The plus_act.png and plus_inact.png files are missing from this build.

Also, under certain circumstances, the alternate widget can trigger the IE 6 peekaboo bug.

(see http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/peekaboo.html#)

Such as when used in a sticky node (with background color) with no images or user picture.

Solution is to add the Holly Hack to vote_up_down.css.

/* Holly Hack to fix IE bug with vote widget float */
/* See http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/peekaboo.html# */
/* Hides from IE5-mac \*/
* html .content {height: 1%;}
/* End hide from IE5-mac */

This hack adds a small height to the .content div. (the container for the voting widget) and prevents peekaboo errors.

I somehow missed to get plus_act.png and plus_inact.png tagged for 4.7, it should be fixed now. I also noticed now that INSTALL.txt was missing for the same reason. Thanks for reporting it!

I have also committed the IE6 bug fix even though I'm a bit hesitant to add CSS to a module that will affect all content on a site.

As to the Holly Hack, I share your concern about affecting all .content divs, however this hack SHOULD be beneficial for any other modules that embed float objects inside of the .content div. So far, I have not experienced any side effects. One compromise might be to comment out the hack in vote_up_down.css but mention it in the install.txt. That way, users would be alerted to the possible fix if the problem crops up for them.

One other nice thing about the Holly Hack is that it targets IE6 exclusively. All other browsers will ignore the hack.
