PHP Monkeh Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Ok usually I don't post new topics but for this one I'm really stumped. My page looks perfect in Firefox (as always), so I decided to take a look at it in IE - my god what a mistake. Here's three links to screenshots: FF.jpg http://img177.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ffiy1.jpg IE 1.jpg http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/1434/ie1fg9.th.jpg IE 2.jpg http://img205.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ie2wd2.jpg FF.jpg is what it looks like in Firefox, IE 1 is what it looks like when you open it for the first time, and IE 2 is what it looks like after you refresh the page. Now I could understand if something was going wrong the first time it was opened, but why on earth is it changing as soon as it's refreshed? Not that the page is correct after it's refresh anyway! What I'm trying to accomplish is pretty simple as far as web design goes, I've even decided to use tables so that I'm trying not to achieve the horrid 100% height using DIVs. Here's my index.php: <?php echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>\n"; ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/default/styles.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /> <title>Title</title> </head> <body> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" id="wrapper"> <tbody> <tr><td id="header"> </td></tr> <tr><td id="menu"> Menu </td></tr> <tr><td id="subMenu"> </td></tr> <tr><td id="container"> asd </td></tr> <tr><td id="footer"> Footer </td></tr> </tbody> </table> </body> </html> I'm echoing the first XML line via PHP because of short-tags problems (on certain hosts anyway). This is my stylesheet: html, body { width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana; font-size: 12px; background-image: url('images/bodyBackground.jpg'); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-color: #F6F6F6; text-align: center; } /* Layout IDs */ table#wrapper { width: 845px; height: 100%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; background-color: #FFFFFF; border-left: 1px solid #686868; border-right: 1px solid #686868; text-align: left; } table#wrapper td#header { height: 147px; background-image: url('images/serbisHeader.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; } table#wrapper td#menu { height: 31px; border-top: 1px solid #686868; border-bottom: 1px solid #686868; background-color: #f09f2c; } table#wrapper td#subMenu { height: 20px; border-bottom: 1px solid #686868; background-color: #c2c2c2; display: none; } table#wrapper td#container { height: 100%; vertical-align: top; padding: 10px; } table#wrapper td#footer { height: 20px; border-top: 1px solid #686868; background-color: #f09f2c; } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/90041-solved-ie-displaying-differently-on-refresh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHP Monkeh Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Ok I've actually found that it's something to do with the DOCTYPE. If I remove the DOCTYPE completely it works fine in IE, but I don't think that should have to be a solution (I've used DOCTYPES fine in IE before).

PHP Monkeh Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 I've just tested out the page (including DOCTYPE) here at work on IE6 and it works fine. So maybe this is just an issue with IE7?
