Attention CSS experts: If you can figure out why this site’s background disappears when you scroll down in Safari 1.0, I’ll buy you a beer! Hell, two beers! We’re not talking Pabst either — the import or domestic of your choice!

(This is the same problem James wrote about a couple weeks ago. It wasn’t an issue with any of the Safari betas — just in 1.0.)

To make up for this post’s high geek quotient, I offer you these links:

- What happens when you combine a bad man with a camera and two extremely gullible teenaged girls. (For the record, this isn’t the most family-friendly link.)

- The emasculation of Doug Christie continues. (Doug’s the Sacramento King whose wife doesn’t allow him to even speak to other women.)

Josh, it's a bug in 1.0 because your positioning is absolute and not relative. Read about it here:

i'd like to point out the unfairness of this challenge. i had a similar problem and the solution was what tom suggested, but since i'm a PC owner, i had no way of verifying the correctness of my guess.

(...i think i need a beer...)

Tom beat me to it!

I haven't downloaded the "real" safari yet - and I'm not sure I want to yet. Way too happy cruising with Camino (mozilla.org) to be bothered, I guess. I must care a little more than I thought, though - I've been reading about the bugs and issues religiously since the first beta came out.

The Safari bug has been fixed:

But I don't know when it will make it into a Safari update, maybe not until Panther.
