    I'm not even sure what exactly I should be pointing out with this nagging issue I've noticed while using IE6. I've used the following CSS for the search submit button:

    #searchsubmit {
    font-size: 1em;
    background: #333;
    border: 1px solid #eee;
    color: #eee;
    padding: 1px;
    }
    

    When the search box has focus, the 'Find It' button looks as though it shrinks 1px on all sides. Try it using IE6 at 5ThirtyOne and click on the 'Wasabi' link at the top. The modal window displays recents and the search bar at the bottom.

    Hi,

    I've seen this many times before :) It's just a quirk with the way IE handles buttons which gain focus. IE gives focussed buttons an extra border, which pushes your styles 1 pixel in. I don't know of any workarounds, however.

    Hope this helps

    I figured it was an IE specific quirk / bug. I guess we all have to live with these sorts of things. I'll have to try and ignore the ringing thoughts in the back of my mind reminding me that the page does not act exactly as it should in IE.
