IE6 IE7 CSS Problem with overflow: hidden; - position: relative; Combo

This issue arises when attempting to hide inactive slides in a slider by utilizing the CSS property overflow: hidden. However, in IE 6 and 7, this approach fails, leaving non-active slides visible. The root cause lies in the combination of overflow: hidden and position: relative on the containing ul element.

A known workaround for this issue is to add position: relative to the container element. In the given HTML structure, the body tag serves as the container. To resolve the problem, add a div directly below the body and assign it position: relative.

In the provided CSS, add the following line:

#container {
  position: relative;
}

This modification will resolve the issue and enable the use of overflow: hidden to hide inactive slides in IE 6 and 7, ensuring proper slider functionality.
