Hi There,
I have a funny type of problem.
I work for a company where i design and create web pages using php, along with html and some js -- (thats the background check) -- all of these pages are available to all internal users in my company.
Now, my problem is, i have created a page which, upon clicking the link, it opens, but does not display the information it is supposed to. In fact, it displays nothing at all, although it is reading the stylesheet, because i do see the background color specified in the stylesheet. Only upon refreshing the page (either by clicking refresh or F5) does the information display.
There are two things that puzzle me about this whole scenario, though.
The first is, that on my computer, I have no problems whatsoever. I see everything exactly as it should work. I only came across this problem once i tested it on a few other users' computers.
The second is, I use the same backbone code for this program as I do for another, and the other one works just fine, on all the computers in this company. This seems to be an isolated problem -- meaning just this one page, and it doesnt happen on random programs or computers, it's all of them except mine.
One last thing, this problem only seems to happen in IE. My chosen browser is Mozilla by personal preference, although the rest of the company works in IE. Getting them all to work on Mozilla is not an option, and even if it was, it still doesnt solve the original problem.
I have tested it in IE on my computer, but still I have no trouble in viewing the code.
It all seems to have something to do with the cache or the loading of the page or something, because only upon reloading the page does the information display (and it might also take a couple of reloads before anything happens)
I hope I've laid out the problem clear enough. Anyqueries, please ask, and any help would really be appreciated...
Thanks,
Tamiya

hummm that is a very strange problem indeed. Im going to go with the quick beginners question of 'Does the site generate its content based off of a cookie?' if so then the cookie has to be set BEFORE the execution of the page for it to be available in the $_COOKIE global.
now I know that probably did nothing for you so you should post your code so we can take a look at it.

You were right in the sense that it has absolutely nothing to do with cookies. It was something to do with the IE version that the rest of the company was running, which I was not. As i'm relatively new (in the IT dept) I had full reign on setting up my own computer with only the latest software, and allowing regular updates. Because as far as my boss is concerned, I'm supposed to know what I am doing....
Now, to come to the point, I had to find a work around to accomodate for the earlier versions, and also, make sure that the positioning of all th elayers were in a readable standard.
It does work now though,
Thanks Alot for your help
