All right, I have no idea what's happening or why, but please visit my no-ip account (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://projep.no-ip.com:81/">http://projep.no-ip.com:81/</a><!-- m -->) and mouse over the sidebar navigation in IE 5.0 Win. There are no problems in IE 6.0 and 5.5, but the browser crashes in 5.0 when mousing over this sidebar, and does not display properly, every time. Does anyone know why? I'm at a loss.
Thanks in advance.I'll be leaving my computer on for the rest of the day (or I plan to, anyways), so if you'll be able to access the page.what happens if you add dimensions to #links li a (other than it screwing the box model)Remove a.jump {display: none;} It will stop 'jumping'

However, this isn't the best fix possible... is there any way I can hide the jump link and not screw with IE5?
Much thanks. By the way, for anyone with the same problem reading this - it's a combination of the two fixes that resolves the issue.You can remove float:right from #header to prevent the 'jumping'.
In fact changing several properties does the same. Your css and html is confusing IE5.
Possible problems:
using the value 'header' for id, class and name (still to be added)
using tag names for id and/or class - body and img
there are 5 rule for #header when 2 would be enough

<div id="header" title="Personified">
<h1><a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"http://projep.no-ip.com:81/"><span>Personified</span></a></h1>
</div>
h1 is all you need
<h1 id="header" title="Personified"><a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"http://projep.no-ip.com:81/">Personified</a></h1>
Clearing up these issues may not solve the problem, but it would make for cleaner code.Actually, the reason it's like that is the previous style, which I plan to add as an alternate stylesheet. The img class is just so I can style the image and group it with it's caption (only one instance so far, but I plan for more).IE5.0 is weird like that. Congratulations anyway.Uhm, okay... but what am I going to do about the jump links, if I can't hide them with display: none? Is there a hack that specifically targets IE5?
EDIT : A little sloppy, but it gets the job done well enough.

EDIT : Good stuff. I don't know why I didn't think of positioning it in the middle of nowhere, but, oh well. a.jump {position: absolute; left: -1000em; width: 20em;} (For teh searchers). Thanks again.
