a difference.

Assuming Tiki will move from php layers menus to suckerfish menus, and there will still be a significant number of IE6 users, this should be solved as soon as possible.

Solution
Maybe go through the js files normally loaded and comment them out one by one to see which might be involved, and see if there is a way to prevent the conflict. But I'm no javascript expert so can't really say.
