Hello,

when browsing a clients site (www.buyerscardplus.com), using IE the page sometimes doesn't render the stylesheet, or i have to hit refresh in order for it to display properly. firefox works fine.

as well with the admin pages, i have to hit refresh every time i click a link in the admin pages in order for it to render properly.

if anyone has any input i'd really appreciate it, thanks!

Marcel

I have similar problems with FF in unix.  Frequently I have to resize the screen for it to redraw.

I don't think that any of these are CMS issues, rather bugs with the browser.

thanks for the reply...

i've also taken a couple of screen captures, one rendered properly and one not rendered properly. i think this may be limited to ie6, but thats still a fair chunk of people, and is becoming a bit of a bothersome problem.

Hi Marcel.

It's clearly the CSS sheet that doesn't download. Two things you may want to fix in the template coding:


1) Delete the extra lang="en"


(I do not believe that's the issue. This is a bug in the CMSms template. The site I am building right now has the same problem and works fine in IE6.)


2) In the CMSms administration window of your CSS template(s) make sure to apply the right "media" to your individual style sheets.

This is your link:


This is what it should be:


(I don't thing it will change anything, but it's worth trying.)

Hmmmm,

trying to save some bandwidth i enabled compression on my apache server... guess what? that seems to have caused my css problems. Soon as i turned off compression, restarted and cleared cache everything is fine... this'd be one to remember. I hope that this saves someone else some time. ;) maybe compressing css is a bad idea.
