Looks like the hack in menu.css could have side efects...

Using a plain page, got this one when rendering in IE6:

Sometimes there are more. Thing is that IE6 make several requests:

Many requests to a non existing image is going to invoke the fourofour.action just for free. Now, imagine the multiple requests made by IE6...

This issue is an easy one.

In menu.css there is this definition

.ajs-menu-bar div.ajs-drop-down a {
    background: url(../../../images/icons/fake.gif) no-repeat .5em 50%;
    border: none;
    display: block;
    line-height: 2;
    padding: 0 1em 0 28px;
    margin: 0;
    text-decoration: none;
    position: relative;
    white-space: nowrap;
}

To fix this bug, either patch confluence by adding the missing image fake.gif in edit-webapp for example or modify the menu.css file and remove the background field.

Issa, you're correct about the cause – thanks for the information.

We need to do a fair bit of testing in different configurations and browsers before we'll be confident that removing this line is safe for all our customers. It was introduced as part of a compatibility plan for our menu styling to work properly in IE6 and 7.

Please let us know if you experience any problems with your workaround. We'll update this issue once the problem is tested and resolved.

Well, I do not have the fake.gif image, so I did try removing the background field from menu.css - there are no errors in the logs anymore, tested with IE6 and Weblogic 10.0 MP1.
