"Partial Page Display" error
|

| One of our recent MCMS web sites has been intermittently experiencing
an unusual display error, which we have affectionately labeled the
"Partial Page Display" error.
The site has been designed in XHTML, and relies heavily on CSS for its
layout. Unfortunately, when viewing certain pages in Internet Explorer
6.0 (SP2), a portion of the main text content is omitted, as if it did
not exist in the source code. The browser renders the header, a portion
of the main content, and then the footer. When viewing the source code
of a partially-rendered page, we've noticed that all of the main
content is actually present in the source- it just isn't being
displayed on the page. Likewise, when the page is printed all content
is printed out even though only a portion of it is being displayed on
the monitor. This "Partial Page Load" error does not happen in any
other browsers that we have tested- it only occurs in Internet
Explorer.
We have attempted many stylesheet, and even some JavaScript, fixes, but
none have been successful. We are currently examining the impact of
converting all of the templates "backwards" to a table-based
(non-CSS) layout, but would obviously prefer not to take this route.
Has anyone ever encountered this issue before? Does anyone have an idea
what might be causing this or what we can do to remedy the issue?
Thank you in advance- any feedback/info you might have would be greatly
appreciated....

| Does your site run IE in quirks mode, or compliant mode? IOW, does each
page begin with something like:
<!DOCTYPE
html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/tr/xhtml1/dtd/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html
xml:lang="en"
lang="en"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
IE will render some things quite differently in one case than in the other.
This has to do with the so-called "box model bug" in IE 6.
