IE6 + IE7 CSS problem with overflow hidden
- by googletorp
So I have created a slider for a homepage, that slides some images with a title and teaser text using jQuery. Everything works fine, and I went to check IE and found that IE 6 and 7 kills my slider css completely. I can't figure out why, but for some reason I can't hide the non active slides with overflow: hidden; I've tried tweaking the css back and forth, but haven't been able to figure out what's causing the problem.
I've recreated the problem in a more isolated html page.

Any ideas as to why IE wont hide images outside div with class item-list?
